About Mark
Mark Callaway is a UK-based counsellor with 15 years of practical experience. He meets people where they are and helps them make small, steady changes. His approach is warm and direct, aimed at reducing immediate distress and building clearer ways forward.
He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift painful emotional patterns. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and to build values-led action.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the client now. Mark has worked across many settings including community mental health, residential childcare, safeguarding and substance misuse services. That background means he is familiar with complex trauma, grief, addiction and long-term stress, and the practical pressures people face when life changes.
He collaborates with GPs, hospitals, schools and care providers where appropriate, and blends short-term problem solving with longer-term work when needed. Evening sessions are commonly offered and he adapts session format to the person’s needs. Appointments can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging a suitable time.

Online support
How his approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships or daily life. Online sessions can use this approach to uncover moments that keep someone stuck and to practice new emotional responses.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match a person's values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes and works well through practical exercises during video or phone sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional reactions. This approach supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues and related relationship stress by exploring past experiences and building new responses.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection and support between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor format and pacing to suit each person's situation.
