FAQ: Psychotherapy in Copenhagen

What is psychotherapy or personal therapy?

Individual psychotherapy or personal therapy is a professional process aimed at understanding and improving both of your emotional and psychological well-being.

Through regular, confidential sessions, you will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to gain deeper self-awareness.

I use evidence-based approaches and therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs.

By fostering trust, empathy, and open communication, personal psychotherapy will help you develop healthier coping strategies with yourself, your past and present relationships.

Over time, this supportive environment will lead to lasting personal growth, inner resilience, and greater life satisfaction.

All evidence shows that it is your relationship to your self and others around you that holds the healing potential in psychotherapy.

Further to that, it is the authentic connection and dialogue between you and I that sets the tone for a lasting change. In the therapy room we create a space where you can show up fully – exactly as you are.

Because each therapy session is tailored to your needs, one else can walk the path for you.

As your psychotherapist, I walk alongside you, helping you discover new possibilities, deepen your self-awareness, and recognize the resources you already hold within.

Regardless of the title, whenever only the best trained and expertly experienced psychotherapist is good enough, and you feel your personal growth deserves qualified assistance. 

We can start with a 15 minute phone call, or you are welcome to go straight ahead and book your session. Both take place in my online booking calendar listed on this page.

I offer fully bilingual and bicultural expat couples therapy as well as personal psychotherapy.

Born and raised in London, my family relocated to Denmark when I was a teenager.

Since, I have been schooled and trained in Denmark and England. I have lived in 9 different countries across 4 continents.

How to tell if I am the right psychotherapist for you?

Choosing the psychotherapist is an important step in your journey toward a stronger relationship. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you will be heard and respected.

My approach is collaborative, and I work with you to address your unique concerns and goals. If you’re looking for someone who will guide you through conflict, strengthen communication, and help you reconnect, we may be a great fit.

Let’s explore whether my style and expertise align with what you both need for growth and healing.

Is there a right time, or reason, to start therapy?

There’s no right time or single reason to start therapy – it’s about recognizing when you want support or clarity in your life.

Therapy can help during periods of stress, conflict, or emotional pain, but it’s also valuable for self-discovery and growth. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, relationship challenge, or seeking greater balance, therapy provides a space for reflection and healing.

It’s never too early or too late to prioritize your well-being and mental health.

100% money back guarantee

Your satisfaction and comfort are my top priorities to ensure you feel safe and supported in our work together.

About halfway through your first session, I will check in with you. If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with my approach and do not feel we are making progress, I will offer you a full refund of your initial payment – with no questions asked and no conditions.

It is essential that you feel confident and comfortable moving forward, and if we are not the right fit, I want to ensure you feel supported in your decision.

Still in doubt?

If you have doubts about individual psychotherapy / personal therapy, including whether it’s the right step for you, it’s important to ask questions and explore your concerns.

You can book a free 15 minute call with me for an initial consultation to discuss what you’re feeling and what you hope to achieve.

This conversation will help clarify how therapy can benefit you and ensure that you’re comfortable with the process.

Taking that first step to inquire can help guide you toward the care and support you need, when you need it most.

Common statements I hear as a psychotherapist:

If so, individual psychotherapy with Mark Colclough M.A. could be a good idea:

The therapeutic journey

The therapeutic journey is a process of self-exploration and healing, where you work with me to address emotional challenges and uncover deeper insights.

It is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and explore the layers of your inner world in a safe and supportive space.

This process involves developing coping strategies to navigate life’s difficulties, confronting past traumas that may be influencing your present, and gaining greater self-awareness. It is not simply about addressing problems but about discovering your inner resources and learning to thrive.

While the path may be challenging at times, it is through these challenges that you foster growth, build resilience, and find emotional balance. Each moment of vulnerability becomes an opportunity for profound transformation and empowerment.

Therapy is a collaborative experience, tailored to your unique needs and goals. Together, we take each step at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable, ultimately helping you achieve a healthier, more fulfilled life with a deeper connection to yourself and those around you.

Breakdown or break-through?

Sometimes, what we perceive as a breakdown is, in reality, the beginning of a profound breakthrough.

In moments of deep emotional struggle, when everything feels like it is falling apart, it is easy to believe that we are at a dead end. However, these moments are often the very ones that make way for the most significant growth.

The discomfort we feel is not a sign of failure, but a signal that something old is being released—something that no longer serves us. As we process and heal, we create space for new perspectives, deeper understanding, and lasting change.

It can be hard to see in the moment, but breakdowns often happen right before our breakthroughs.

Embrace the vulnerability, and trust that every step, no matter how small, is moving you toward the person you are meant to become. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. There is always support as you walk through the discomfort and emerge stronger on the other side.

I don’t have much time, or money

If you have a specific timeline in mind, we can work together to create a schedule that aligns with your goals.

While deep, lasting change takes time, having a clear plan can help structure your sessions and focus on the outcomes you wish to achieve.

As your psychotherapist I will guide you through this journey, balancing meaningful progress with the time and financial constraints you might have, ensuring a process that works for your needs.

Is online therapy a good idea?

Online therapy brings the support you need directly to your location, offering flexibility and convenience without sacrificing connection or effectiveness.

From the comfort of your own space, you can explore your relationship dynamics, improve communication, and address challenges with my tailored guidance.

Online sessions are just as personal and impactful as in-person sessions are, providing tools and strategies tailored to your unique needs.

No matter where you are, online therapy makes it easier to prioritize your personal well-being and individual growth.

White-knuckling your way through life?

Life shouldn’t feel like a constant struggle to just get by. When you’re white-knuckling, you’re holding on so tightly that there’s no room for peace, joy, or connection.

Relational counselling offers a safe space to release that tension, explore what’s driving the overwhelm, and develop healthier ways to cope.

You don’t have to go through life bracing yourself for the next storm—together, we can help you find balance and breathe a little easier.

Pain has a great way of getting your attention

Pain often signals that something in your life needs care and attention.

Whether it shows up as emotional distress, relationship conflicts, or self-defeating patterns, pain can guide you toward healing and growth.

Psychotherapy helps you uncover the deeper meaning behind your pain and equips you with tools to move forward with strength and resilience.

The fastest way is slow

“The fastest way is slow” reminds us that meaningful growth takes time and patience.

While working alone might feel quicker, true progress comes from collaboration: alone you will go fast, but together we will go far.

Therapy is a partnership, combining your commitment and my guidance to create lasting transformation.

By embracing the process, we can achieve deeper, more sustainable results that honor your life’s journey.

When is therapy complete?

Feeling “done” or “complete” in therapy is a decision that only you can make.

It happens when you feel ready and confident to move forward independently, equipped with the insights and tools gained during our sessions.

The decision is yours, and I will be here to guide and support you through this important step, ensuring it’s the right time for you to transition.

Together, we’ll reflect on your progress and what feels right for your journey.

Is there a breakdown of trust? An affair, lies and conflicts? 

Infidelity can feel like the ultimate betrayal, shaking the very foundation of your relationship.

But while the road ahead may seem uncertain, healing and rebuilding trust are possible—with the right support.

Couples therapy provides a safe and nonjudgmental space to:

  • Understand what led to the betrayal.
  • Process the hurt, anger, and confusion both partners may feel.
  • Rebuild trust and create a stronger emotional connection.
  • Decide, together, what the future of your relationship looks like.

Healing after infidelity is a journey, but you do not have to navigate it alone. With patience, honesty, and guidance, many couples not only recover but come out stronger than before.

If you are  ready to begin this process, I am here to help.

Has the connection and intimacy gone?

It can be difficult when you feel like you’re the only one longing for the connection that once existed.

In therapy, we can explore the underlying reasons for this disconnect and help both partners understand each other’s needs. It’s not uncommon for one person to feel this way, and through open communication and guidance, we can work together to rekindle that intimacy and warmth.

Whether your partner is ready to engage or not, therapy can provide clarity and support for navigating these feelings and finding a path forward.

We create the process together

Every relationship in therapy, and each session, is unique. So is your path to healing and growth. In our sessions, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we’ll design a process that fits your needs, your story, and your goals.

I’ll guide you with care and expertise, but you’re always in control of the journey. Whether it’s improving communication, rebuilding trust, or navigating life’s challenges, we’ll work as a team to create a process that feels right for you.

Who benefits from going to psychotherapy?

You can benefit from psychotherapy if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or addictive patterns, therapy offers a space to explore your feelings and create meaningful change.

It is for anyone ready to understand themselves better and live with greater clarity and balance.

What is a psychotherapist?

As a psychotherapist I am a trained professional who helps individuals, couples, and families address emotional and psychological challenges.

Psychotherapist or psychologist?

A psychotherapist is a broad term for a professional trained in various forms of therapy to address emotional and psychological issues. While psychologists often hold a doctoral degree in psychology and conduct research, testing, and assessment, psychotherapists may come from diverse educational backgrounds such as social work, counseling, or marriage and family therapy.

Psychologists can also provide psychotherapy, but their training often includes a strong emphasis on clinical assessment and diagnostic skills.

Psychotherapists focus primarily on providing a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

Ultimately, the choice between a psychotherapist and a psychologist may depend on your goals, the nature of your concerns, and the type of support you feel most comfortable with.

Can I bring my partner to therapy?

Yes, many people choose to bring their partner to therapy sessions. Couples therapy offers a structured environment where both of you can share your experiences, enhance communication, and work together toward mutual understanding.

By participating jointly, you both gain insight into the dynamics of the relationship and learn tools for resolving conflicts. Your therapist will guide the conversation, ensuring both partners feel heard and respected.

Ultimately, bringing your partner can help strengthen your bond, foster empathy, and promote healthier patterns of relating.

Can we talk with Mark outside sessions?

Generally, the therapy process is contained within scheduled sessions to maintain clear boundaries and ensure focused, productive work. While brief communication may be possible between sessions—for example, to reschedule an appointment—extended discussions or therapeutic work usually occur only during the allotted time. This helps preserve the integrity of the therapeutic relationship and prevents confusion about roles and expectations.

If urgent matters arise outside session hours, we can discuss options, such as emergency contacts or additional appointments, to ensure you receive appropriate support.

Ultimately, maintaining professional boundaries helps create a stable, reliable framework for your personal growth and healing.

What does life after psychotherapy look like?

Therapy is your space – your time to be heard, understood, and supported. I walk alongside you on this journey, tailoring the process to your unique needs and goals.

But let us be honest: growth does not happen without a little challenge. While I work for you, I am not here to simply agree with everything. I will gently push back when needed, helping you see new perspectives, challenge old patterns, and step outside your comfort zone.

Together, we will create a balance of support and accountability to help you make meaningful changes and build the relationship you truly want.

Your daily life will change

Internally, you may notice a shift in how you perceive and process your feelings. Instead of being overwhelmed or controlled by emotions, you develop the ability to sit with them, understand them, and respond in ways that align with your deeper values. Feelings that once felt unbearable, like fear, anger, or sadness, may now serve as guides rather than obstacles. This emotional clarity fosters a sense of inner peace and stability, even in the face of life’s inevitable challenges.

Your thoughts may also transform, becoming more compassionate, balanced, and aligned with your true self. Where there may once have been harsh self-criticism or unhelpful patterns of thinking, you’ll develop the tools to challenge and reshape these thoughts.

Therapy often opens a pathway to self-reflection, enabling you to identify limiting beliefs and replace them with narratives that encourage growth and self-acceptance. Over time, your inner dialogue can shift from judgmental or fear-driven to supportive and understanding, creating a fertile space for positive self-perception and self-worth.

Respect and understanding

As you gain this deeper connection to yourself, you may notice profound changes in how you manifest in the world. Therapy equips you with the confidence to express your needs, set boundaries, and pursue what genuinely matters to you. Your dreams and goals might become clearer, fueled by a sense of purpose and aligned with your authentic self.

You may find yourself no longer held back by old fears but instead guided by courage and curiosity. In your interactions, the self-awareness cultivated in therapy can help you foster deeper, more meaningful relationships, as you bring your true self into every connection. Ultimately, life after therapy is not just about feeling better; it is about living more fully, with clarity, purpose, and the ability to create a life that reflects who you truly are.

By breaking old cycles, you can create lasting change, not only for yourself but for those around you.

Your growth and transformation have a ripple effect, inspiring and influencing the people in your life to also reflect, grow, and connect more deeply. Successful therapy empowers you to build a foundation of resilience and authenticity, ensuring that the changes you make are sustainable and enriching. In this way, therapy not only improves your life but also contributes to a healthier and more balanced environment for those you care about.
