About Mark
Mark Dexter is a counsellor with eight years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as his professional credential. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those facing trauma, relationship strain and changes in life circumstances.
Mark works with each person as an individual and starts by listening to their story. He believes clients are the experts in their own lives and draws on their strengths when planning how to move forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and practical, aimed at making small changes that add up over time. His approach borrows from well established methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Those methods help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new actions, and clarify their values so they can act in ways that matter to them.
He also uses elements of attachment-focused work to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. People come to Mark for help with self-esteem, coping after loss, managing anger, and dealing with addictions or compassion fatigue. He also supports clients facing career stress, parenting challenges and sleep or eating difficulties.
Sessions are tailored to the person’s priorities and pace. Mark encourages a collaborative style. He will work with clients to set clear, achievable goals and review progress as therapy continues.
The aim is practical relief and clearer ways to handle life’s stresses.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques can be blended and adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low, live chat is a quicker way to check in, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and daily life while keeping therapy focused on practical progress.
