About Mark Walker
Mark Walker encourages open conversation as a practical starting point when life feels difficult, believing that talking can help make sense of uncertainty and emotion. He recognises that friends, family or simple activities such as walking or listening to music may provide relief, and he also offers a professional option when impartiality, personal nature of sessions and structured support are needed. Mark aims to be a calm, steady presence as problems grow more complex and feelings of emptiness, confusion or anxiety emerge.
He works from a client-centered stance that prioritises trust, compassion, acceptance and empathy, creating a space where people can explore their thoughts without feeling directed toward any particular decision. He does not give prescriptive advice and will not tell someone what to do - instead he supports clients to reflect, consider and arrive at their own choices when they feel ready.
Mark brings life experience and professional training to his work. He left teaching in 2013 to train and practise as a counsellor and holds BACP registration - a UK professional counselling membership - and he lists five years of clinical experience. He meets people in a very human way, keeping in mind the events of his life as part of that understanding.
Originally from London and now based in Liverpool in the North West of the United Kingdom, he is married and has two grown-up children. His practice supports people with relationship and family issues, self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career matters. He also works with themes such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and self-love.

Client-Centered Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy is the core of Mark Walker's practice. This approach focuses on empathic listening and acceptance, allowing the client to explore feelings and personal experiences at their own pace without pressure to follow a set agenda. It is often helpful for relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, anxiety and life transitions.In practice, this means the therapist offers a respectful, non-directive environment that supports reflection and self-discovery. For people facing grief, trauma, stress or struggles with intimacy and communication, the client-centered stance helps create space to process and make meaning of those experiences collaboratively.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Mark works together with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. He will adapt the way he works as therapy progresses to ensure the approach remains helpful.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provide practical flexibility, making it easier to arrange appointments around work, family or travel. These options increase accessibility for international clients and for those who prefer different modes of speaking or writing, while maintaining the same therapeutic principles that guide his in-person practice.
