Rooted Tree Counselling

Firstly a warm hello, I’m Mark, the founder and therapist here at Rooted Tree Counselling. Thank you for taking the time to look at our posts, we hope you’ve been finding them useful. A bit about me. I have been working in the field of Therapy since 2014, where i worked as an adventure therapy practitioner. I used outdoor pursuits and therapeutic conversations as a vessel for creating positive change, working with children who’s lives had often been too colourful for education. I went on to become an accredited therapist in 2019, setting up my private practise at the end of that year. My Approach towards providing therapy is humanistic integrative and I work holistically, but what does this actually mean? It means I look at things as a whole system not individual parts, taking into account physical, mental and emotional health. I utilise a variety of approaches within a humanistic framework such as Person-Centred, Transactional analysis, Gestalt and Solution focussed therapy. What can you expect from our sessions? I now work with adults, offering counselling sessions over zoom and create a safe, non judgmental space for you to open up a dialect. In this space I listen to what areas you’d like to work on and together we may create strategies or approaches towards creating the changes you desire. I listen to you with empathy, accept you as a person and what you bring into the sessions, as well as appropriately challenging you if necessary. I don’t believe that you can be ‘therapised’, as therapy is a two way process and relies on both you and I working together. Counselling falls under ‘talking therapy’, however if appropriate I use visual aids, offer different techniques and may invite you to get creative as part of the therapy process. I’m a registered counsellor with the National Counselling Society (NCS), work within their ethical framework and have full Insurance.
