About Mark
Mark Callaway is a UK counsellor who helps people struggling with sleep problems alongside many other concerns. He aims to make sessions practical and straightforward for people juggling work, family and health issues. He presents as calm and direct, offering short or longer-term support and flexible appointment times, often in the evenings.
With 15 years of clinical experience and a BACP membership, he has worked across a range of settings. His background includes work in residential childcare, safeguarding, substance misuse services and community mental health. He also practises as a social worker in adult mental health and has extensive experience with complex trauma.
Mark uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and routines, and on emotionally focused and attachment-based ways of working to help repair relationships and increase emotional understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take manageable steps towards it.
He supports people with sleep and rest difficulties alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship and parenting concerns. He also works with issues such as grief, chronic illness, bipolar, ADHD and body image, and with those affected by adoption or care histories.
Sessions have been offered in several formats including face-to-face, walking therapy, video, telephone and instant messaging. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online working
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose small actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, mood and sleep difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to change patterns that keep problems going, for example unhelpful sleep routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, and can help with intimacy, grief and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, try an approach for a few sessions and adapt based on how well it meets goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Session formats listed in the original biography include face-to-face, walking therapy, video, telephone and instant messaging, but prospective clients should confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online or remote options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - for example a video session can replace travel time, a telephone call can be a shorter check-in, and instant messaging can help maintain contact between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to support steady progress and to adapt sessions to everyday routines.
