About Mark
Mark Smith is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. He also supports those managing depression and attention difficulties such as ADHD.
Mark aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. He keeps conversations simple and practical, and tailors sessions to each person’s needs. He focuses on building an open relationship so people can talk honestly about what’s worrying them.
Background and approach
In sessions he mixes client-centred listening with clear, goal-focused tools. That means time is spent both on understanding how you feel and on trying different strategies to change unhelpful patterns. He may use cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thinking patterns and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
Mark also helps with issues related to attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic pain and illness, communication and control problems, guilt and shame, and men’s issues. He has experience with panic attacks, paranoia, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia. He can talk through concerns about drug and alcohol addiction.
People who prefer straightforward, compassionate conversation tend to find his style useful. Sessions are shaped to your goals and pace. He accepts clients from different countries and works in English.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It offers practical steps and simple exercises to reduce anxiety, manage panic and tackle low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and can be useful for addictions and making life adjustments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods that fit your needs and adjust them as you go.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for a fuller conversation, phone sessions can fit a shorter break, and live chat or text messaging work for ongoing check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping focus on progress.
