About Mark
He often uses short recordings between sessions to reinforce what was discussed and to help people practise new ways of coping. That approach is intended to speed up progress beyond the time spent in appointments. Sessions focus on practical steps and small experiments clients can try between meetings.
Mark draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and make purposeful changes. He also uses attachment-based ideas to think about how early relationships affect current habits and feelings. Solution-focused methods are brought in to set clear, achievable goals for day-to-day life.
He works with a broad range of concerns including grief, anger, low self-esteem, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Additional areas he addresses include abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, chronic illness and pain, and difficulties around commitment and control.
People often come to him for help with relationship strain, fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, or struggles with guilt and shame. He aims to give practical tools and steadier ways of responding when life feels overwhelming.
Sessions are delivered in English and he accepts clients from outside the UK. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with big life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present behaviour and helps people try new ways of relating and regulating feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is made together and can be adjusted as sessions progress to better match what helps you most.
The biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so confirm current formats before booking. Many people find online or remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and support practising techniques at home between meetings. Using short audio recordings between appointments is already part of his practice, and that can be especially useful alongside any online sessions to reinforce learning and build resilience.
