About Mark
Mark combines his extensive recovery experience with a compassionate approach to help others navigate their path to healing.
Before entering the healing profession, Mark worked in the financial services sector. However, after realising the profound impact of addiction on his life, he transitioned into therapy. Since 2009, Mark has worked extensively with individuals, families, and couples, offering therapy and support for various forms of addiction, compulsive behaviours, and co-dependency struggles. His clients value his natural enthusiasm, eclectic approach to counselling, and broad life experience, which includes a deep understanding of both the shame of addiction and the grace of recovery.
