About Marc

BACP counsellor with eight years of professional experience. Marc Dalal helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, career questions, grief and many other struggles.

Marc writes simply and directly in sessions. He works from approaches such as client-centred, existential, Jungian, narrative and solution-focused therapies. Sessions focus on what matters now - symptoms, patterns, and practical steps that fit a person's life. He uses conversational questions, reflective listening, and targeted exercises drawn from those approaches.

People come to Marc for problems that range from addiction and parenting strain to intimacy-related issues and bipolar management. He also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment or family of origin issues, and people negotiating kink and alternative sex culture. He pays attention to how past experiences shape present behaviour and relationships.

Marc treats issues such as chronic pain, illness and disability by looking at daily routines and coping strategies. He helps with work-related stress, career choices and compassion fatigue by clarifying values and short-term goals. The focus is on practical, achievable changes rather than long theoretical discussion.

To start, Marc asks a few questions to understand current difficulties and what the person hopes to change. That initial work guides which approaches he draws on next. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping someone make clearer decisions and feel steadier in day-to-day life.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them clarify their own solutions and choices. Existential therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and life direction. It helps people facing major life changes, career decisions or questions about purpose by examining values and options.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc treats approach selection as a collaborative process. He will discuss your needs, goals and preferred ways of working, then try methods that suit those aims. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback emerge.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, and it can suit short check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what fits daily life. Online sessions also offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving or medical appointments, as they can often be scheduled more easily around other commitments.
