About Mark
Mark Smith is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and depression, and also works with attention and concentration difficulties such as ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Smith approaches sessions in a conversational, person-focused way. He adapts his questions and techniques to what each person brings, and uses practical strategies intended for day-to-day life. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to structure sessions and set manageable steps.
People often come for help with panic, social anxiety, low mood or problems with substance use. He also supports those dealing with shame, guilt, relationship communication problems, body image concerns, chronic illness and grief. Work may include talking through recent events, developing coping skills, and setting short-term goals.
Sessions can include exploring how attachment and abandonment experiences shape current reactions. For problems linked to control or paranoia, he helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try alternative responses. For addictions, motivational interviewing techniques are used to clarify goals and build motivation for change.
His style is straightforward and action-oriented while remaining responsive to the person in front of him. Prospective clients are asked to use the service’s matching steps to arrange an initial session and to confirm the session formats available before booking.

How his approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic and low mood. Motivational Interviewing concentrates on building motivation for change by exploring a person’s own reasons and strengths and can be helpful for substance use and other behaviour change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide on methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as sessions progress.
The original biography does not list which specific session formats are provided, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, appointments and family commitments. They can also allow for shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage.
