Mark Dexter, BACP

Mark Dexter is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings eight years of professional experience to his therapeutic work. He holds BACP accreditation - membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his training and commitment to recognised counselling standards.

Mark specialises in supporting people coping with stress and anxiety, alongside work with trauma and abuse. He also focuses on motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and helping clients adapt to significant life changes. His practice centres on practical, compassionate support tailored to each person's situation.

He works from the position that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths are key resources for change. Mark recognises that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, and he aims to provide steady, respectful support throughout that process.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Mark Dexter draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build practical steps toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivation issues. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, and it can support those struggling with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns or the aftereffects of trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing concrete skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mark will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to receive consistent support despite scheduling or mobility constraints.
