About Mark

Mark Dexter is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem or major life changes. He offers practical support and listens without judging so clients can explore what matters to them and begin to make changes.

Mark believes people are the experts on their own lives. He looks for strengths and resources a person already has, and helps them use those strengths to tackle problems.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on everyday steps that make life more manageable. His work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside attachment-focused and client-centred ways of working. That mix lets him adapt to different needs, whether someone needs help with mood, trauma, addiction or relationship concerns.

Mark has supported people through grief, parenting strains, anger, career shifts and issues linked to intimacy and sexuality. He also works with ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue concerns, and can talk with clients about eating or sleeping difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

He uses a collaborative style, helping people set clear goals and try small, achievable changes between sessions.

Ways of working Mark names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approach and Online Working Together

Mark often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed actions that fit those values. ACT can help when worry or avoidance stops someone doing what matters to them.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments that change mood and behaviour. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment‑based ideas inform his work too, helping clients understand patterns in relationships and how early bonds can affect current reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Mark works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences. He will explain options, try techniques together and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suit brief check‑ins and people who prefer typed communication. These options help fit therapy around work, travel or caring responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
