Marc Roper
Counselling for Couples
Relationships can feel like a maze—especially when communication breaks down or the spark that once brought two people together feels distant. Marc provides a safe space for couples to share openly, rebuild understanding, and rediscover the essence of their connection.
Supporting Men of All Ages
Marc has a special commitment to supporting men—young men finding their place in the world, husbands and fathers balancing life’s pressures, and older men seeking purpose and peace in later chapters of life. He role models strength, vulnerability, and resilience, helping men step into the lives they truly want to lead.
Guiding Young Men Toward Their Future
For young men, Marc offers encouragement, guidance, and practical support to prepare for the road ahead. He helps them grow into confident, grounded individuals—even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.
Navigating Life’s Challenges
From workplace stress and conflict, to health concerns, friendship struggles, or the growing challenge of poor mental health in today’s world, Marc helps clients find clarity and resilience.
A Commitment to Crisis Support
Every week, Marc volunteers his time on the phones with Lifeline, supporting people in crisis and those experiencing suicidal thoughts. He is deeply committed to the belief that no life should be lost to suicide—any day, any time.
