Background and approach

Options he commonly offers include cognitive behavioural techniques, trauma-focused work, EMDR, hypnotherapy and person-centred talking. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on real-life changes. He often combines short-term skills with deeper processing.

That might mean learning ways to manage worry, trying different ways of thinking, or working through painful memories. Marc also pays attention to issues like attachment, body image, dissociation and the impact of chronic illness or caregiving stress. Marc keeps communication prompt and asks for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel a session.

He accepts international clients and conducts sessions online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. The format is chosen to suit each person's needs and practical constraints. People who want a straightforward, collaborative style may find his approach helpful.

He aims to make each session useful and to help people build practical tools for day-to-day life.

How Marc’s approaches work in online therapy

Marc commonly uses trauma-focused therapy to help people process distressing memories and reduce their impact on daily life; this approach aims to help people feel safer and more in control after traumatic experiences. He also uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening, acceptance and working at the client's pace to build understanding and self-direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is another tool he employs to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marc will talk through options and tailor methods to the person's goals and comfort level. Decisions about which techniques to try are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual contact, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and geographic distance while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional processing.
