About me

I鈥檓 Mark Ames, a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Coach. Alongside my professional training, I bring life experience from raising two sons with my wife, and over 35 years of leadership in student support services in higher education.

I work with people who feel stuck, whether in relationships, work, family life, or simply within themselves, and want support to understand what鈥檚 holding them back and how to move forward.

Why people come to see me

Clients come with a wide range of concerns, such as:

• Relationships 鈥� rebuilding connection, resolving conflict, or deciding to move on.
  
• Work & career 鈥� stress, burnout, or finding direction.
  
• Life changes 鈥� becoming a parent, retirement, or other major transitions.
  
• Emotional wellbeing 鈥� anxiety, low mood, anger, or feeling isolated.
  

Many men, in particular, tell me they鈥檝e been 鈥済etting on with it鈥� for years before realising the strain has caught up with them. Talking openly, often for the first time, can be a powerful step toward change.

My approach

I integrate counselling (to explore the roots of difficulties) with coaching (to support practical steps forward). My style is calm, straightforward and supportive. Together, we鈥檒l:

• make sense of your situation;
  
• understand patterns keeping you stuck;
  
• develop tools to manage stress and emotions;
  
• clarify what you want from life and how to get there.
  

What to expect

I offer a 50-minute initial session (拢50) so you can see how it feels to work together. If you continue, we usually begin with six sessions, each 50 minutes, at the same time each week.

Reaching out can feel daunting, but you don鈥檛 have to face things alone. If this resonates with you, get in touch and let鈥檚 start the conversation.
