About Marc

Marc Dalal is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. He works with a wide range of issues including grief, addictions, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Marc is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, usually shown as BACP.

Marc uses straightforward, person-focused ways of working. He listens first and helps people name what matters to them. Sessions aim to make small, practical changes and to build clearer thinking about next steps. He draws on several approaches so the work is shaped around the individual rather than a single method.

In sessions Marc may use client-centred listening to build trust and make space for difficult feelings. Narrative ideas help people tell their story in new ways and spot patterns that keep them stuck. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small steps that bring immediate relief and forward motion.

Marc has spent years helping people manage long-term difficulties like chronic illness, ADHD and compassion fatigue, as well as issues around attachment, abandonment and fatherhood. He also addresses concerns that touch on intimacy and alternative sexual cultures in a non-judgemental way.

People looking for practical support are invited to consider what they want to change and to start a conversation. The emphasis is on collaboration, clarity and finding approaches that fit each person’s life and goals.

How Marc’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and supporting people to find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs a calm space to be heard and to make sense of difficult feelings. Narrative Therapy invites people to tell their story and then look for moments and meanings that can be retold differently. This can be useful for shifting unhelpful patterns and separating a person from the problem. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that fit those needs. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Online therapy can make sessions easier to slot into an everyday routine, which helps people keep momentum. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed, or work around quieter times in a day. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use online meetings to offer continuity and to reach people who need a practical way to fit therapy into busy lives.
