Mark Walsh, BACP

Mark draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One approach looks at everyday thoughts and behaviours and helps people try different ways of reacting to stressful situations; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach concentrates on grief and loss, helping people make sense of their experience and find steady routines and meaning after bereavement or major change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking what feels manageable and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good when face-to-face discussion matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging can be used for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
