His clinical experience covers adults, young people and children from age seven, gathered across a range of settings including financial services, residential childcare, family outreach, safeguarding, domestic abuse services, substance misuse support and community mental health teams. He frequently collaborates with GPs, hospitals, adult and child mental health teams, schools and care providers to coordinate care and practical support.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support
Mark commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside practical cognitive work. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action - useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional responses - it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, trauma responses and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to build practical strategies for change, often supporting mood, anxiety and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mark works collaboratively with each person to consider their needs, goals and preferences and to tailor methods over time so the work feels relevant and workable for them. He sees therapy as a shared endeavour where approaches are adapted rather than imposed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone allow full conversations when meeting in person is difficult, while live chat and text-based messaging give options for people who prefer shorter, ongoing contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, and to maintain continuity when circumstances change.
