Through a combination of talk therapy and bodywork techniques, Markus helped me address the underlying emotional distress that was contributing to the pain.

"My childhood was riddled with neglect and emotional abuse. As an adult, I struggled with crippling anxiety and an inability to form healthy attachments. Working with Markus was transformative. His knowledge of attachment theory and trauma-informed therapy techniques provided a much-needed framework for healing. He helped me understand the roots of my anxiety and taught me skills to regulate my emotions. More importantly, he fostered a sense of safety and compassion that allowed me to gradually rebuild trust in myself and others. Markus' expertise in complex trauma gave me the tools to navigate the long road of recovery. Today, I have a far more secure sense of self and am building healthy, supportive relationships for the first time in my life." - P. O'C.

"When I first met with Markus I was studying to complete an M.A.   I was under a lot of pressure at the time.   Over the course of my studies Markus was a tremendous support, helped me identify and build on my strengths and helped me deal with many personal issues.

His gentle, intuitive, supportive approach allowed me unravel many unconscious internal barriers I had constructed for survival.   These had become an impediment to my development and were no longer helpful.   No matter how much pressure I felt within myself  going into a session, I always left feeling enlightened, understood and accepted without judgement.    Throughout my experience I was treated with respect and dignity.   I felt valued as a person and as a consequence was able to put more value on myself."

Thanks"

 “I tried many therapies including counselling over the years without getting anywhere. When I came to see Markus in 2011, he helped me to sort myself out. It was a slow and difficult journey but I stuck to it.

I was abused as a child and found it difficult to trust anyone. I never really felt safe. Often I felt anxious and depressed, shut down, other times panicky.

Markus was sensitive and supportive. He helped me to make sense of my feelings and symptoms. I was able to overcome guilt and shame (almost). He was a beacon guiding me to myself.”
