About Mark
Mark Byatt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on anxiety and related concerns. He has 10 years of experience and holds BACP registration, and he aims to offer a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed. He listens closely and works to make conversations straightforward and focused on the issues that matter to each person.
He uses methods drawn from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, and existential thinking to suit different needs.
Background and approach
Sessions usually involve talking through current difficulties, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying practical ways to cope. Conversations are grounded and direct rather than full of jargon. Mark has worked in both independent practice and with charities during his career.
That background means he is used to a wide range of concerns such as stress, trauma, addiction, relationship and parenting strains, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with life changes, career stress, and long-term conditions like bipolar and ADHD. He offers a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can take the first careful steps towards change.
If requested, he can integrate Biblical counselling into sessions as an optional element. His aim is to help people build clearer thinking and practical coping skills they can use between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
He works with a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and adapts the format to what fits each person best.
Using therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a trusting conversation where the person's own goals guide sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for low self-esteem, relationship worries, and general life stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small practical changes, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression and coping with change.
Existential Therapy encourages people to talk about meaning, responsibility and the values that matter to them. It can help when someone feels stuck, empty, or unsure about life direction.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself. The counsellor will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals and preferences. Early sessions focus on what the client wants to change and which ways of working feel most useful.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; chat and messaging suit quicker check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel and to keep contact between appointments.
