Online psychotherapy offers a regular space to explore your experience without travelling to a clinic. We work with what matters to you now, including the feelings, reactions and choices that have become difficult to handle alone.
You can also email me.
I am Mark Colclough, MA, a psychotherapist in practice since 2004. TherapyMark offers individual online sessions in English for adults seeking help with their emotions, relationships and personal choices.
You might be living abroad, moving between countries or simply prefer to meet by video. Tell me where you are based and your time zone before arranging a session. We discuss suitability, privacy, length and fees together.
You can ask about a first conversation without having a diagnosis or a polished explanation of what is wrong.
These reviews describe clients’ experiences of working with me. They come from my wider practice and do not all relate to online sessions. Each person’s experience is their own, and a review does not promise a particular outcome.
I am Mark Colclough, MA. I have practised since 2004 and offer online psychotherapy and couples therapy in English.
My training brings together your emotions, your thoughts and your relationships. My deep passion is the moment when what happens between you finally makes sense, to each of you and to each other. I have lived and worked in nine countries, so I know something of life across languages, cultures and borders.
Read about my background, or explore online psychotherapy and online couples therapy.
I meet regularly with experienced psychotherapists to reflect on my work, question my understanding and develop my skills. Supervision is part of the professional care I bring to individual and couples work, including online sessions.
My focus is thoughtful practice, integrity and responsibility.
You are welcome to ask about the kind of support you need.
Tell me where you are based and your time zone. We can then consider whether online sessions together are suitable.
You may be managing your life and still need somewhere to be honest about how it feels.
Perhaps you keep getting through the day but have little room left for yourself. A change of country, work or relationship may have made familiar support harder to reach. Or the same difficulty follows you, even when the circumstances change.
We take your experience seriously and look at what you need, rather than asking you to justify why you cannot manage on your own.
When your days become a list of things to finish, it can be hard to notice what you feel or want. We make space to distinguish fatigue, sadness, resentment and the need for something different. Understanding the experience comes before forcing yourself to do more.
You may feel you should cope because others rely on you, or because your situation looks fine from the outside. We can explore that pressure too. Needing support does not remove your independence; it can give you more freedom in how you use it.
A short message or a change of tone may send you searching for an explanation. We look at what uncertainty brings up and how you respond. The aim is to understand your need for reassurance and find ways to act that do not leave you trapped in repeated checking.
You can want closeness and find it overwhelming. We explore what happens between reaching out and pulling back, without forcing the response into a label. That can help you explain your limits and choose how to remain in contact.
Staying quiet may have helped you avoid conflict or keep daily life moving. In therapy, we can notice what is harder to say and what you expect might happen if you say it. There is no requirement to disclose everything at once.
When you have spent years adjusting to other people, it can be difficult to identify your preference. We work with small, real choices and the feelings around them. Your values become clearer through experience, not through finding a perfect answer.
If you would like a space to work on this, send a brief enquiry with your country and time zone. We can discuss whether online sessions fit your needs.
You can also email me.
Tell me briefly what kind of support you are looking for.
Include your country and time zone so we can discuss whether online work together is possible and find a suitable time.
You do not need to explain your whole story in your first message.

Insight matters when it helps you live differently.
Our work connects what you understand about yourself with what happens in daily situations. We pay attention to feelings, bodily responses, personal meaning and relationships. You do not need to choose one neat explanation before we begin.
I bring questions, reflection and professional judgement. We also check whether my understanding fits your experience.
We start with what brought you here and a recent example. That helps turn a broad concern into something we can examine. The focus may change as you understand more, but we keep a connection to the reason you asked for help.
We look at the moments before the response, including what you expect and what you feel. Noticing the sequence can create more room to choose. We work at a pace where you can test a different action rather than simply blame yourself for the old one.
We explore how much is manageable and how to return to the present when a conversation feels too intense. Online, your surroundings matter too. We agree a way to pause, ground yourself and reconnect instead of pushing through whatever the cost.
We separate what you are responsible for from what belongs to someone else. Guilt may still be present when you make a needed change. The work is to understand it and act thoughtfully, rather than wait until saying no feels completely easy.
We can examine what you want, fear and feel obliged to do. I do not make the decision for you. Therapy offers space to understand the pressures around a choice and take responsibility for the direction you choose.
Progress may mean recognising a reaction sooner, asking more directly, recovering after a difficult day or making a choice you used to avoid. We look for changes that matter to you and speak openly when the work does not seem useful.
You can also email me.
You can begin with a question rather than a complete story.
Tell me where you are based, your time zone and the kind of support you are seeking. We consider whether online therapy with me is suitable. Before you confirm a session, we agree the practical arrangements, length and fee.
You can say that. We might begin with what has become harder recently, or what you hope would feel different. I help you find a starting point; you do not need to prepare a complete life history.
It may be useful when you want to understand your own experience, needs and choices. If the main aim is work together on a relationship, we can discuss couples therapy instead. An enquiry is a chance to clarify the format before committing.
Yes. We work with your experience and the part you can influence. We do not diagnose an absent partner from your account or treat individual work as if both partners were present.
We agree a rhythm that gives enough continuity while fitting your circumstances. Your time zone, privacy and the time needed after a session are part of that decision. We review the arrangement as the work develops.
No multi-session purchase is assumed when you ask about therapy. If an ongoing arrangement is offered, check the total cost, validity and cancellation terms first. Rates or packages from my local clinic sites do not automatically apply here.
We review what has helped, what remains and whether this is the right moment to stop. An ending can be planned rather than abrupt. You can also raise concerns about fit or usefulness at any stage.
You can enquire about difficult emotions, self-criticism, boundaries, relationship patterns or a period of change. We discuss your needs before deciding whether this is an appropriate service. You do not need a diagnosis to make an enquiry.
No. TherapyMark is for people seeking online therapy in English. You may be an expat, live across cultures or prefer video sessions for practical reasons. Tell me your location so we can check whether work together is possible.
We explore your experience rather than begin with a label. If your needs would be better met by another form of support or assessment, I will discuss that with you. The aim is useful understanding, not a fixed account of who you are.
We can slow down and notice what is happening. Silence may be meaningful, or you may simply need time. You are not required to produce a steady flow of words to use the session.
No. We consider your needs, privacy, location and the limits of meeting by video. Online therapy is not an emergency response. If a different service is needed, we discuss that rather than assume video sessions are the answer.
Choose a private room, a device with clear audio and a stable connection. Headphones can help when others are nearby. Give yourself a little time before and after the meeting, and agree what to do if the connection drops.
That depends on what you want help with and how the work develops. We agree a starting arrangement and review it. I do not promise a particular result in a fixed number of sessions.
Yes. TherapyMark’s online sessions are in English. We can also explore what it is like to speak about feelings in a language that is not your first, including the words and meanings you find harder to translate.
Ask for a current online quote. We agree the currency, session length and any payment costs before you confirm. The prices page explains the arrangements without importing clinic rates from another domain.
Use the session request page or email [email protected]. Include your country and time zone, plus a brief description of what you are looking for. Wait for the agreed arrangements to be confirmed.
You can also email me.
I want therapy to help you understand your experience and make choices you can use in everyday life. We pay attention to feelings, needs and the responses that happen before you have time to think.
Our online room should offer enough trust and honesty to explore what is difficult. I bring attention and professional judgement. You bring your experience, questions and the right to say when something does not fit.
