Mark Vahrmeyer

I am an experienced UKCP registered integrative psychotherapist offering psychotherapy sessions to both couples and individuals through my Brighton and Hove practice - Living at Choice.

I have a background of over 15 years experience in the fields of personal growth, therapy and applied psychology and have worked in a clinical capacity as both a counsellor and psychotherapist across a range of public and private settings including the NHS.  As well as running a private practice, I currently work as a psychotherapist as part of a multi-disciplinary team in palliative care for a hospice.

My experience includes working with clients affected by many different issues, some of which have been very personal and particular to that individual and others which are common to many of us at some point in our lives such as bereavement, relationship issues, depression, anxiety and anger management.  As a clinical psychotherapist I am trained to work with clients with short-term issues through to long-term complex work dealing with psychopathology.

My approach is based on working relationally, meaning I focus on establishing a safe and supportive alliance with my clients, before exploring how past and present patterns are influencing their choices, values, beliefs and relationships with others.

My training includes both academic and professional training in the fields of couple counselling and clinical psychotherapy obtained in Australia and the UK.
