Welcome To Bloke Therapy
Let's face it, being human isn't easy.
We struggle, we get stuck and we experience internal conflict. Part of us wants to move towards what we want, and another wants to hold us back.
We believe that we alone are in this struggle, that it is only us experiencing this constant conflict and frustration.
That's simply not true.
We all face the same issues, fears, frustrations, and crippling procrastination and doubt. The fact is, what you are experiencing is NORMAL.
Totally 100% normal.
The problem is, it doesn't appear that way because most people are putting a 'brave face' on it and pretending everything is fine.
You probably do the same, and on the face of it, life should be good.
But that's not the story running through your head daily, the one that causes those feelings you know only too well.
Exhaustion. Overwhelm. Frustration. Anger. Despair.
Something has to change and it has to change now. Your life is running on autopilot and you don't like the direction it's taking you.
You're desperately trying to break the cycle but nothing seems to work. You find yourself repeating the same patterns.
You've had enough.
Enough of living on autopilot.
Enough of feeling exhausted.
Enough of stress and worry.
Enough of guilt and anxiety.
Enough of living at the edge of your potential.
You're ready to take back control of your mind and break free of the self-defeating thoughts & behaviours keeping you stuck.
If you'd like more peace of mind.
If you'd like to live with more purpose and power.
If you'd like to struggle less and achieve more, then we need to talk.

About Mark
I'm Mark Austin a coach and therapist originally from London but now living in the Canary Islands.
My life is not much different from yours. It's made of experiences.
Experiences in my past I've had to overcome.
Experiences in the present moment I need to deal with.
Experiences in the future I wish to create.
Like you, my life has not been without struggle.
I was raised in a home that was dominated by alcoholism. It was a stressful, and at times, scary environment but you adapt, you get through it and eventually I was old enough to leave home.
Having felt trapped for so long, freedom become my driver so it's no surprise that the life of an employee wasn't going to work for me.
So after a few years of working for others, I decided to go into business for myself and I've never looked back. Over the past 20+ years I created many businesses, products and services.
Each step towards what I wanted involved many battles with my own mind. Dealing with stress, anxiety & depression have all been part of the journey and I made it my mission to find the right people and tools to overcome the problems I faced.
Much of the time, I believed I must be the problem. It didn't appear that anyone else was struggling or as stuck as I found myself at times. I was so wrong about that.
This first became clear to me over a decade ago when my business at the time had 100's of resellers who despite their best intentions, struggled to take the actions needed to be successful.
Their lack of progress and inability to break free from what felt like an invisible force holding them back caused them severe distress.
When I spoke with them, it became clear the problems they were facing were not just showing up in their business. Their health, relationships and finances were also being severely impacted.
They were at the mercy of automatic thoughts, feelings and habits that they didn't know how to control
It was then I decided to embark on the professional coaching and therapy training that would allow me to be able to help people change that. The fact you are here reading this tells me something about you.
It tells me you desperately want to break free of the patterns that have been holding you back.
It tells me you want to feel, do and be better and I commend you for that.
Together we can quickly close the gap that separates you from where you are now and where you wish to be. I look forward to speaking with you soon and helping you on your journey.

Problems We Face
Stress & Anxiety
The pressure of your business, personal life and the outside world are taking their toll, leaving you in an almost constant state of stress & overwhelm. Together we'll identify the patterns causing your stree, and create a plan of action for you to quickly break the cycle.
Burnout
You've worked hard to get where you are, a bit too hard. At the time the sacrifices you had to make to succeed made sense and you were too busy to notice the cost. You used to be full of purpose and passion but now you feel bored and exhausted. It's time to get your life back and ensure you never experience burnout again.
Procrastination
Despite what you've been told, procrastination isn't a time management issue, it's a self-regulation issue. Our hidden beliefs drive the negative automatic thoughts & emotions that create our procrastinating behaviour. It's time to take back control of your mind so you can take action.
Low Mood
Sometimes in life things just feel off. You can't put your finger on what's wrong, you're just fed up, feel adrift and find it hard to be enthusiastic about work or life. Together we'll create a plan for you to 'get out of your mind and back into your life' asap so you can spend your days doing more of the things that matter to you most.
