About Marc

Marc Dalal is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience. He helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and the ups and downs of chronic health issues. He works with people facing addiction, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar experience, compassion fatigue and life changes.

Marc uses straightforward, person-focused conversations. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen without rushing and to help people find their own answers. He also uses Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves and Solution-Focused Therapy to set practical short-term goals.

Sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs. Marc aims to create a calm space to talk through painful events, unpack relationship patterns and plan next steps. He offers help with attachment and abandonment worries, family of origin problems and issues around intimacy and commitment.

Marc has a BACP accreditation, which shows his connection to a professional body. He works in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. He asks people to expect clear steps at the start - a short questionnaire and a scheduling process - so therapy can begin in an organised way.

People who choose Marc can expect a collaborative approach. He focuses on what matters now, and on simple tools that fit everyday life. He encourages gradual change and checks progress as therapy continues.

Therapeutic approaches and how they suit online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on hearing the person and reflecting their experience back so they can find their own solutions; it helps with low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship worries. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and can help shift unhelpful patterns by re-authoring those stories. Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and goal-oriented, concentrating on small practical steps that lead to change over a few sessions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences and how you respond to different ways of working. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on exploring life meaning, examining personal stories, or setting concrete goals first.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for quieter surroundings, and reduce travel time. It can also permit shorter check-ins when life is hectic and make scheduling around work or caring duties simpler. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and adapt sessions to what suits each person best.
