About

Mark Clarke, counsellor.

I'm a person-centred counsellor and I run The Great Thriving, a UK-registered private practice working online with English-speaking clients. My clients are gay and bisexual men, often men who are highly capable in every other part of life and have nowhere to put the rest of it.

I set it up because the counselling gay and bisexual men most often need — unhurried, understanding, and willing to talk about difficult things — is difficult to find without a limit on it, a waiting list in front of it, or a new counsellor halfway through.

I work person-centred. That means you set the direction of each session rather than a fixed treatment plan, and I make no assumption about what you ought to conclude. It is slow, collaborative work, and there is room in it for humour.

You can read the full list of services and fees, see what clients say about the work, or book a free 30-minute intro call. There is more on the method itself on the approach page.
