Mark Nuttall, NCPS

Mark Nuttall is a registered psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with more than 20 years of clinical experience. He holds the NCPS credential, indicating professional registration as a psychotherapist, and brings long experience of helping people work through emotional and relational difficulties.

He offers therapy sessions to Better Help clients using the audio-visual format only, and not by text or phone call. His way of working centres on dialogue - attending closely to feelings, thoughts and concerns as the starting point for psychological movement and change. Sessions can also include periods of quiet reflection when stepping back helps to absorb and weigh up a problem. Issues are explored in real depth, with the pace and focus determined by the individual client.

Nuttall distinguishes between shorter term counselling and longer term psychotherapy and tailors the length of work to what each person requires. He does not rely on quick techniques but focuses on creating a professionally boundaried therapeutic relationship that makes it possible to investigate the self and relationships with others. He has experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes, and offers steady support for those taking steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Mark Nuttall uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered through online formats to help people work through a range of difficulties. One core approach is talk-based exploratory psychotherapy, which focuses on understanding patterns in feelings and relationships by following dialogue and reflection; this is helpful for issues such as relational difficulties, trauma and grief. He also offers shorter term counselling aimed at specific problems, using structured conversation and practical strategies to address stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Additionally, he draws on evidence-informed skills-focused work when appropriate to help clients build concrete coping tools for sleep, anger and addictive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Nuttall works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. This means adapting the balance between exploration and skills work to suit the individual.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it makes it easier to maintain regular appointments, fit therapy around busy schedules and access support from a distance. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver effective, focused work through these remote options while tailoring methods to each client.
