Hi I'm Mark.
Hi I'm Mark.
I'm an experienced, professional counselor. I'm a member of ACA (Australian Counselling Association) and HKPCA (Hong Kong Professional Counselling Association).
Counseling is a confidential, guided conversation to help a person in emotional distress. I provide a safe space to help individuals manage anxiety, depression, grief and trauma and to assist couples in distress. When things are tough, it's good to talk!
My approach is person-centered, empathetic and non-judgmental.
I use evidenced-based therapies that have been thoroughly evaluated and shown to be effective. I am trained and experienced in CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, Problem-based, Solution-focused intervention, and when appropriate, Psycho-dynamic counselling, For couples counseling I am trained in the Gottman method.
I am based in Philippines and I'm available for online or in person counselling.
My fees are flexible and affordable.
Feel free to contact me, either directly or via the online contact form below.

Living abroad can be fulfilling and exhilarating but it may be tough on personal well-being.

Why 'BlueSky' Counseling? A 'Blue Sky' day is when we feel good and at peace with the world. Well-being comes from within. My counseling goal is that every day will be a 'Blue Sky' day, no matter what is going on 'out there'.

'Blue Sky' is also represents potential. I'm an optimist about human nature. In my experience people can learn how to modify and change behavior. One way to begin that process is to learn to observe our thoughts and actions 'from above'.

Person-centred
We are all unique. Counseling makes no assumptions about the other person. Counseling is a conversation seeking greater understanding. Self-awareness can open the door to modifications in behavior. Trying new action can lead to greater wellness.

Someone to talk to
We all need someone to talk to. Friends may be sympathetic but a professional Counselor will bring confidentiality, empathy, expertise and will not judge or make assumptions. We are all learning and counseling is a wonderful opportunity to reflect and change.
