Mark Byatt is a counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He listens without judgement and aims to make it easier for people to talk about stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. He also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, self‑esteem struggles and parenting stress.

Mark uses straightforward sessions where the person sets the pace and topics. He pays attention to what matters most in day-to-day life, and helps people break big problems into small, workable steps.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of technical language. His background includes a breadth of work in independent practice and with charities. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, also shown as BACP.

That experience has given him familiarity with many common life difficulties, including bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. Mark works with a wide range of concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiving stress, codependency, eating and intimacy-related difficulties, and coping with major life changes. He can also support those facing cancer, ageing and geriatric matters, or separation and divorce.

Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. He accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that fits their schedule.

People who choose Mark can expect a calm, respectful space and clear, practical steps to help them move forward.

Online approaches and how they help

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and supported while they make their own choices about change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It helps with anxiety, low mood, unhelpful behaviours and practical problem solving by teaching simple skills to shift patterns.

Existential Therapy encourages people to consider meaning, values and life choices. It can be useful when facing big life changes, questions about purpose, or a sense of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences, and together they will choose or combine approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check‑in. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer to write or need regular, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
