Background and approach
Sessions often include short exercises and recordings to use between meetings. These tools are meant to support progress outside appointment time and make therapy more effective. Mark draws on approaches that emphasise values, relationships and present-moment awareness.
He offers straightforward ways to face difficult emotions and to work through patterns that cause pain. The tone in sessions is calm and encouraging, with an eye on small, manageable steps. People come for help with a wide range of issues including grief, anger, addictions and self-esteem.
He also works with concerns such as attachment issues, codependency, chronic pain and fatherhood matters. Conversations cover both practical coping strategies and understanding the patterns behind reactions. Mark accepts clients from the UK and internationally and runs sessions using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
He supports people who want a clearer sense of direction, stronger coping skills and more resilience day to day.

How these approaches work online
Mark uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, then act in line with what matters most. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood because it focuses on values and small steps rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and reactions. This can help when dealing with abandonment worries, commitment issues or recurring relationship problems by making those patterns easier to recognise and change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and tailor methods to the client's goals, needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full conversational session while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, quick exercises or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, travel or a busy home life.
