About Mark
Mark Dexter is a counsellor with eight years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and motivation struggles. Mark also supports those dealing with trauma, life changes and parenting concerns.
He uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions so people can start making small changes quickly. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and build on their existing strengths. Mark aims to make the first step feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Background and approach
His approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred listening. That mix helps people notice patterns, try new behaviours and make choices that fit their values. Sessions often include simple exercises to practise between meetings.
People bring a wide range of issues, from grief and relationship strain to sleep or eating difficulties. Mark also supports those navigating addiction, career stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He frames work around clear goals and practical coping tools rather than labels.
Appointments are offered in English and can be arranged for international clients. Mark encourages a collaborative pace so each person decides the focus and speed of work. He aims to help people feel steadier and more able to face day-to-day challenges.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with stress, sleep or eating problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and day-to-day needs to decide what fits best. Sessions are collaborative so techniques are tried and adjusted together rather than fixed in advance.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit brief reflections into a busy day. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, and help people access regular support from registered or accredited professionals regardless of location.
