About Mark
Mark Byatt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He supports those feeling low self-esteem, low motivation or struggling with relationship and family concerns.
He brings a calm, non-judgemental manner and strong listening skills to sessions. His work aims to create a space where someone can say difficult things and be heard. He offers support for grief, addiction and intimacy-related issues as well as career worries and life changes.
Background and approach
Mark uses a mix of talking therapies tailored to each person. He draws on client-centred approaches to follow the client's lead and make therapy feel collaborative. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Across ten years of practice he has worked in personal settings and with charitable organisations. His BACP accreditation is listed as a professional credential. Sessions are available in English and he can see people living outside the UK.
People meeting him can expect practical conversations alongside reflective work. He will talk through coping strategies, explore values and help set small, realistic steps. On request he can also integrate faith-based material into sessions when that is important to the person.
To begin the process clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location and therapist availability.

Approaches Mark lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavioural steps to reduce anxiety or low mood and to build coping skills. CBT can help with issues like depression, anxiety and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences and needs and will agree on a way forward together. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted over time as things change.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and mirrors face-to-face conversation, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or who want frequent, brief check-ins between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
