Mark Dexter, BACP

Mark Dexter is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation and life changes. Mark focuses on practical steps people can use to manage strong feelings and make decisions that suit their life.

He uses straightforward conversations to help people spot patterns that feed anger, anxiety or low mood. Sessions often look at what people do when they feel overwhelmed and what small changes might ease tension. The work tends to be collaborative - the client’s experience guides what they try next.

Mark draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. He explains techniques in plain language and practices them together with clients so skills can be used outside sessions.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns beyond anger - including relationships, parenting strain, grief, addictions, work stress and mood difficulties. He aims to help people understand triggers and build coping options they can actually use.

Sessions are action-oriented while still allowing space to talk through difficult memories or feelings. Mark emphasises small, steady changes and helps people test what works for them in everyday life.
