About Mark
Mark Byatt is a counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing and on helping people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. He works with those facing depression, low self-esteem, relationships and trauma-related concerns. Mark wants clients to feel heard and safe when they first come to a session.
He draws on client-centred methods that put the person's own perspective at the centre of the work. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and existential ideas that consider meaning and choice. These approaches shape conversations and practical steps in sessions.
Mark has around 10 years' experience in the United Kingdom, working in private practice and with charitable organisations. He listens without judgement and aims to help people build confidence and motivation, as well as manage addictive behaviours or the impact of trauma.
Where helpful, he can integrate discussion of Christian or biblical perspectives, but only when a client asks for that specifically. He encourages people to bring the real things on their mind, such as parenting stress, grief, career worries or intimacy issues.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. Mark supports people who want practical coping strategies, clearer thinking about choices, or a steadier sense of direction during difficult periods.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building a trusting, non-judgemental conversation. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect, and supports practical steps for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Existential Therapy encourages exploring meaning, choice and responsibility when faced with difficult life events or transitions.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the way they work if something is not helping. That means sessions can mix listening, practical exercises and reflective conversation according to what the client prefers.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or evenings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and options for telephone or lower-bandwidth contact where video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt materials and exercises for remote sessions to keep the work practical and focused.
