Welcome to Mark Barren Therapy
Life can feel tough at times and feelings can begin to overwhelm us. Perhaps you find yourself here because you are feeling anxious, or angry, or sad, and can't quite put your finger on why. Perhaps you find building and maintaining relationships hard or are in a particularly challenging stage of your life.
I offer a calm, holding and empathic space in which you can build awareness and understanding of the feelings and emotions that hold you back and prevent you living the life you would like. I aim to create an environment in which you can explore the here-and-now challenges of life and reflect on them in the context of your full life experience in order to begin the process of positive change.

Making Contact
Initial Consultation
Initial Consultation
I offer a free, 15-min, no-obligation phone or online session which gives a chance to meet, talk a little about what brings you to therapy and what you might be looking for. It also provides an opportunity to explain how I work and discuss next steps, including availability and fees

Our first session will be a 60-90 minute consultation in which we will talk in more detail about your background, family & relationship history, life right now and what you would like to work towards in counselling and psychotherapy. This initial consultation is charged at my standard fee.

If we decide to work together following the initial consultation we will meet for 50 minutes each week. I practice in an open-ended way meaning we won't put an end date on our work. Instead we will check in regularly to review your therapy experience against progress and goals
