About Mark
Mark Byatt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, parenting strain and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar difficulties.
Mark draws on ten years of experience across independent practice and charitable settings. He aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are framed around the person’s priorities and what they want to change. In practical terms he combines client-centred listening with techniques that address thinking and behaviour patterns. Existential therapy is also part of his approach, helping people explore meaning, responsibility and choices when life feels confusing or empty.
People often come to him for help with low motivation, self-esteem and coping with life transitions. He also works through issues such as trauma, family conflict, abandonment and attachment difficulties. Mark can include faith-based discussion when that is explicitly requested by the client.
Sessions are offered in English and available online for people in the UK and internationally. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Therapy follows the client’s pace and goals, with practical steps agreed together.

Online support
How Mark’s approaches work online
Mark uses client-centred work, cognitive-behavioural methods and existential ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on careful listening and following the person’s lead, which helps when someone needs space to be heard. Cognitive-behavioural methods look at thoughts and behaviours and offer practical ways to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and coping strategies. Existential therapy helps people think about meaning, choices and responsibility when life feels confusing or empty, which can support those facing major transitions or feelings of emptiness.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they agree how to blend listening, practical skills and reflection so sessions match the client’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations when seeing faces matters. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
