About Mark
Mark Dexter uses practical, person-centred approaches to help people feel steadier and more able to cope. He draws on several evidence-based methods to support people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Mark is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience working in the United Kingdom.
He believes the person knows their own story best, and that therapy is a collaborative process. Sessions focus on what matters to the client, and on building small, practical steps that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
He aims to make sessions straightforward and grounded rather than overly clinical. Mark has helped people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictive behaviours, and challenges around intimacy and relationships. He also supports those coping with grief, career strain, compassion fatigue and neurodiverse concerns such as ADHD.
His work includes addressing sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and shifts in self-esteem. His practice blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive and emotion-focused methods. That mix is used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, manage intense feelings, and clarify what matters to them.
Sessions may include practical exercises, coaching-style goal work, and reflective discussion. Mark offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for flexible access. International clients can be supported in English.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It often uses practical exercises and simple behavioural changes to reduce worry, improve sleep and tackle patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mark will discuss options and try different techniques based on a person’s needs and goals. The process is collaborative, with the client’s preferences steering which methods are used.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, short live chats are useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caring duties or travel and help people keep continuity of care across locations.
