About Mark
Mark Byatt is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, depression and relationship concerns.
He keeps sessions straightforward and direct. He listens and helps people name what is worrying them. He likes to focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Mark uses client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person’s experience. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. Existential ideas are used when people want to talk about meaning, choice and life changes.
His background includes work in private practice and roles for charitable organisations. He has supported people with addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger, career transitions, ADHD and long-term health concerns among other issues.
Sessions can include discussion of faith when a client asks for Biblical counselling, and he notes that this is integrated only on request. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then booking a first session.
How Mark’s approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what the person brings to the session. The therapist listens without directing and reflects back what is said to help people feel understood and clarify their own thoughts and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try new actions, which can suit anxiety, stress and low mood. Existential Therapy encourages people to discuss meaning, responsibility and life choices. It can help when someone is facing significant change, questions about purpose or recurrent feelings of emptiness. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide what fits best, adapting focus as needs and goals change. The biography does not list which session formats are used here, so it is important to confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often combine talking, practical exercises and between-session tasks effectively in remote sessions.Areas of expertise
