About Mark
Mark Smith is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He holds BACP accreditation, and he focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and addiction-related challenges. Mark aims to give straightforward support to people who are ready to take the first step towards change.
He keeps sessions practical and person-centred. Conversations are tailored to each person's situation and goals. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, building coping skills, or finding motivation to make different choices.
Mark uses client-centred work alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. He mixes approaches to suit the person rather than following one single method. Sessions can cover day-to-day strategies, thought patterns, motivation for change, and ways to reduce panic and anxious symptoms.
People often bring worries about mood, grief, concentration or addictive behaviours. Mark also supports those struggling with body image, attachment or feelings of guilt and shame. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
Getting started is kept simple. Mark encourages a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling a first appointment. He works with people who speak English and accepts international clients, with session details confirmed during the sign-up process.
How Mark uses different therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy is about putting the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the concerns you bring, helping you make sense of your experience and choose your own direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical strategies for anxiety, panic symptoms and low mood.
Motivational Interviewing focuses on building your own motivation for change. It uses guided conversation to clarify goals and strengthen commitment when facing addictions or mixed feelings about change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to decide which combination of methods fits your needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue work when circumstances make in-person meetings harder. Registered or accredited professionals aim to work with you to arrange sessions that suit your routine and goals.
