About Mark
Mark Walker welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. He invites straightforward conversation so you can sort through what matters. His style is calm and steady, with practical attention to the things that make life harder right now.
Mark uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person at the heart of therapy. Sessions focus on listening, reflection and helping people find their own direction. He avoids giving direct instructions and prefers to support clients to reach their own decisions when they are ready.
Background and approach
He has five years of formal counselling experience and works from values of compassion, acceptance and respect. Before training as a counsellor he spent many years teaching, and he brings that background into how he explains ideas simply and clearly. He describes the therapy space as one where people can speak freely and be met without judgement.
Mark lives in Liverpool in the North West of the United Kingdom and is a BACP counsellor. He draws on life experience alongside his professional work to connect with people in a human, down-to-earth way. Conversations can cover relationship issues, stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and difficulties with self-esteem, among other concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to people outside the UK. Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental listening style. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance and helps people reflect on their feelings and choices. This approach is well suited to issues such as low self-esteem, grief, relationship worries and general life stress where understanding and acceptance are important.Online sessions work the same way as in-person meetings but use conversation and reflection via remote formats. The therapist focuses on what matters to the person and helps them shape goals and next steps. Deciding which way of working fits best is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss options and adapt the style to fit the client's needs and preferences.
Practical benefits of online therapy include flexibility and easier fitting of sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more frequent, brief contact. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, family or travel commitments.
