......UPDATES AUG 2025......
MARK has closed his MENTAL HEALTH CARE PLAN counseling service.
NEWS Sep 2025.
I would like to thank all of my past and current GP referred clients for having faith in my counselling approach and personal style in bringing about improvement in your mental health. I hope I have taught you how to WISELY manage your thoughts(wise mind training pun intended :), feelings and behaviours as they arise.
Those who know me also know one of the reasons why I am one of the best counsellors around is my truthfulness about my own battles and how to overcome and face them along with a no bullshit approach in helping you.
I have been in this role as an Mental Health Social Worker, trauma therapist since 2007 serving the Bendigo community. There comes a time though in this occupation that counsellors and therapists find they too hit the wall! or find that they can no longer perform at the highest level possible for everyone and themself.
It has been no secret that I was always returning to my universal healing ways. Whilst I will no longer be taking formal referrals an accredited AASW therapist, I will be here for the community as a healer and guide.
I will update my facebook page as needed.
