About Mark

Counsellor Mark Lowman is a BACP and NCPS registered practitioner working in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, anger and depression. He also works on career pressure and coping with life changes.

Mark uses straightforward, practical ways to work through problems. Sessions focus on talking things through, noticing patterns, and learning simple skills to manage strong feelings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred methods to reduce anxious thinking and improve everyday coping.

His background includes time in professional and corporate roles. That experience informs his understanding of workplace pressure, difficult team dynamics and career stuckness. He aims to help people bring clearer thinking to work problems and set realistic steps for change.

Mark also supports people dealing with trauma-related memories and intrusive thoughts. He uses emotion-focused approaches when relationships and attachment issues are central. He can discuss how different methods might suit a person's situation.

Practical matters are part of his work. Sessions can include skill practice, short exercises and reflection between meetings. He asks people to consider what they want from counselling, then adapts the work to match those goals and circumstances.

People meeting him for the first time will find brief assessments and joint discussion about aims and next steps. He works in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to notice thoughts and feelings without trying to fight them. It focuses on values and small committed actions, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises to reduce anxious thinking and change unhelpful habits, helpful for panic, worry and low mood. Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings and attachment patterns in relationships. It helps people name emotions and change how they respond to closeness or conflict.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms and preferences. Together they will choose methods to try and review how those methods are working over time.

If you are thinking about online counselling, check the session formats before you book to confirm what is offered. Online contact can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches suit short skill-based tasks, while others suit longer reflective sessions; Mark will help match the method and session style to practical needs and daily life.
