About Marc

Marc Dalal is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and life changes. He also works with concerns such as addiction, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and ADHD. He supports people dealing with intimacy issues, bipolar concerns and compassion fatigue. Marc is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and works from the United Kingdom.

Marc aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. He listens without judgement and helps people name what feels difficult. Conversations focus on what matters now, and on small practical steps a person can try between sessions.

His approach draws on client-centred ideas that put the person’s experience front and centre. He also uses narrative and solution-focused methods to help people reframe problems and build what works for them. Jungian and existential perspectives are used where exploring meaning and inner patterns feels helpful.

Marc has supported people through relationship strain, family problems and fatherhood issues, and he also works with autism and Asperger syndrome related concerns. He pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes, dissociation, and chronic pain or long-term illness when they affect day-to-day life.

People who choose Marc can expect a calm, respectful space to talk, clear steps to try between meetings, and a collaborative plan that reflects their goals. To begin, users follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Step 3

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and follows what the person says, helping them find their own solutions and feel understood. Narrative Therapy works by looking at the stories people tell about their lives, then gently reshaping those stories so they create more options and hope for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc will explore what feels most useful with each person and adjust his methods to match their needs, goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight. They can also make it simpler to meet with a counsellor from your own region without changing daily routines.
