Malcolm Bateup helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma.

He works in English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom. Malcolm has 14 years of practice as an integrative psychotherapist and relationship counsellor.

Background and approach

He comes from a health background dating back to 1996 and draws on lived experience of mental health. He holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS in his profile. In sessions he adapts approaches to what each person needs.

He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also draws on client-centred ways of working to follow the person’s own pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to identify patterns of thinking and try different behaviours.

Therapy can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit practical needs. Malcolm also offers walk-and-talk sessions and occasional face-to-face meetings according to location and preference. He receives monthly clinical supervision as part of his ongoing practice.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions through the service. Sessions are delivered using a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Practical online approaches and how they help

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people relate now. It helps with patterns around intimacy, abandonment and attachment issues that recur in adult life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person's lead, listening carefully and helping them find their own solutions; it suits those who want a gentle, paced way to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a problem-focused method that helps spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Malcolm will talk through options and test what fits. He aims to work collaboratively, tailoring techniques to a person's goals and preferences rather than using one fixed method. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact for deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits regular check-ins, brief updates or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, travel or family commitments, while still using the therapeutic approaches that best match the person's needs.
