About Marc

Marc Dalal is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger and relationship difficulties. He encourages people to speak plainly about what is troubling them and supports them as they work through painful or confusing moments. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where small changes can lead to steadier days.

Marc uses several well known therapy approaches and adapts them to each person. He draws on client-centred work to listen and respond to what the person brings. He also uses narrative ideas to help people reframe problems and Solution-Focused steps to identify practical next moves.

In sessions he focuses on what you want to change and on realistic, manageable steps. He talks through patterns, explores values, and helps build coping skills that fit everyday life. Expect clear, direct conversation and an emphasis on practical progress rather than long theoretical discussions.

Marc works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar disorder and compassion fatigue. He also offers support around intimacy-related issues, family problems, communication and attachment concerns. He respects each person’s pace and priorities when setting goals.

Marc is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and based in the United Kingdom. If you want to begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. The therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects back what matters to them, which can help with issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship doubts.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move a person towards their goals. Sessions often concentrate on what is already working and on building simple, repeatable actions to reduce stress or manage anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something does not fit.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also offer greater flexibility for arranging appointments outside of standard office hours. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to help people maintain regular progress while juggling everyday responsibilities.
