The Journey That Lead Me To Becoming A Therapist
Hello I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Mark, and I am a qualified psychotherapist and the founder of, Inertia Counselling Services. My path to becoming a therapist began with a life-altering event in 2005 when I experienced a serious accident in which I nearly lost my life. This challenging time led me to seek therapy for myself, and even though I was initially a sceptic, (thinking this would never work for me) it became a transformative experience that I will never forget. Therapy not only helped me navigate one of the most difficult periods of my life but it also inspired a deep passion within me to want to go forward and support others, on their journey's. Today, my personal journey has shaped and continues to this day to shape my empathetic and
client-focused approach, ensuring that I provide a compassionate and safe space where people can feel heard and above all supported throughout their journeys.
Qualifications And Specialisations
​I Have a Level 4 and Level 5 diploma in Psychodynamic and Systemic therapy, I bring a solid academic foundation to my practice. I am also certified by the Institute for Family Therapy (I.F.T.) and I have an advanced qualification in children and young person therapy and psychosexual therapy. My work that I do involves a range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, PTSD + CPTSD, grief, addictions, and fixations. I also specialise in and have additional training in addressing issues such as peer pressure, phobias, and family conflicts. By drawing on diverse therapeutic techniques, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients.
Creating A Safe And Supportive Space
I fully understand how daunting it can be for a person to reach out and ask for help, especially when facing emotional challenges. Having once been on the client side myself, I know and realise the courage it takes for a person to take those first steps. Here at Inertia Counselling Services, I prioritise creating a warm, safe, relaxed, non-judgmental environment where clients can feel comfortable sharing their concerns. My trauma-informed care approach ensures sensitivity and understanding, particularly for those who have experienced difficult life events.
Personalised Plans
Here at Inertia Counselling Services, I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey that we will take together. So together, we will identify your goals and create a personalised plan that aligns with your needs. Combining techniques from psychodynamic, systemic, person-centred, C.B.T, Gestalt and integrative therapies, I aim to provide effective, tailored support. Whether working with individuals, couples, or whole families, my focus is on helping my clients achieve meaningful progress and long-term emotional well-being.
​I've been having sessions with Mark for over two years now and plan to continue going forward. He's a great listener but also encourages me to think through things myself, provides me with the space to understand myself better, and allows me to openly discuss my issues.
