Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

If you're lucky enough to be matched with Mark you won't need to switch therapists. I'm not just saying that, but over the years I've had many therapists give up on me, throw me in the too hard basket. Mark does not do that. He will find a way, a challenge doesn't scare him, is compassionate and understanding of a variety of issues. I'm so grateful to have Mark as my therapist and I will be staying on this platform until he's sick of me!

He has helped me to deal with a variety of issues including: changing unwanted behaviors, managing anxiety, developing a more positive perspective, reducing friction in my relationships, and helping me to stay positive through one of the most difficult and challenging portions of my life thus far. His advice and calming presence are truly indispensable in my life right now.

Highly recommend Mark. He is an extremely insightful, gentle and understanding person. He's been very reliable and helpful to me in my struggles with bouncing back after 10 years of continuous trauma. I needed someone who could understand and hold space for many different psychological issues and help me find solutions from multiple angles. After 15 months of therapy with Mark I can honestly say he's made a huge positive impact on my life. I really recommend him to anyone who is ready to turn their life around.

I have worked with Mark for a little over a year now as I was dealing with the loss of a loved one and a corresponding existential depression. I am so grateful for all the support he has provided me - from addressing all my concerns, to being available on short notice, and equipping me with techniques I can use for the rest of my life. I would highly recommend Mark for anyone who wants a calm expert on how the brain works!

I've found my conversations with Mark to be very helpful. He is both professional and very funny and I really appreciate that combo. He is a great listener and has a lot of resources at hand to share that are helpful for further reflection.

Reviewed June 2021

I was quite specific in what I asked for as wanted solution focused therapy instead of person centred counselling. I was matched with Mark and it was an excellent match. Mark has really delivered what I had asked for in helping me find solutions. Using worksheets etc. Goal setting etc . Mark is very relatable, down to earth and has a good sense of humour. Very relaxed and put me at my ease.

Reviewed June 2021

I feel very safe sharing with Mark, and love his methodology. I feel supported in my own discoveries, he lets me figure things out on my own and simply guides me through certain things whenever he feels necessary. Sometimes I do feel like he holds back certain things, but I always feel like it's in a "saying this now would not be productive and it'll be better if he figures it out on his own" sort of way. All in all he is a great counselor and I am really happy to have been matched with him.
