Mark Callaway offers direct, practical support for people facing difficult life moments. He works with adults on issues like addiction, relationship strain, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and parenting worries. Mark writes plainly and focuses on what will help day to day.

He is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Mark has around 15 years of counselling experience. He has also worked extensively with complex trauma across varied settings, including residential childcare, safeguarding, and substance misuse services.

Background and approach

That background means he is familiar with emergencies, care systems and multiagency work, and how those pressures affect everyday life. In sessions he blends approaches to match each person’s needs. He uses practical, goal-focused methods alongside attachment-based listening to help rebuild trust and improve relationships.

Therapy can include short-term problem solving or longer-term work depending on what matters to the client. Mark offers flexible ways to meet, such as video calls, phone sessions, walking therapy, live chat and text messaging. Evening appointments are often available to fit around work or family commitments.

The emphasis is on making therapy fit life, not the other way around. He often supports people coping with changes like adoption and fostering, caring responsibilities, chronic illness, or career shifts. Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress and build clearer ways to cope over time.

Practical steps and steady support are central to his approach.

How his approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on values and small committed actions to move life in a chosen direction, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with change.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people relate today. It is useful for those who want to rebuild trust, improve intimacy-related issues or understand patterns that repeat in relationships.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences and then adapt techniques together. That way the therapy plan fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break or a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and health commitments, while still using the approaches described above.
