About Mark
Mark Byatt is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. He sees people struggling with stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, and anger among other concerns. Mark offers practical, person-focused conversations aimed at reducing the burden of day-to-day difficulties.
He prefers a straightforward way of working. Sessions focus on what matters now - managing feelings, understanding patterns, and finding clearer ways to respond. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the client's experience and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.
Mark also uses ideas from Existential Therapy to help people consider values, choices and meaning when life feels uncertain. These approaches are used to address a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, relationship problems, grief, addictions and coping with change.
He has worked in both private practice and charitable organisations. That background informs a practical approach to everyday pressures, parenting strains, workplace stress and longer-term issues such as bipolar and co-morbidity. When asked, he can integrate Biblical counsel into sessions, but only if the client requests it.
Sessions are conversational and task-focused when needed. Clients can expect a mix of talking, exploring patterns and setting straightforward steps to try between meetings. International clients may be accepted; confirm current session options before booking.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and building a trusting conversation. Online sessions can use this approach to review current feelings, name patterns and make sense of what is happening in daily life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online work often includes practical exercises, short experiments and simple tasks to try between sessions to reduce unhelpful patterns.
Existential Therapy examines values, choices and meaning when life feels difficult. In remote sessions this can help people weigh options and consider how they want to live, especially during major life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and may change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not listed here; please confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also allow for different types of check-ins, for example shorter conversations when time is tight or fuller sessions when more space is needed.
