About Mark
Mark Callaway is a UK-based counsellor with 15 years of clinical experience who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. He is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) member and brings practical, down-to-earth support to people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. He focuses on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon.
Sessions usually start by identifying what matters most to the person and what small changes could make life easier.
Background and approach
Mark uses plain language, listens closely, and adapts the pace to each person’s needs. Mark’s background includes long work with trauma and complex presentations across health and social care settings. That history means he is used to coordinating with GPs, hospitals and other services when people want that joined-up support.
He has worked in environments such as residential childcare, substance misuse services and community mental health teams. People come to him for a wide range of concerns, from addictions and stress to parenting difficulties and identity questions. He also supports those coping with chronic illness, bereavement, attachment questions and changes in work or relationships.
Mark describes practical tools alongside space to talk through painful experiences. Sessions are offered in several formats to fit different lives, including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Appointments are often available in the evenings, and the subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and then testing new, more helpful ways of acting. It often helps with worry, depression and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences and adjust the plan as the relationship develops. That process is collaborative, with space to review what is working and change tack if needed.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or who want quick, flexible contact between sessions. These options aim to increase accessibility and make it simpler to keep continuity of care.
