About Mark
Mark Dexter uses a client-centred approach to guide people through difficult times. He speaks plainly and focuses on each person as the expert in their own life. Mark aims to create an atmosphere where someone can speak honestly and feel heard without judgement.
Over eight years he has helped people manage stress and anxiety, cope with trauma and abuse, and rebuild motivation and self‑esteem. He also supports people facing major life changes and those trying to improve confidence and day‑to‑day coping skills. The work is practical and paced to suit each person.
Mark draws on a mix of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, alongside attachment-focused ideas. He uses these approaches to help people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and build routines that make life feel more manageable.
Sessions usually focus on what matters most to the individual. Conversations can cover thinking styles, emotional reactions and practical steps to reduce overwhelm. Mark offers coaching-style tools when helpful and supports clients who are working through grief, relationship strain, or challenges with eating, sleeping and addictive behaviours.
He is registered with the BACP, works in the United Kingdom and runs a straightforward process for starting therapy. People who prefer to continue in English can expect clear, down-to-earth support tailored to their goals.
How Mark’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client‑centred work focuses on the person’s own priorities and values. In online sessions this means the counsellor offers space to tell your story, reflect on what matters, and choose goals together. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can reduce the time spent struggling with unhelpful patterns. Attachment‑based ideas look at how early relationships shape present reactions and help people try new ways of connecting and responding to others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through options and suggest ways of working based on your goals and preferences. You and the counsellor can try different techniques and adjust the focus as you learn what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed. It also makes it simpler to link therapy with day‑to‑day routines like work breaks or caregiving schedules. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone sessions and coach practical skills you can use between meetings.
