My name is Mark and I am a psychotherapist and psychotherapeutic counsellor, specialising in Transactional Analysis.
Originally from New Zealand, I settled in the UK 21 years ago and now live near Kelso in the beautiful Scottish Borders, an hour south of Edinburgh.
My practice has developed around a relational approach to psychotherapy, with Transactional Analysis at its core. Increasingly, my work draws on somatic and bodymind approaches, recognising that what we experience and communicate is not always held in words or conscious thought. I bring these different strands together according to the person I am working with and what emerges between us.

Transactional Analysis Practitioner
People come to psychotherapy for many different reasons. You may be struggling with something specific, noticing patterns that keep repeating, experiencing difficulties in your relationships, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply. We begin with what has brought you here and what feels important now.
Whether we meet face-to-face near Kelso in the Scottish Borders, or online from elsewhere in the UK or Europe, you don't need to know exactly what you need from therapy. We can work that out together, developing an understanding of what is happening and what you might want to change.
"Mark is an honest compassionate and empathetic therapist. His wisdom and openness helped to clarify my thoughts and feelings during some of the most traumatic experiences. His fundamental support and empowerment has helped me to develop new approaches to aid and manage my emotional and mental wellbeing. I will be eternally grateful to Mark who has helped restore my faith in humanity."
