Welcome. My name is Marcus, and I am a Provisional Psychologist. I hold a Master of Arts in counselling psychology, a Bachelor of Kinesiology, and I am a Somatic Experiencing practitioner.
I work with teens and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves, often in the context of trauma, chronic stress, emotional regulation difficulties, or demanding life circumstances. Many clients come to therapy seeking symptom relief, while also wanting deeper understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.
I support individuals experiencing:
• Trauma, chronic stress, and nervous system overwhelm
• Emotional regulation challenges, shutdown, or reactivity
• Anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, and trauma-related symptoms
• Relationship and attachment concerns, including boundaries and communication
• Life transitions, identity shifts, grief, and loss
• Substance use and coping patterns that no longer feel helpful
• High performance pressure, burnout, and loss of balance or meaning
Having competed in elite sport at the university, national, and professional levels, I bring a strong understanding of high-pressure environments. I work with athletes, professionals, and entrepreneurs who want to perform well without sacrificing their mental health, relationships, or sense of self.
My approach is trauma-informed and holistic, focusing on the dynamic connection between mind, body, and environment rather than symptoms alone. I integrate evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioural therapy, somatic experiencing, parts work, solution-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. For clients who find it meaningful, I also integrate spiritual and cultural practices.
I strive to offer a safe, grounded, and non-judgmental space where you can be yourself. Therapy is a collaborative process, and meaningful change happens when you feel supported, understood, and empowered to shape your own life.
