About Mark
Mark Byatt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, addiction and relationship difficulties. Mark aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk and feel heard.
He uses clearly explained methods to help people make changes that matter. Sessions often involve talking through current patterns and testing small practical steps between meetings. Mark listens for what matters most to each person and adapts his approach to their pace and needs.
Before training as a counsellor Mark worked with charitable organisations and in private practice, which shaped his practical, down-to-earth style. He draws on a mix of client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and existential thinking to suit different concerns.
Mark describes his role as supporting and empowering people as they claim their own healing. He is open to discussing faith-based perspectives when requested, and will only bring that into sessions if the client asks for it.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what is said to help people feel understood and to find their own answers. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-worth and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. Sessions usually include practical strategies and small experiments to try between meetings, which can help with stress, depression and some forms of addiction.
Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by big life questions, changes or feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That means the approach can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations, which can help those living abroad or with varied schedules.
