About Marcus Pugh

Marcus Pugh is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings 12 years of professional experience to his counselling practice. He lists BACP as a professional credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictive behaviour, relationship difficulties, trauma, and abuse.

Marcus seeks to engage in an empathic, non-judgmental way, operating from the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives. His approach values listening and creating space for people to explore thoughts, feelings, and needs without pressure. Often his role is simply to listen and reflect back what emerges.

He also looks for strengths that clients can use to meet life challenges and supports them in discovering their own meaning and answers. When appropriate, Marcus offers observations, alternative perspectives, or practical suggestions to help move the work forward.

Marcus recognises that reaching out for support takes courage and that beginning therapy can be an important step toward change and self-discovery. He is really looking forward to working with you.
