About Mark

Mark Lowman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and relationship problems. He offers a warm, practical style that aims to make therapy feel manageable on busy days. Mark uses everyday language and tools to help clients cope with intense feelings and recurring patterns.

He draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). These methods are used to reduce anxious thoughts, manage intrusive memories, and build skills for handling tough moments. Mark also uses hypnotherapy techniques as part of his work.

Mark has three years of clinical experience and holds NCPS and BACP credentials. He previously worked in professional and corporate settings and uses that experience to relate to workplace pressures and career stress. Many people come to him for help with burnout, confidence building, intimacy concerns, addictive behaviours, and coping with life changes.

Sessions focus on listening first, then giving practical steps and exercises clients can try between meetings. The emphasis is on collaboration - deciding together what helps and adapting the approach if needed.

People who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Sessions are carried out in English and international clients are not accepted.

How Mark blends evidence-based approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone towards a life they care about, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, often helping with panic, low mood and workplace stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional patterns that shape close relationships. It helps people track what they feel, name it, and try different ways of responding when attachment or intimacy issues come up.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and try approaches collaboratively. That means adapting techniques, pacing and homework to match each person's goals and life circumstances.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit around busy days, make it easier to check in between work commitments, or allow shorter appointments when needed. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements suit your routine.
