About Marc

Marc Dalal works on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other concerns using a person-centred approach. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of professional experience. Marc encourages people to use their own knowledge about themselves while offering practical support in sessions.

He draws on client-centred therapy to focus on the person's experience and on narrative and solution-focused methods to help untangle difficult stories and identify small, achievable changes. He also uses aspects of Jungian and existential thinking where helpful, for example when exploring meaning, identity, or deeper emotional patterns.

Marc works with people facing issues such as grief, parenting pressures, career strain, addiction, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, intimacy-related issues including BDSM and kink, chronic illness and pain, and fatherhood questions.

Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. Marc listens to the person’s account, reflects on patterns, and helps set short-term goals or ways of coping between meetings. He uses straightforward techniques from his listed approaches rather than technical jargon.

People often come to him for help with anger, self-esteem, bipolar-related challenges, ADHD, communication problems, dissociation, and family of origin issues. Marc aims to make therapy understandable, focusing on what clients can try next rather than long theoretical descriptions.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and responding with non-judgemental reflection, which helps when someone needs to talk through stress, relationship issues or parenting concerns. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and separates problems from identity, useful for issues like addiction, grief or family of origin difficulties. Solution-focused therapy aims to identify small, practical steps and exceptions to a problem, which can be helpful when coping with life changes or setting achievable goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc will discuss what feels most useful and choose methods together with the client based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session pace and focus rather than imposing a single method.

Confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins if that suits a day when a longer meeting is difficult. It can also allow sessions where conversation and reflective techniques are the main focus rather than exercises that need special equipment.
