About Mark
Mark Dexter uses a mix of practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage difficult feelings. He draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small, workable steps toward change. Mark holds BACP accreditation and has eight years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.
He helps people who are coping with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life transitions.
How Mark works
He also supports work on addictions, sleeping or eating concerns, grief, and difficulties around intimacy and relationships. He works with mood concerns including depression and bipolar disorder and offers coaching-style support for career or motivation issues. In sessions he treats each person as the expert on their own life.
He focuses on plain-language conversation and practical strategies you can try between meetings. Small tools and new ways of seeing situations are often used to reduce unhelpful patterns and build strengths. Mark aims to create straightforward goals and realistic plans.
He blends approaches such as attachment-informed conversation and dialectical skills when these suit a person's needs. This keeps the work flexible and tailored to everyday life rather than academic theory. People typically find the pace gentle and goal-focused.
He invites curiosity about what helps and what gets in the way. The emphasis is on steady progress and usable skills that fit around daily responsibilities.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety, depression and mood swings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and helps people build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adapting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with him uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their day. Video calls are good for a fuller conversational session, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text messaging makes it easier to keep a steady rhythm of contact between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel.
