A Confidential Space
Somewhere private and unhurried where you can say what you actually think.

How We Can Help
Marking Therapy is an inclusive, affirming practice for people of every background, ethnicity, culture, faith, gender, sexuality and relationship style. The name you go by and your pronouns are used from first contact, and you will not be asked to explain or justify who you are in order to be taken seriously. Race, faith, culture, disability and neurodivergence are met in exactly the same way.
Sessions are for adults aged 18 and over.
Counselling / Therapy
Individual or couples work. People come with anxiety, low mood and depression, trauma, bereavement, communication difficulties, identity, and questions of gender, sexuality and relationship diversity. Sessions are 45 minutes, or a full hour for couples.
Online Counselling / Therapy
Secure video or telephone sessions, wherever you are in the world. The same 45-minute session without the travel, which helps if you are working, caring for someone, or simply more comfortable at home.
Civil, Commercial and Community Mediation
Civil, commercial and community disputes mediated confidentially, without going to court. A neutral space in which to reach a workable agreement. Mediation is quoted individually.
Supervision for Counsellors
Clinical supervision for qualified and trainee therapists, using the Cyclical Model of Supervision. A containing space for ethical practice, professional growth and good client care.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy to help relieve anxiety, aid sleep and build confidence, and to support change in a habit. A calm, focused approach that can be used on its own or alongside talking therapy.
Fees, in plain figures
There is no registration fee and no charge for a first enquiry. Every new client begins with the 45-minute Initial Consultation at £75, which is required before a full session can be booked.
Sessions start on the hour, for example 10:00 to 10:45, with a short gap before the next appointment. Fees for civil, commercial and community mediation are set out on the fees page, with fixed fees for disputes under £50,000.
