About Mark
Mark Callaway is a UK-based counsellor with 15 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma, grief and mood difficulties. He uses practical, down-to-earth conversations to help people make changes that fit their everyday lives.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). His background includes long experience working with complex trauma and with people affected by substance misuse and domestic abuse.
Background and approach
He has worked alongside GPs, hospitals, schools and social care providers. In sessions he keeps the work simple and focused. He draws on approaches that help people identify what matters to them and take small steps towards it.
He also uses strategies that look at how thoughts and behaviours link to mood and relationships. Mark has worked with adults and young people across many settings, including residential care and community mental health. He describes meaningful progress as improved trust, safer boundaries and steadier coping in crisis.
He offers short- and long-term counselling and tailors the format to a person’s needs. Options include video calls, telephone, walking therapy and text-based messaging. Sessions are usually offered in the evenings but times can vary.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The arrangement uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small committed actions towards those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress and life changes by encouraging practical steps instead of getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current connections. It is useful for people who struggle with trust, intimacy or repeating painful relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and will suggest ways of working together. Decisions about which approach to use are made collaboratively and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can fit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, travel or family life, and to continue therapy when in-person meetings are difficult.
