About Mark
Mark Callaway is a UK counsellor with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on practical problems such as addiction, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He also helps people facing grief, trauma, parenting strain and money and financial issues. Mark holds BACP accreditation, which he lists as his professional credential.
In sessions he aims to be straightforward and calm. He uses approaches like cognitive behavioural techniques and person-centred listening to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. Mark also draws on attachment ideas to understand how relationships shape feelings and behaviour.
His background includes work across health and social care settings. He has experience in residential childcare, community mental health, substance misuse services and domestic abuse support. That range has informed how he works with complex trauma and practical life pressures.
Mark offers both short-term focused counselling and longer-term work, with a preference for evening appointments to fit busy schedules. He has worked alongside GPs, hospitals, schools and care providers when coordinating care.
People can expect clear, goal-focused sessions where practical strategies are balanced with space to talk things through. He pays attention to safety and stabilisation when trauma or crisis are present. Sessions can include walking therapy, video, telephone or instant messaging to match individual needs.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice inner experiences and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and challenges where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces practical skills to test and change unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with anxiety, depression and stress management.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt over time if needed. Practical benefits of remote sessions include saving travel time and fitting therapy into busy evenings. Mark lists video, telephone and instant messaging as ways he works; these options can make it easier to have a shorter check-in, use audio-only calls when bandwidth is low, or choose messaging when writing helps to gather thoughts. If you want a particular session format, confirm the current options before booking so arrangements match your needs.
