About Marc
Marc Dalal is a BACP counsellor with eight years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career uncertainty, addiction, grief and a wide range of life changes. He also supports concerns around intimacy, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges and ADHD.
Marc’s way of working is straightforward and person-focused. He treats the client as the expert on their life and listens for what matters most. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to patterns that keep problems repeating and to small steps that can change daily life.
He draws on a mix of approaches to suit different kinds of problems. That can mean exploring personal meaning and values, looking at stories people tell about themselves, or focusing on immediate solutions and coping skills. Jungian ideas about images and symbols sometimes help when people want to understand deeper feelings and long-standing patterns.
People who come to Marc often want help making decisions, managing stress, or recovering from past hurts. He talks through how difficulties started and what keeps them going now. He also works with specific issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and challenges linked to alternative sexual cultures.
Sessions aim to be clear and down-to-earth. Marc will help identify small practical changes and different ways of thinking that can reduce distress and open up options. To begin, clients use the site matching process to set up an initial appointment and outline what they want to address.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Marc draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and respecting their view of themselves, which helps when someone is unsure about life direction or relationships. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps rewrite unhelpful accounts, making it useful for issues like trauma, family of origin problems and attachment. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to reduce immediate distress and build coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marc will discuss different methods in early sessions and try to match ways of working to the client’s concerns, goals and preferences. That collaboration means adjustments are likely as clearer aims emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and other commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer talking without video, or having sessions that suit a lunch break or a quieter hour at home. Registered and accredited professionals often use online methods to reach clients across distances, and Marc will explain the practical arrangements when you book.
