About Mark
Mark Dexter is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He is a BACP-registered practitioner who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and low self-esteem. He speaks English and accepts international clients. He encourages people to recognise their own strengths as part of moving forward.
He uses practical, person-focused methods to help people build clearer routines and steadier mood. Conversations cover coping with life changes, motivation, confidence, and relationship or family pressures. Sessions also address grief, addiction, sleeping and eating concerns, and anger management.
Mark draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to shape work with clients. He focuses on helping people notice patterns, try small changes, and practise new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. The emphasis is on doable steps rather than jargon.
People often start by naming one or two problems they want to change. From there he helps set simple goals and tests what works in day-to-day life. He aims to create a space where people can talk frankly, try out ideas and build confidence to make practical changes.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and act in line with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and breaks problems into manageable steps to practise in daily life. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and handling intense feelings. These methods focus on clear, repeatable techniques rather than abstract theory.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted if something does not fit or bring the hoped-for benefits.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue once a plan is in place, so skills can be practised between meetings and progress reviewed regularly.
