About Mark
Mark Dexter uses evidence-informed counselling approaches to help people manage tough moments and make practical change. He keeps sessions straightforward and focuses on what a person wants to achieve. Mark invites clients to use their own strengths while exploring ways to cope with stress, anxiety and low mood.
He has eight years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and issues with self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
He also helps people facing career changes, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, and challenges with sleep or eating. Mark works from a person-focused perspective that treats the client as the expert in their own life. He listens for a person’s priorities and helps them build practical steps toward those goals.
Sessions are aims-led and paced to suit each individual. Therapeutic methods he uses include cognitive behavioural ideas for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, acceptance and commitment techniques to clarify values, and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy for managing intense emotions. Attachment-informed thinking helps when relationship patterns feel stuck.
People can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Mark offers coaching-style direction where useful and a calm presence when people want to talk things through. He supports adjustments as life changes so therapy stays relevant over time.

How these therapeutic approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; this is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based ideas explore relationship patterns formed over time and help people notice and change ways of relating that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and together you'll decide what suits your needs and goals. That collaborative process means the style of sessions can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or having a camera on is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options help fit therapy into work, travel or family life and make regular contact easier to maintain.
