Even if a client feels stuck in unhelpful or destructive patterns, Marcus helps them to develop a genuine understanding of their circumstances and options in moving forward. He is insightful, engaging and outcome-focused - he supports clients with practical guidance and effective strategies to address their concerns. By understanding reactions, accepting them, and learning to modify them as necessary, real change and growth can occur.

He incorporates a number of counselling techniques into his practice, dependent on individual therapeutic needs. Modalities that Marcus uses include: Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Systemic Family Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy and Recovery-Oriented Therapy.
