About Marc
Marc Dalal is a counsellor with eight years of experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems and parenting challenges. He works with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, anger and self-esteem. He also helps people dealing with bipolar symptoms, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Marc holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as BACP. Marc uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions. He listens first and follows the client's lead to understand what matters most.
Background and approach
He focuses on practical steps and small shifts that can ease daily life. His approach draws on client-centred work that prioritises the person's own goals and values. He also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves.
These methods aim to make problems feel more manageable. Marc values collaboration and straightforward communication. He will work with each person to set realistic goals and check progress along the way.
Sessions are aimed at finding what helps in real life rather than fitting clients into a model. He offers a calm, attentive presence and practical ideas for coping with change. People often come for help with family pressures, fatherhood concerns, attachment issues and communication problems.
Marc provides support for those situations without assuming a one-size-fits-all solution.

How Marc's approaches work online
Client-centred therapy places the person's own priorities at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what the client brings, which helps when dealing with stress, parenting concerns or relationship problems.Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives. It helps people separate themselves from a problem and rewrite unhelpful narratives, which can be useful for trauma, attachment issues and self-esteem struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marc will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. He works collaboratively to adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people talk face-to-face when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, ongoing support between calls. These formats help fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
