Mark Nuttall , NCPS

Mark Nuttall is a registered psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with more than 20 years of professional experience. He brings a thoughtful, dialogue-based approach to therapy that places attention on clients' feelings, thoughts, and concerns as the starting point for psychological movement and change. He works with people over variable timeframes, offering shorter-term counselling when appropriate and longer-term psychotherapy when deeper exploration is needed.

Mark offers sessions to Better Help clients via an audio-visual format only, and does not provide text or phone sessions through that service. His practice combines conversational engagement with moments of quiet reflection to help clients absorb and weigh up their difficulties. Therapy with him involves in-depth exploration, tailored to each individual and paced according to what the person requires.

He holds the NCPS credential, a professional psychotherapeutic qualification that reflects formal training and experience in the field. Mark emphasises that therapy is not simply a set of techniques seeking instant cures; instead, it creates a professionally boundaried relationship in which a person can investigate themselves and their relationships with others. He has particular experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, intimacy-related concerns, and coping with life changes, and he values the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling life.

Dialogic and Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Mark blends dialogue-focused therapy with evidence-based techniques to support clients online. His dialogue-based approach centres on open conversation about feelings and thoughts, helping people develop insight into their patterns and relationships and making it useful for issues like intimacy concerns and relationship difficulties. He also uses structured evidence-based techniques that draw on research-backed methods to address problems such as stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, and depressive symptoms.

Deciding which approach will work best is a collaborative process. Mark works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and the nature of their concerns, then tailors the combination of exploratory dialogue and targeted techniques to suit their needs and pace.

Online therapy with Mark can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support without travel, allow continuity when life circumstances change, and let clients choose the format that helps them engage most effectively with therapy.
