Why home visits suit Shaftesbury and north Dorset

Shaftesbury sits on its hilltop surrounded by beautiful but spread-out countryside. For a lot of people round here, getting to a therapist means a long drive, and with patchy buses, that’s hard if you don’t drive or don’t feel up to it.

Home visits remove that barrier completely. I make the journey, so you don’t have to, and we meet somewhere you already feel safe. It’s often the difference between getting support now and putting it off for months.

Kind words from people I’ve worked with

Was great having Mark come to my home. It helped a lot to have control and feel a lot better in my mind. Mark’s a very calm person and I felt safe with the help. He has a very understanding nature.

Andrew

Was sceptical at first, but as soon as I started to relax and embrace the situation it really worked! Wish I’d done something sooner.

Eli

Mark exceeded all my expectations and was brilliant in the way he encouraged me to communicate, and with considerable care and thought addressed the issues I raised.

Questions from people in Shaftesbury

Do you cover the villages around Shaftesbury?

Yes. As well as the town and Enmore Green, I visit Cann, Motcombe, Melbury Abbas, Compton Abbas, Fontmell Magna, East and West Stour, Stour Row, Ludwell and Donhead St Andrew.

How far out of Shaftesbury do you travel?

I cover the town and the villages listed above, and I’m happy to talk about places a little further out. If you’re not sure whether I can reach you, just ask on your free first chat.

Can I have counselling and hypnotherapy together?

Yes, and many people do. Counselling helps you understand what’s going on, and hypnotherapy helps create change at a deeper level. We’ll agree the right mix for you and adjust as we go.

What if I’m not sure therapy is for me?

That’s completely normal. Plenty of my clients were sceptical at first. The free first chat is a chance to ask questions and see how it feels, with no pressure to book anything.

Need help urgently?

I’m not an emergency service. If you’re in crisis, call 999 or go to A&E at Salisbury District Hospital. You can also call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option, or Samaritans free on 116 123, day or night.

Whenever you’re ready, I’m here

Call or text me for a free, no-pressure chat, or drop me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
