About Mark
Mark Dexter is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. He also helps those coping with life changes and looking for clearer direction.
He uses straightforward, goal-focused work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often involve practical strategies and steps to try between meetings. The emphasis is on what people can do differently and how small changes add up over time.
Mark combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred methods. That means some sessions look at thought patterns and behaviours, and others focus on values and what matters most to the person. He also draws on attachment ideas to understand how past relationships affect current reactions.
People meet to map out concerns and set short-term goals. Homework and real-life experiments are commonly used to test what works. Conversations are plain and focused on specific difficulties like sleep, eating, anger, or coping with loss.
He accepts international clients and works in English. The sign-up process uses a short matching questionnaire and a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Before booking, confirm the current session options and practical details.
How his approaches translate to online work
Mark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in their thinking and behaviour and then try small practical experiments to change them. CBT is often useful for problems like anxiety, sleep difficulties and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action, helping people decide what matters and take steps towards it despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences influence current responses and can help with intimacy-related concerns and relationship patterns. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mark discusses options with each person and agrees a plan based on their goals and preferences. He treats this as a collaborative process, checking in and adjusting methods if something is not helping. Confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow people to use different ways of working between meetings, such as written exercises or short behavioural tasks, which fit into everyday life without needing a long commute.Areas of expertise
