Mark Palmer, BACP

Mark Palmer is a Person-Centred Counsellor with three years of professional experience supporting people through periods of stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore thoughts and emotions at their own pace and work toward clearer self-understanding and greater self-acceptance.

Mark brings a relatable perspective to his work, drawing on both formal training and his own experience of living with ADHD. That personal insight helps him recognise what racing thoughts, self-doubt, and the pressure to keep up can feel like, and informs a practical, empathetic approach to therapy. He aims to make sessions feel grounded and real rather than overly clinical.

As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Mark combines person-centred values with techniques suited to each person’s needs, whether the focus is anxiety, parenting challenges, career concerns, addictions, or coping after separation. He sees therapy as a collaborative journey and works alongside people to build clarity, confidence, and the skills needed to manage everyday pressures and longer-term change.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Mark Palmer

Mark Palmer draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to support people in managing anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an accepting, empathetic environment where individuals lead the pace and direction of exploration - this approach helps when someone needs a trusting space to process feelings and regain confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mark works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together they review how sessions are going and adapt techniques as needed to make progress that feels meaningful.

Online therapy with Mark uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to support. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments and allow people to engage in therapy from their own environments. Licensed professionals and therapists often find that remote formats can maintain continuity of care while offering practical convenience.
