About Mark
Mark Dexter uses straightforward, evidence-informed counselling to help people manage stress, anxiety and major life shifts. He works with individuals who are struggling with trauma, self‑esteem, motivation and confidence. Mark is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience in the United Kingdom and speaks English.

Background and approach
Mark draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and avoidance. He also uses Attachment‑Based and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas where relationship patterns and emotional regulation need attention. Common issues he supports include addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, anger and career worries.
He also works with people facing bipolar and depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. The emphasis is on coping skills, clearer values and realistic goals. Getting started is a simple process.

How Mark works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mark will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That conversation guides whether the focus is skills practice, values work, emotion regulation or understanding relationship patterns.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as squeezing a shorter check‑in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. They also allow continued momentum between in‑person appointments for people who move or travel. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions so progress can continue in practical ways.
