About Mark
Mark Callaway is a UK-based counsellor with 15 years of direct counselling experience and a BACP accreditation. He helps people facing addiction, trauma, relationship problems, low mood, anxiety and stress, and codependency concerns. His manner is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps and steady support.
Mark uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small steps, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused work guide conversations about trust, connection and closeness.
He has worked across many settings including residential childcare, safeguarding, substance misuse services and community mental health. He also practised as a social worker in adult mental health and collaborates with GPs, hospitals and other agencies when that is useful for a person’s care.
Sessions can be short or long term and are often offered in the evenings. He uses face-to-face work, walking therapy, video, telephone and instant messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Confirm current session options before booking.
People come to him for help with grief, parenting strain, eating or sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD and managing big life transitions. He works in plain language and aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is often useful for stuckness, low mood and anxiety because it focuses on committed steps rather than only changing thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduces practical experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, eating and sleeping issues and coping with stressful events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, life circumstances and what feels most helpful, then test different ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm current online session options before booking, because formats can vary. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or health needs, and some people prefer shorter phone check-ins while others use video for deeper emotional work. The therapist offers a range of ways to meet so sessions can be shaped to everyday life and practical needs.
