About Mark
Mark Callaway is a UK psychotherapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registration and 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common struggles such as anger, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and addiction. Sessions are presented plainly and practically, aimed at people who want better control over their reactions and clearer ways to cope with stress.
He describes helping people manage life changes, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures and sexual identity concerns. He has long experience in adult mental health and social work settings, collaborating with GPs, hospitals, schools and care teams. That background is used to support practical problem solving rather than abstract theory.
Mark draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose different responses. He also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches when relationships and trust need attention. Sessions can focus on immediate coping strategies or deeper patterns, depending on what feels most useful.
His practice includes short and longer-term counselling. He offers evening appointments and a range of session types to fit busy lives. The biography notes work with people affected by complex trauma, substance misuse, domestic abuse and difficult life transitions, and gives examples of supporting clients through trust rebuilding and stabilisation.
People can expect straightforward talk, practical steps and an emphasis on skills to manage anger and related problems in everyday settings. For those wanting to start, the process includes a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Mark uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and build practical skills for managing anger and stress. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear tools for everyday situations.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to values-based actions. ACT can help with repeated anger, avoidance and struggles around motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether short-term skill-building or deeper relational work fits best. That decision is reviewed as progress is made and as goals change.
Session formats listed in the biography include face-to-face, walking therapy, video, telephone and instant messaging. Please confirm which of these are currently offered before booking. Online or telephone options can make it easier to fit sessions into evenings, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adjust pacing and homework to suit a client's daily routine.
