About Mark
Mark Callaway is a UK psychotherapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accreditation and 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, parenting and blended family problems. Sessions are aimed at practical steps people can take to manage day-to-day life and difficult transitions.
He uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In practice this means talking through what is happening now, identifying patterns that cause pain, and testing small changes in how people act and communicate. Mark often focuses on repairing trust, improving boundaries, and stabilising mood during crisis moments.
Mark's background includes social work in adult mental health and extensive experience with complex trauma. He has worked in residential childcare, safeguarding, substance misuse services, and community mental health. That work has involved collaboration with GPs, hospitals, schools and other care providers.
People who come to him often want straightforward help with difficult transitions - becoming a stepparent, managing co-parenting with an ex, or blending routines and loyalties in a new household. He offers both short and longer-term counselling and adapts the format to what someone needs.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered from the United Kingdom. The practical aim is to help individuals find clearer ways of relating, managing stress, and coping with complicated family roles.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain problems and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating, which is helpful for relationship and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan together.

Online or remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins without travel, and offer options when being on camera is not wanted.
