We came to Mark, each with broken marriages behind us

As a foreigner, living in Denmark, I felt lost and alone

We both struggled with addiction in our late 20’s

With two children and good jobs, we lost intimacy with each other

Being gay in a straight world is really challenging

★★★★★
I was born in Vietnam, and life in Denmark is so different

When I was 40, my mum died. My grief challenged my identity, as I had lost my anchor - my mum.

★★★★★
It took a motorbike accident to bring me to online therapy – oh, and the anxiety too!
“I had been thinking of starting therapy for several years. Primarily due to my irrational anxiety, but also because I knew I had some unprocessed childhood traumas. Mark was recommended to me through my network.” – Simone, age 28
★★★★★
Serious illness in my immediate family brought me to start therapy with Mark. I was sad, in shock and disoriented.
“I cannot recommend therapy with Mark enough. My own experience has been immensely rewarding, and I believe others would benefit just as much.” Erling, age 38
★★★★★
I had started therapy due to a mid-life depression, and then my bi-polar mother killed herself
“Whilst in therapy, a family member committed suicide. During these difficult times in my life, I describe Mark as a straightforward and razor-sharp psychotherapist, at the same time deeply compassionate and engaged.” S.P., age 52
★★★★★
A sense of midlife-crisis, lack of energy and lack of motivation. I have also been drinking more than I should
“I was referred to Mark by a friend of mine who has seen Mark over the years. I liked that Mark instantly established clear boundaries and confidentiality.” Brian, age 51
★★★★★
After just one year with my girlfriend, I thought her invite to couples therapy was a terrible idea.

About me
Psychotherapy for expats and international couples
I’m Mark Colclough, MA, a psychotherapist and EFT couples therapist in Copenhagen, practising since 2004. I specialise in expats and international couples, working in English and Danish. My bicultural background informs how I help you with emotional distress, relationship conflict and life between cultures.
Explore expat psychotherapy or expat couples therapy. My approach is grounded in empathy, emotional safety and collaboration. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level solutions. It is about creating the conditions for meaningful, lasting change — at a pace that respects you and your circumstances.
I offer a structured yet human space where difficult conversations can be explored safely, patterns can be understood clearly, and new ways of relating can emerge over time.
