About Mark
Mark Byatt is a counsellor who aims to help people find steadier ground when life feels overwhelming. He works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, and he also supports people facing trauma, relationship strain and grief. His approach is described as warm and non-judgemental, with a focus on listening and understanding each person's story.
Mark draws on a mix of practical talking therapy methods. He uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to the person sitting across from him. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, known as CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning, values and life choices.
With ten years' experience in the United Kingdom, Mark has worked in private practice and in charitable settings. He explains options clearly and prefers to agree goals together with the person he is working with. He also notes that integration of Biblical counsel is available, but only when requested.
People seeking help for adoption and foster care related issues will find that this area is listed among his focus areas. He also lists work around parenting, attachment and abandonment concerns. Mark asks clients to be honest about what they need so he can shape sessions to those priorities.

How his approaches shape online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The counsellor creates space for someone to talk and organizes sessions around their concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to see what changes. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stressful situations. Existential Therapy looks at questions about meaning, values and choices and can help when people feel stuck, empty or unsure about direction.Finding the right style is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and try approaches that fit the person's needs and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses, so the client has a say in what feels helpful.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, for example by reducing travel and letting people choose a time that suits work or family routines. It can also allow a shorter check-in when time is limited or a fuller session when there is more time to talk. Ask about available formats when you book so sessions can be scheduled to match everyday life.
