Marcos Frangos

Marcos Frangos is a Holistic counsellor - family constellations, working with individuals, couples and groups (constellation workshops), and is an accredited counsellor with The National Counselling Society

During his work as a person-centred counsellor Marcos became aware that talking-based therapies, whilst sometimes really effective, can lead to recycling of old patterns. Marcos will encourage you to explore the root-cause of issues, and uses a somatic approach (i.e. using our bodies) and their wisdom and intelligence. Ten years ago Marcos trained in facilitating an approach using family constellations.

More about Marcos’ approach: Marcos is passionate about a whole-person approach to understanding our life and context. We can’t be viewed in isolation, we’re influenced by many systems of belonging: our family of origin, our work, our cultural beliefs, spiritual or religious backgrounds, our ancestry, past traumas and more.

Marcos helps clients understand the significance of these contexts and relationships, exploring with you where unconscious loyalties and dynamics might be holding you back. The purpose is one of integration and become freer to make conscious choices.

Marcos trained for two years as a facilitator of family & organisational constellations, in Oxford with Core Constellations, Theory & Practice.

Patient Testimonials

"Working with Marcos helped me to process and move on from a difficult time in my life and into a new and brighter future. His manner is warm and sensitive and, because I felt safe, I found it easy to talk and share (even on Zoom). Constellating my feelings created a real breakthrough and I came away from each session feeling clearer and positive."

"My sessions with Marcos were very special, I always looked forward to them. He holds sacred space for you magnificently, never rushing, just allowing what is deep inside you to come forth. The sessions felt so nurturing in the blur of my days when I am giving out all the time to others.

He taught me to love myself more and to make time for that. Marcos is very skilled in techniques that truly allow old behaviours or even ancestral patterns to be released so they stop getting in our way of our happiness. Our sessions have even benefited my work, as I feel I express that with even more love and equally receive more back from people.

Marcos works with exquisite sensitivity but a great deal of skill, and was able to find just what I needed to allow me to have a happier life. Highly recommended!'.

"My Constellations-counselling took place during lockdown, and although I was not able to meet Marcos in person, I greatly benefited from these sessions. Marcos is very professional in the way that he conducts his sessions. He helped me walk a difficult path and he did it with integrity and always showing attentiveness. After each session, Marcos provided me with a written summary, which gave me the opportunity to reflect on my discussions and see my personal growth after a block of sessions. This was very helpful and it was good to have something ‘tangible’. I highly recommend Marcos."

"I signed up for the winter MOT as I felt I needed some nutritional support from Ruth Taylor in particular, and was interested to find out what a constellation consultation from Marcos Frangos would entail.
The nutritional consultation with Ruth was excellent. I felt she was thorough, empathetic and she understood what was going on. Having implemented her advice immediately I have felt the benefits and in particular lost my sugar cravings, which was an added problem for me.
The consultation with Marcos was amazing. He created a very safe and compassionate space in which I was able to express and explore some deep feelings and emotions. I hadn’t known what to expect, but found it healing and also very liberating. I would definitely go back to Marcos if I felt there was something more to explore. "

"Marcos offered a safe space and skilfully guided me, with wise encouragement, to find a missing piece. Much appreciated.'

"Constellations make me think of the stars and speak of many possibilities including light, harmony, alignment, patterns, systems, eternity, elder wisdom and the future. Constellation counselling provided an opportunity to explore these many possibilities within my own life, and make meaning of what obviously, and not so obviously, was impacting my inner world which was expressing itself in my life experiences. Marcos provided a deeply sacred, non-judgemental and safe space which supported my journey from unbearable grief, loss and chaos to calm. I would highly recommend him as a Fellow Traveller in troubled times."

“I hadn’t realised the power of even just being heard until I met Marcos. He provided a deeply compassionate space in which I could meet my shadow self. Marcos illuminated that which was hidden from my perception with his gentle and wise inquiry. It was both healing and revelatory at the same time …. for which I am very grateful"

"I sought Marcos in a period of my life when I felt quite lost, going through a crisis of identity and purpose. Having had therapy many times before, I was looking for someone with experience and a different approach to help me understand my narrative and suffering in a new way. In Marcos, I found someone that knows how to listen at a very deep level, someone that is in tune and attuned to trauma survival, to being human, that is tremendously intuitive and with an extraordinary ability to reorient and reframe one’s story. Marcos is a therapist that helped me finding a kinder language, a more compassionate foundation within myself so I could relate to myriad facets of my experiences with fairness and acknowledgement of my strengths. Marcos helped me to love better and more fully, even the aspects I kept repressed. Thank you, Marcos, for touching my life so beautifully." Patricia.

‘I found Marcos to be a gentle, attentive, non-judgemental and wise counsellor during a very challenging period of my life. I learnt that I do not have to soldier on alone. He met me just where I needed to be received and understood, in a safe space, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. His support undoubtedly helped me regain a personal sense of harmony, meaning and purpose following significant losses for which I will be eternally grateful. Thank you Marcos for being such a wonderful fellow traveller on my journey of life.’

“I have just completed 12 months' of counselling with Marcos and can't recommend him highly enough. Finding myself in an extremely dark place, for the first time in my life, I reached out for help. Initially I was sceptical, but what followed was the most wonderful (at times challenging) journey of self-discovery, that I wish I had begun many years earlier. Thank you Marcos.”
