Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify what isn’t working, try small changes and build coping skills that fit day-to-day life. He has worked across mental health, safeguarding and residential care settings. This background means he is familiar with crisis situations, long-term trauma and complex family dynamics.
He has collaborated with GPs, hospitals, schools and other support services when people needed joined-up care. Mark offers a mix of short and long-term counselling and tailors the pace to each person. Evening appointments are common and he can adapt session length to match need.
He provides face-to-face, walking therapy, video calls, telephone sessions and instant messaging options. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and are aimed at adults dealing with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and trauma.
How Mark’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions that matter to the client. It helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and practise committed steps towards what they care about, which can be useful for anxiety and low mood.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses simple experiments to test unhelpful patterns. It is practical for problems like anxiety, sleep disruption and stress.
Attachment-Based ideas pay attention to how past relationships affect current trust and intimacy. This approach can help when relationship patterns or early wounds influence present coping.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try different ways of working and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods suit their needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, telephone, live chat and text messaging, which give flexible ways to keep therapy going. Video works well for face-to-face style talks, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or shorter support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while still using the same therapeutic approaches offered in person.
