About Mark
Mark Callaway is a counsellor who focuses on men’s wellbeing and on practical help for everyday struggles. He offers a calm, direct approach for people feeling overwhelmed by addiction, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety or relationship strain. He aims to make the first steps feel manageable and straightforward.
He draws on 15 years of counselling experience and a longer history working with complex trauma. Mark is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He also works as a social worker in adult mental health, which informs his understanding of services and onward support.
In sessions he listens for what matters to each person, then helps them try concrete ways to change day-to-day patterns. He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred listening to help people clarify values, test small changes and build coping skills.
Mark has worked across many settings, including residential childcare, substance misuse services, and community mental health. That background shapes a practical style that suits people facing complex life pressures and mixed needs.
Appointments can be short or long term and are often scheduled in the evenings to fit working lives. He offers face-to-face sessions, walking therapy, video, phone, and instant messaging as ways to meet. People are encouraged to pick the option that best fits their routine and comfort.
How Mark uses online and movement-based approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, addictive patterns and for people trying to make life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and then testing small experiments to change them. It can help with depression, anxiety, sleep and many everyday difficulties.
Attachment-Based ideas inform how Mark pays attention to relationship patterns and safety in relationships. This can help when past hurts affect current connections and intimacy.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mark will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts the work over time and checks in about what is helpful.
Practical benefits of online and flexible formats include fitting sessions around work, reducing travel time and allowing quick check-ins when people need them. Mark offers video and telephone sessions, walking therapy, instant messaging and face-to-face meetings; confirm the current session options before booking. These choices can make it easier to keep therapy part of everyday life without forcing a big schedule change.
