About Mark

Mark Lowman welcomes people who are feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. He presents a calm, down-to-earth presence and aims to make sessions practical. Mark’s style is warm and supportive while offering tools that can be used day to day to manage stress and improve confidence.

He helps with anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, low self-esteem and workplace pressures. Relationship and intimacy issues are also frequent topics, as are addictive behaviours and burnout. Mark works with people facing life changes, loss of direction, and feelings of isolation.

Mark is registered with NCPS and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. He brings three years of professional counselling experience and an earlier background in corporate settings. That background informs his understanding of job stress, difficult team dynamics and career uncertainty.

In sessions he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centred approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. The focus is on noticing patterns, learning practical skills and testing small changes between meetings.

People who work with him can expect straightforward conversation, practical coping strategies and a space to make sense of repeated patterns. If you are looking to build confidence, manage anxiety, or handle relationship and intimacy challenges, Mark aims to help you take clear next steps.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and making values-based choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with panic, obsessive thoughts and workplace stress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding, offering a respectful space for people to find their own solutions and increase self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try different ways of working together. Decisions about methods are collaborative and shaped by what the person needs and prefers.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy life, as they can remove travel time and make it easier to attend from different locations. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins between face-to-face sessions and make it simpler to schedule around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals will work with you to choose pace, frequency and practical arrangements that suit your routine.
