About Mark

Mark Callaway is a UK counsellor with fifteen years of direct practice who helps people cope after trauma and life upheaval. He supports adults with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and relationship strain. He also works with people facing identity questions, parenting stresses and long-term health challenges.

Mark uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients make sense of difficult experiences. He listens, reflects and helps people find steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Sessions can be short-term problem solving or longer work that looks at patterns and past hurts. His background includes many years working with complex trauma and with people affected by domestic abuse and substance misuse. He has worked in community mental health, residential childcare and family outreach, and alongside GPs, hospitals and schools.

This range shapes a flexible approach to different life situations. Mark is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He sees clients mainly in the evenings and offers a mixture of formats such as video calls, phone sessions, walk-and-talk and instant messaging.

Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. People coming to Mark can expect a calm, direct style and help finding practical ways to manage distress. He aims to help clients feel steadier, to reduce overwhelming symptoms and to rebuild trust in relationships and themselves.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings and take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating to others and themselves. Trauma‑Focused approaches pay attention to the effects of overwhelming events and aim to reduce the impact of traumatic memories while stabilising everyday functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that fit each person. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as things move forward.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can be simpler and needs less bandwidth, and messaging or chat fits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs while keeping continuity of care.
