How his approaches work for online and remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours, which often helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and how past bonds shape current relationships, making it relevant for intimacy issues, grief and trauma.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might help, and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process can adapt over time as needs change.

Mark’s biography lists several ways of meeting, including video, telephone and instant messaging, as well as face-to-face and walking therapy. If session formats are important to you, please confirm the current options before booking so you know what is possible. Online and remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid being on camera if that is preferred.
