About Mark
Mark Callaway is a UK-based counsellor with practical experience supporting people through difficult life moments. He offers calm, direct help for worries about mood, relationships, addiction and trauma. Mark uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change everyday habits.
With 15 years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he works with a wide range of concerns.

He also supports people dealing with complex trauma, abuse and issues linked to neurodivergence.
Mark draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. He blends techniques that focus on thoughts and actions with work on attachment and emotions. Sessions can be short term to tackle a specific problem, or longer term when deeper change is needed.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose what matters most, and take small steps toward those values; it is useful for depression, anxiety and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional patterns, helping people repair connection and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and ease symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mark will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods suit the situation. That might mean combining work on thoughts and habits with emotional or attachment-focused interventions.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Mark offers video, telephone and instant messaging options alongside face-to-face and walking therapy, so people can choose what fits their routine. Check the available session formats before booking to confirm what is currently offered and to pick the option that best matches timing, comfort with video or phone, and the type of therapeutic work planned.
