About Mark
Mark Walsh offers straightforward, evidence-based counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and depression. He introduces practical ways to manage difficult emotions and to rebuild self-esteem. Mark uses clear, respectful language and aims to make sessions calm and focused.
He has a BACP credential, which shows he meets standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Mark brings seven years of experience working with common challenges such as grief, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
How Mark works
He also supports people facing issues linked to cancer, hospice and end-of-life situations. Sessions concentrate on what feels most urgent for each person. Mark helps people talk through control issues, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.
He also offers support around drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, and fatherhood or men’s concerns. Mark has worked with people who are serving or have served in the armed forces and those in first responder roles, helping them make sense of stress and purpose.
He aims to keep the work practical so people leave with clear ideas to try between sessions. Therapy is offered in English from the United Kingdom and is delivered online. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online convenience
Mark draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more balanced thoughts to ease anxiety and low mood. This method teaches simple skills for handling distressing thoughts and for building confidence.Another approach emphasises shared problem-solving and coping strategies for life changes and grief. It helps people break issues into manageable steps and develop routines that reduce overwhelm. These methods suit people who want clear tools and short-term goals to improve daily functioning.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your situation, try different ways of working and adapt methods to your goals and preferences. Together you will shape a plan and check regularly that it is helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and text or chat can suit brief updates or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments and to continue support from different locations.
