Seeking Minds

I feel I owe so much to Mark. Having bounced from one therapist to the next as well as having tried the whole alphabet of anti depressants. It felt like for so long that that’s just how things were going to be and then I met Mark. He changed everything and I would not be the person I am if it wasn’t for all his help, guidance and understanding. I will never be able to thank him enough for what he has done for me.

I first met Mark from Seeking Minds when I was hospital with treatment resistant depression, a condition which ruled my life for 5 hellish years. I tried counselling and all manner of medications and treatments. Occasionally they briefly worked, but long term they were all ineffective. My psychiatrist recommended psychotherapy to help me identify any historical cause. That's when Mark came in. He has engaged various psychological techniques, including EMDR (rapid eye movement therapy), to guide, explore, and resolve aspects of my life. His professional approach has always been respectful, supportive, and compassionate. Mark has gently guided me through this last 12 months from a broken woman unable to function to being the mother and grandmother I wanted to be. I highly recommend Seeking Minds.

We are very lucky to have someone of Mark's background and experience working within our community. He is flexible, approachable and very accommodating when assistance is required urgently. Mark has an excellent manner with all age groups and his strategies and approaches are second to none. I highly recommend Mark. My son says, "Mark is an amazing person who is able to connect with me and teach me how to control my anxiety."

I cannot speak highly enough of Mark from Seeking Minds. His ability to connect with and support children, teens and adults makes him a fabulous and trusted therapist. Mark’s kind and gentle nature, coupled with his vast knowledge and experience in the field of mental health means you are in safe and supportive hands. Look no further than Seeking Minds.

Mark has done amazing work with my adolescent son, helping him process his feelings surrounding a family separation. Mark’s warmth and honesty created a safe atmosphere for my child and he worked to keep us as parents informed of the process whilst respecting my son’s privacy and supporting their client and practitioner relationship. Mark’s guidance, support and practical advice made a significant difference in my child’s overall demeanour. Mark’s availability and communication are both great which helps when you are worried about your child. He is an asset to the Macedon Ranges community and I highly recommend him in his role as a family and child psychotherapist.
