The sessions are always enlightening and the results are life-changing. I no longer smoke and my career has progressed significantly.

You have helped me to get my independence back, I was stuck in such a small circle of area and was becoming depressed!

Katie - Fear of Needles and Hospitals
I went to Mark with a fear of anything medical, most of all having an injection. My therapy was in a nice, quiet space and wasnt rushed, Without my therapy I wouldnt have been able to move on and have medical help if needed or gone on to have my 2 little boys.
Lorraine - Performance
Hi Mark, its Lorraine, just a quick text to let you know I played really well at Butlins and enjoyed it. I really did feel calm before and during, just a little bit of an edge, all went great, thank you, we got a medal and I now feel fantastic. Without your help I wouldve backed out (Cornet Player, Brass Band)

Rachel - Children's Anxiety and Exams A friend recommended Mark. He has been absolutely fantastic in aiding both my children with anxiety issues as well as offering significant support around 11+. Also, the strategies he taught supported us all and continue to do so. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone else
Zoey (and Danny the horse)- PTSD I had a bad riding accident about 12 years ago. Ever since that day I have struggled. Every time I got in the saddle the fear would come back. I just couldn't get over the accident. After seeing Mark a few times, I got straight on the horse and the fear had all gone. Im now riding like I was before.
