MARK AITCHSON

Integrative Therapist

After recovering from years of addiction, Mark managed to stop taking drugs and turned his life around and begun to enjoy what it had to offer. 

​

Mark was fortunate enough to have had a lot of support and in turn wanted to offer the same help to other people.

​

Mark became a volunteer drug and alcohol mentor and worked with young adults offering his experience and guidance. He also volunteered,  offering a telephone befriending service to the elderly many of whom did not have regular contact with people. Mark then decided to use the skills he had learned to become a counsellor.

​

Mark trained in psychodynamic and integrative counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

​

Mark has worked for drug and alcohol treatment organisations, and for the mental health charity MIND working with people living with a range of challenging issues and conditions.

​

Mark works with people from all walks of life taking a supportive relational approach with warmth and compassion.
