Mark Palmer
Person-centred counsellor who understands ADHD
About Mark
Mark Palmer is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has three years of experience and works in a person-centred way to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He draws on personal experience of living with ADHD to relate to clients who struggle with racing thoughts and self-doubt.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing right now, with space to look at patterns that keep causing pain.
Background and approach
He uses Client-Centred Therapy to offer empathy and listening, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts, and Psychodynamic ideas to explore deeper patterns. People come to him for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, parenting strain, career worries, ADHD and coping with life changes.
He also works with concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and isolation or loneliness. Sessions can vary depending on what someone needs that week. Some sittings are focused on practical tools and planning, while others are quieter and reflective.
Mark aims to help people leave with clearer next steps and a better sense of what they want to change. He offers appointments via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and prices vary with location and therapist availability.

How his approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space and follows what matters most to the person, which can help when someone feels overwhelmed or unheard.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and develop practical skills for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people meet face to face from different locations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for written check-ins or ongoing support without scheduling a full call.
These formats give flexibility and options so that people can choose what suits them best, and adapt how they work together as therapy progresses.
