About Marc

Marc Dalal is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, career issues, addictions, grief, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem concerns and other life changes.

He keeps sessions straightforward. Conversations focus on what matters now. He helps clients name patterns, understand reactions, and test small changes that can make day-to-day life easier. Marc encourages people to bring practical problems and honest questions to each session.

His work draws on client-centred practice, which puts the client's perspective at the core of the sessions. He also uses narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves and solution-focused methods to set clear, achievable steps forward. Jungian and existential influences appear when deeper meaning and personal values are part of the difficulty.

Marc aims to help people who are worn down by repeated conflict, mounting frustration, or persistent low mood. He is used to talking about intimacy, attachment and issues that come from family of origin or fatherhood concerns. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, burnout and chronic health struggles.

People start by describing what they want to change. From there he and the client decide how to work together, using practical conversation and targeted techniques. To begin, the site asks users to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy puts the client's viewpoint first and relies on listening and open questions to help people understand what they want to change. Online this looks like calm, focused conversation aimed at clarifying the client's goals and next steps.

Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from the problem by examining the stories they tell about their lives. In remote sessions this can help shift unhelpful labels and open up new ways of acting in relationships and at work.

Solution-focused work targets small, achievable changes and clear actions. When working online, this often becomes short, practical tasks to try between sessions and quick review of what did or did not help.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc will discuss different ways of working and decide together with the client which methods suit their needs and preferences. The choice is collaborative and can change as goals become clearer.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used; please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for a shorter check-in when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use a break from work or other commitments more readily.
