About Mark
Counsellor (BACP), 8 years' experience. Mark Dexter works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based methods to help people address practical problems and emotional patterns.
Mark sees therapy as a collaborative process. He treats people as the experts on their own lives and draws on their strengths to tackle problems. Sessions focus on real-world steps and on noticing patterns that get in the way of goals.
He regularly helps with coping through life changes, managing grief and working through relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports people dealing with sleep and eating issues, addiction-related difficulties, anger and career stress. Mood conditions such as depression and bipolar features are included among his areas of work.
Mark uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build actions that matter. Attachment-based ideas help look at how past relationships affect current patterns.
Practical matters such as improving confidence, managing anxiety and developing everyday coping skills are typical session topics. He accepts clients from the United Kingdom and international clients and works in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details.

How Mark uses ACT, CBT and attachment ideas in online work
Mark often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and build small actions that match those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with goals, which can help with anxiety and motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, and to try practical experiments that change behaviour. CBT tends to be problem-focused and helpful for panic, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and ways of relating. This can be useful when intimacy, trust or recurring relationship issues are a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and together decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may shift as therapy progresses.
The biography does not specify which session formats he offers. Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also reduce the time commitment around appointments and help people keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
