About Marc
Marc Dalal is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction and major life changes. He works in English and practices from the United Kingdom.
Marc believes people know themselves best, yet timely help can make a real difference. He aims to offer a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters most. He encourages small, concrete steps to reduce overwhelm and regain a sense of control.
Background and approach
His practice draws on Narrative approaches that help people separate their problems from their identity. That can make issues feel less defining and open new ways to move forward. He also uses Client-Centred methods that place the client's perspective at the heart of sessions.
Marc combines these with Existential and Jungian ideas to explore meaning, values and deeper life patterns. Solution-Focused techniques are used when people want focused change and practical strategies. Sessions are adapted to the person rather than following a single formula.
He works with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting stresses, intimacy issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Marc aims to help people feel understood and to build achievable steps toward change. Reaching out is often the first brave step, and he seeks to make that step easier for each person.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Marc directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Marc's approaches fit with online therapy
Marc uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe their life stories, separating problems from who they are. This approach can be useful for relationship troubles, feelings of emptiness, identity questions and long-standing patterns. Client-Centred Therapy forms another strand of his practice, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where the client's perspective guides the work and self-understanding grows.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Marc will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. He adapts techniques from different approaches so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single style.
Online formats make this collaborative process flexible. Video calls give a near face-to-face experience for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when a lower bandwidth or not being on camera helps, while live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and make regular contact more achievable.
