About Mark

Mark Byatt helps people work through stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and issues such as low self-esteem and addiction. He uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy in his work. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has around 10 years' experience.

Mark focuses on clear, practical conversations. He listens and helps clients name what feels difficult. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings and patterns that get in the way of daily life. He also offers a faith-based element only when a client specifically asks for it.

In practice he uses client-centred ways to follow what matters to the person in the room. He draws on CBT to look at thinking patterns and try small behavioural experiments. Existential ideas are used to discuss meaning, values and how life changes affect choices.

Mark's experience includes work in private practice and with charitable organisations. Over a decade he has supported people with grief, relationship and intimacy-related struggles, eating and anger issues, and complex concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and co-morbidity.

Sessions also address career strain, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to ageing or caregiving. He works with people concerned about bipolar mood patterns, ADHD and coping with life changes, focusing on practical next steps and clearer day-to-day routines.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and services use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his therapeutic approaches work for remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings, helping them clarify feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and often uses small experiments or practical tasks to change unhelpful patterns.

Existential Therapy involves talking about meaning, responsibility and how life changes affect decisions. These approaches can help with issues such as anxiety, grief, relationship problems and coping with major life transitions. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work; the therapist and client review what helps and adapt over time in a collaborative way.
