About Mark
Mark Callaway offers straightforward, practical support for people facing difficult moments. He focuses on helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and addiction. Mark writes in plain terms and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone juggling family life or work.
Mark has 15 years of counselling experience and holds BACP accreditation, which means he is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has worked a long time with complex trauma and alongside mental health teams and other services in the UK.
Background and approach
In sessions he uses a mix of approaches matched to the person’s needs. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment principles to help people focus on values and workable action. He also uses attachment-informed ways of understanding relationship patterns and emotionally focused ideas when intimacy and connection are central issues.
His background includes work in community mental health, residential childcare and services for domestic abuse and substance misuse. That practical experience informs a down-to-earth style that aims to make therapy relevant to daily life. Mark offers shorter and longer therapy and uses video, telephone, instant messaging or face-to-face sessions depending on what fits.
He typically works in the evenings to accommodate people with daytime commitments. If someone needs help with parenting stress, low self-esteem, sleep problems or coping with change, he aims to make next steps simple and clear.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then tailor methods over time. That means sessions can shift between practical strategies, values-focused work or relationship-focused conversations depending on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
