About Mark Dalby
I have worked in NHS Child Mental Health Services for 20 years and with adults in private practice. As an individual, couples and family therapist, I am trained in providing family therapy supervision, have taught on the family therapy training course and have held leadership positions in the NHS. Before working in mental health services, I worked as a social worker with children and young people, a residential care worker with adults and an English teacher.
My therapeutic experiences have included supporting people with a variety of mental health difficulties. I can help with:
My therapeutic approach incorporates a broad range of systemic, social constructionist, narrative, solution-focused and evidence-based working methods. I am additionally trained in Attachment-Based Family Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and family therapy for anorexia and bulimia nervosa.
I aim to support the people I work with to make sense of the problems they are facing in the contexts of their histories, their current situations, and their relationships. I aim to pay particular attention to the different aspects of identity and how these inform people’s lived experiences. My approach is to develop a space in which people can feel safe enough to explore what is meaningful and significant for them, and work with them on their hopes, making changes and realising their goals.
