Marc Dalal, BACP

Marc Dalal helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and trauma. He also supports those facing career changes, grief, addiction concerns and challenges around intimacy. Parents and individuals dealing with family problems, anger, self-esteem or neurodiversity-related issues can bring their concerns to him. Marc holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, and has eight years of professional experience.

Marc uses a straightforward, listening-first style. He aims to make sessions feel calm and practical. Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of him, and on steps that can be taken between meetings.

He draws on several approaches to shape the work. Client-Centred Therapy helps him follow the client’s pace and priorities. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and find different, more helpful ways to understand events.

Marc also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, achievable changes that add up. Existential and Jungian ideas may appear when people want to examine meaning, identity or deeper patterns in their lives.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. People who choose Marc begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to his availability. He works in the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English.

Approach and availability in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and creating space for them to speak without judgement; it helps when someone needs a steady, empathic listener to make sense of feelings. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps identify alternative meanings and possibilities when a person feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how a method feels in practice, then adapt the style to fit the client’s needs. This is a collaborative process where the person’s experiences guide which approaches are used.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed, and text-based options suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats help fit sessions around work, caregiving and everyday life while keeping the focus on progress and accessibility.
