Feeling lost and alone, I decided to give therapy with Mark a try. Living in a foreign country (Denmark) far from home, far from friends and from my wife, I felt that this was not the life I wanted. I was afraid of the future.

The days were hard to pass, going to bed was a relief and waking up a pain to do. To escape reality and soothe myself I got into obsessive compulsive physical behaviours that left little energy and time to do anything else. I masturbated several times a day.

Working or even planning something nice for myself became very hard, and I did not know how to change that.

I saw Mark about 20 times over the course of 6 months.

Communicating with Mark was easy. He is clever, competent, and knew where things were going. I always felt safe with him and could trust him completely. That was fundamental for following the steps he suggested to regain my health and even getting to know myself much better than before.

Based om my experience, I absolutely recommend him to others. Mark is very emphatic. In fact, I did recommend him to a friend of mine who was going through a rough time also.

As a gay man, I have been brought up in a society that tells me directly and indirectly that I am bad, wrong or less worthy because of my sexual orientation. Before starting therapy, I was experiencing an identity crisis. I was feeling disconnected, stuck and anxious about my relationship as well as other aspects of my life and needed to understand why.

Mark is very perceptive and has an acute awareness of what is happening for me at that moment. Both in the room in the present moment and outside of it.

He always offers me (at times brutal) honesty stemming from empathy and understanding. Mark also has a wicked sense of humour. There is a part of myself and my emotions that have been closed off due to my upbringing and other past experiences. Mark has allowed me to re-connect with and explore these emotions and discover the strength that lies within them. I feel very challenged and rewarded at the same time.

Mark offers presence, and from there acknowledges and sees me, along with what I am struggling with. He gives me a broader perspective and can guide me. All of which gives me clarity for a better state of mind. Therapy makes me feel more grounded and connected with myself.

For other people with issues around their sexual orientation, I recommend seeing Mark. Mark is very respectful and open minded. He creates an environment where I feel safe and seen so I can share my deepest thoughts and feelings. Through therapy with Mark, I have leant the importance of acknowledging and accepting my sexuality and how previous experiences have shaped different aspects of my life.

I have had both face-to-face and online sessions with Mark. Online sessions are very similar to a face-to-face session with added convenience and the calm of being in my own space, rather than having to come to Mark’s therapy offices.

Adam: Mark isn’t the right fit for everyone. I personally definitely recommend him, because he fits our needs as a couple’s therapist very well.

He effortlessly switches between a mix of deep therapy and then offering personalised, light-hearted engagement, which makes the session more comfortable and insightful as a whole.

I really like his style, he is very straight forward, and is also able to adjust his style depending on our needs.

I have never been to couples therapy before, and at first it was a little scary, just because it was something new, but the more sessions we have, the more I learn, and the more I look forward to the next one.

Patricia: I would recommend Mark to you as a couple’s therapist, simply because I am happy and grateful for the sessions my husband and I are having with Mark. I think any couple could potentially benefit from such a process.

My relationship with my husband had been on a downward spiral for a while, and we hit rock bottom before contacting Mark.

We needed help with improving our communication and becoming a good influence on each other’s lives.

Having Mark as our couple’s therapist definitely helped us understand the underlying dynamics in play between us, and Mark has offered us manageable tools in how to tackle our relationship with a fresh perspective.

On a personal note, it is not always easy to be confronted with some hard truths in therapy, but it is also helpful.

I think Mark has a friendly energy with a fierce style. Less distant than other professionals; Mark really engages. He feels like that close friend type who will hear the deeper truths, and then put them directly on the table.

A friend made referred me to Mark about 2 years ago. I have worked on and off with Mark since. Back then, there were some major life changing events happening, all at the same time, which made it difficult for me to cope with myself. I realized that I needed some professional help.

My therapy with Mark is all about looking at myself through lenses that Mark provides me with. I have looked at my narratives with new perspectives and learned a few new skills to see my life from.

For example, I am seeing how my romantic relationships have more to do with my family background than I realized.

Mark has a good grip of my issues, he is well prepared, and he can be brutally honest sometimes.

Since starting with Mark, the world is never quite the same again in a positive way.

I have referred him to other of my friends and professional network.

Our experience with Mark as our couple’s therapist began over 5 years ago. With the choices we had in made life, the pressures of a young family and demanding careers – we had spent too little time investing in making our relationship work.  As we grew individually and things around us changed, we needed help in ensuring that our relationship adapted to all these changes … and ultimately how to rediscover one another.

Mark’s support has been instrumental in guiding us to where our relationship is today.

Mark has been helping us at different points during the course of our relationship when we faced particularly difficult periods. Mark very quickly recognizes fundamental relationship patterns and he has an excellent ability to cut through the armour and the bull shit talking, facilitating what he sees in a direct and honest manner.

His guidance through the process of recognizing when negative patterns showed up is very clear. We appreciate his compassionate directness, emotional intelligence and straight-shooting honesty, all of which have helped us immeasurably.

Regarding recommending Mark, we provide 2 voices….

Stine: I highly recommend Mark as he has been a key element for us to navigate through tough periods, especially in situations when we had grown very far apart in our individual development journey. We had both considered divorce at some point and Mark played a big part in us finding each other again.

Peter:  When you your car needs fixing, you find the best mechanic. When you need an operation, you find the best surgeon. If you need help with your relationship, you make sure to find the best therapist. For our relationship, Mark was that person and I have no hesitation in personally recommending him to you.

I was referred by our second couple’s therapist to Mark as a couples therapist. My husband and I were struggling to communicate for years.  We held regular weekly sessions for about 6 months.

During my time with Mark, I discovered more about myself then with any other therapist. Mark helped me identify issues I was struggling with within values and boundaries in all my relationships. I found Mark’s approach to differ from the other couple’s therapists regarding getting to a more enlightened place far more quickly.

The pace at which he worked was faster than what I was used to, but the results came along with that, and I am grateful.

I highly recommend Mark to all who are dedicated to doing the work.

I have sought psychotherapy with Mark on and off for about 9 years.

I initially came to therapy as I had a depression. Whilst in therapy, a family member committed suicide. During these difficult times in my life, I describe Mark as a straightforward and razor-sharp psychotherapist, at the same time deeply compassionate and engaged.

I highly recommend Mark – he applies a wide and rich palette of therapy approaches, ranging from more classic psychotherapy to spiritual and ancestral engagements, from dream analysis to very hands-on and practical advice.

Before we started seeing Mark, we faced challenges in our marriage. These came from our communications, and the differences between us. We had these difficulties with us from our past, and then with our conflicts with one another. We were not that good at supporting, listening to and understanding each other. We started seeing Mark about 3 months ago, we are still doing the work, and we wish to give him our recommendation.

Mark is very trustworthy. He is direct and honest in his communication. Mark possesses a deep insight into the human psyche, and quickly saw the challenges we have, ones that previous couple’s counsellors didn’t pick up on at all. Mark is extremely engaged. He is well prepared for every session and put a lot of energy into the hours that we see him.

Mark’s questions are accurate and allow for an opportunity to reflect upon our own patterns of behaviour. He expects us to be engaged, and that we try out the methods and tools that he supplies us with. That’s really good, and there is “no rest for the wicked” in Mark’ sessions 😉

All the things that Mark sees around me and my partner’s challenges are correct, and he managed to spot them before we arrived at the crucial moment of therapy, where we opened up for that painful “area.” He is incredibly insightful and sees the taboos that we try to hide behind, or even aren’t ready to look at.

I firmly recommend Mark, he is the most skilled couples therapist we have met to date. He has assisted me in seeing a lot about myself, and my patterns, I beforehand was not aware of. I am able to reflect much more about why I behave as I do, which is the first step to changing the patterns one has created for one’s self.

I originally sought out Mark’s help after losing my mum. Her passing away was having a big impact on my life. I initially came for grief counselling, but with Mark’s guidance and support, I also dared to open up my anxiety, my critical over-thinking and finally my deep abandonment issues, all of which related to my childhood and early adult life.

What is substantially different about Mark as a psychotherapist is his ability to see beyond I what I choose to present in a session. He listens to what my convictions are about “oh, today I should talk about this-and-that with Mark” but then he asks me a few questions, and suddenly we are at a much deeper depth, like going behind the scenes at the theatre.

I had seen many a therapist over the years, to help me with the issues I mentioned earlier. This previous work, though, only taught me to “deal” with my problems by rationalizing them, and by packing my feelings far away. With other therapists, I felt I was not progressing, and I was sort of looping on the same topics. However, with Mark, I have come to learn to trust his instincts for picking up “what is in the room” and feel comfortable in him challenging me to take a deeper look at myself. In so doing, I have undertaken life changing work and self-development. The work in the therapy room has had such an impact on the relationships with my male partner, my sister, my dad and most importantly with my self.

In the 3 years I have been coming to see Mark, I have grown as a person in so many ways. I have become more in tune with my emotions, more self aware, more clear and grounded in who I am. This had a big impact on my journey through the grief of my Mum’s passing, and what has been the lowest moment in my life so far.

Mark has helped me acknowledge that life is not about how to be better, but instead how to reconnect with my true authentic self.

If you want to see a psychotherapist who is passionate about helping people to become their authentic self and is consistently there to guide you through that journey, then Mark is the person for you!

I had been thinking of starting therapy for several years. Primarily due to my irrational anxiety, but also because I knew I had some unprocessed childhood traumas. Mark was recommended to me through my network.

I then also chose to receive therapy online, and the consultations feel present, and genuine.

I experience Mark as honest, personal and very direct. I cannot run around corners with him, he sees right through me. Our consultations are challenging, but they are worth every bit. By bringing myself out of my comfort zone, I see that this is where I am really growing.

I have gone to other psychologists before and they only worked in a very isolated way with my anxiety and the particular situation in which it had arisen. With Mark, it’s different. I started therapy due to anxiety, but we also talk about the connection to other things that have affected me throughout my life.

I think Mark is good at helping me see my life in a bigger perspective.

I recommend Mark – on the condition that you want to work with yourself, in depth, where it really hurts and good at the same time.

If you are not ready for it, you better wait a little;)
