About Mark

Mark Lowman works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction-related behaviours, anger and depression. He uses practical talking therapy approaches and day-to-day tools to help people manage symptoms and cope with life changes. Mark is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has three years' experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist.

Mark draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in his work. Sessions typically include talking through current difficulties, identifying unhelpful thinking or interaction patterns, and practising skills to reduce distress. He also uses hypnotherapy where appropriate to support specific goals.

Before training in counselling, Mark worked in professional and corporate settings. That background informs his understanding of workplace pressure, team dynamics and career stress. He uses that experience to help people with burnout, decision-making and work-related worry.

In sessions he aims to be straightforward and practical. He helps clients build confidence, manage intrusive thoughts and reduce emotional overwhelm. He also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties such as communication problems, infidelity and intimacy-related concerns.

Sessions are in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Mark does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches translate to remote counselling

Mark commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and practise actions that match those values, useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours, which can reduce worry, low mood and compulsive patterns.

He also draws on Client-Centred Therapy ideas, offering a conversational style where the client's perspective and pace guide each session. That approach helps people feel heard while they try out new ways of coping. Choosing the best approach is part of the work together - the counsellor will discuss options and adapt methods to the client's needs and goals in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter environment, depending on the format offered. Registered or accredited professionals will help you decide on frequency and a way of meeting that fits everyday life.
