About Marc

Marc Dalal is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and career change. He also helps with addiction, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and neurodiversity-related concerns.

Marc holds BACP accreditation, which appears after his name as BACP. His style is straightforward and collaborative. He encourages people to speak plainly about what feels hard and helps them find practical ways to cope.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, whether that is reducing day-to-day anxiety or working through a painful memory. Marc draws on a mix of approaches to fit different needs. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past experiences continue to affect daily life.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own goals and pace at the centre of the work. Existential and Jungian ideas can help people make sense of identity and meaning, and Narrative Therapy supports rethinking unhelpful stories people tell about themselves. He works with people dealing with abandonment, attachment and family of origin issues, and difficulties linked to autism and Asperger syndrome.

He also supports people with intimacy-related concerns, kink or BDSM questions, and the stress of caregiving. Marc aims for practical steps and clearer thinking after sessions. He meets people where they are, listens without judgement, and helps develop tools to manage symptoms and move forward.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Marc uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address how past distressing events still affect day-to-day life; this approach aims to help reduce intrusive memories and improve coping with triggers. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own goals and experience at the heart of each session, helping people feel heard and guiding them at their chosen pace. Existential therapy supports people who are questioning meaning, identity or life's direction by encouraging honest reflection and practical next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marc treats the first sessions as collaborative conversations to figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. He will adjust methods over time as the person's situation and priorities change.

Online therapy with him is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face contact when that matters. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or useful when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who find typed communication easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
