About Mark
Mark Byatt is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties. He also supports concerns such as grief, career stress, ADHD and coping with life changes.
He aims for straightforward conversations that help people make sense of what they are feeling. Sessions focus on listening, noticing patterns and trying practical steps that can reduce overwhelm. He draws on Client-Centred ideas to build a respectful working relationship and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to look at thinking and behaviour patterns.
Mark also uses elements of Existential Therapy to help people consider values, meaning and life choices. He can discuss integrating Biblical counsel when a client asks for that specifically. The therapy offered is shaped by what each person brings and what they want to work on.
Clients can expect a calm, direct approach that concentrates on clear goals and manageable steps. Conversations cover everyday pressures young adults often face - work, study, relationships, identity and feeling behind - as well as long-standing difficulties such as trauma or addiction. He has worked in private practice and with charities during his career.

How his clinical approaches fit online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a non-judgemental relationship. Online sessions can use that approach to help someone feel heard and to set simple goals for change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises. Online work often includes structured conversations and between-session tasks to try out in daily life.
Existential Therapy invites people to reflect on values, choices and meaning. This approach can help when someone is reassessing life directions, career choices or identity in early adulthood.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through what is most helpful based on symptoms, practical needs and personal preferences. Plans can change as therapy progresses to match what is proving useful.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around study, work or travel and using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity when life is busy, and they allow therapy to continue across locations for international clients.
