About Mark
Mark Byatt is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief and anger.
Mark keeps sessions direct and practical. He listens and helps people talk through what is happening now and what they want to change. He can support people who struggle with motivation, confidence or the slow build-up of resentment. He also offers integration of Biblical counsel if requested by the client.
In sessions Mark draws on client-centred work to focus on each person's experience. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anger or low mood. He also uses Existential Therapy to look at meaning, responsibility and the choices people face when circumstances shift.
People who come with workplace frustration, recurring arguments at home, or feelings that keep building up will find a straightforward style. Conversations tend to map the problem, try small changes and review what worked. The emphasis is on practical next steps rather than lengthy theory.
Mark has worked in private practice and with charities. That variety has shaped a flexible approach to different life situations. He welcomes questions about how he works and whether his methods might suit an individual's situation.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person says. Online sessions can use that same approach so the therapist helps clients explore their feelings and priorities at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online sessions can include identifying unhelpful thinking, setting small experiments and reviewing what changed between appointments. That approach is often used for anger, anxiety and low mood.
Existential Therapy examines meaning, responsibility and personal choice in difficult situations. In remote sessions this can help people facing life changes or long-standing emptiness by clarifying values and options.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the issues involved and then suggest what to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, depending on the formats offered by the practitioner.
