"I decided to contact Marcus as I needed support overcoming anxiety mainly linked to work. Like a specialised anxiety therapist, Marcus provided a really safe and understanding environment from session one in which I could share my concerns.  We worked on practical techniques which challenged the in-built negative beliefs I had. I use many of these techniques to stave off the feelings I have now, and it really does work." JL

  "I got in contact with Marcus last year at time when my company had hit a slump after a very difficult business year. I had lost my confidence and sight of my goals had never done any form of coaching or therapy but I was willing to try – it’s one of the best decisions I have made personally and as a CEO in the broadcast industry. 

From the first session he made me feel incredibly comfortable and I was honest in a way I never normally am and then over three months, having sessions with Marcus helped me re-focus, reconnect and ultimately become a better boss. I truly think this is the reason why my business has gone on to thrive over the last year." SB

"OCD had been debilitating my life for a few years. The REBT approach to dealing with this anxiety disorder initially helped me understand the root beliefs which led to my compulsive behaviours and intrusive thinking. We also addressed the negative view of myself which had become normal as someone whose life was so impacted by it all. The structured ERP work we did has helped me build the confidence needed to challenge and stop my behaviours."

  "Marcus's work was extremely effective as he understood the issues that needed to be discussed and resolved for our prospective adopters. As an adopter himself, he also knew what they would likely struggle with when children were placed and could help prepare prospective adopters for that. His assessments we used successfully in the PARs that I prepared.”

"Our son had been suffering panic attacks and felt so alone and afraid. With some education about the nature of panic disorder, he began to understand how common this can be and therefore how he was not 'damaged'. Simple but challenging exercises helped our son develop the resilience to remain in situations he would have previously wanted to escape from, and that stepping stone has had a massive impact on his confidence." 

"I had always had issues with accepting myself and believing that I wasn't broken. The work we did together helped me undo the negative judgements that I subtly but constantly threw at myself. That doesn't mean I don't have things I'd like to work on, but I've stopped comparing myself to others, stopped believing that I could never change and began to embrace the things about myself that are unique."
