About Mark

Mark Dexter is a counsellor with eight years of experience based in the United Kingdom.

He believes clients know their own story and brings a respectful, practical approach to help them move forward.

He focuses on building a supportive relationship first. Sessions are conversational and down to earth. He helps people identify what matters to them and notices patterns that keep problems going, then tries small, manageable changes in thinking and behaviour.

Background and approach

Mark often uses ideas from cognitive behavioural thinking to challenge unhelpful thoughts. He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values, and he uses attachment concepts to improve how people relate to others. These methods are explained clearly and used in ways that feel relevant to everyday life.

People come for help with a wide range of concerns including relationships, addiction, grief, sleeping and eating problems, parenting strain, anger and work stress. He also supports those facing identity issues such as LGBT concerns and people managing mood conditions, including depression and bipolar experiences.

He accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on living by their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and issues where motivation feels blocked. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviours and offers practical tools to change them, which often helps with anxiety, sleeping and eating problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on a person’s goals and preferences. This means trying different tools and adapting methods so they fit everyday life and feel achievable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check‑ins and text messaging suits brief or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or care commitments and allow people to try different formats to see what works best.
