About Mark
Mark Lowman is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor with three years' experience. He works with people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, and problems with mood or addictive behaviours. He offers straightforward, practical support and uses several evidence-informed methods to help clients manage difficult feelings.
Mark focuses on reducing anxious thoughts, panic, intrusive memories, and overwhelming emotions. Sessions involve talking through what is happening now, noticing patterns that keep problems going, and practising tools to cope day to day. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques alongside person-centred work and emotion-focused ideas to help people respond differently to stress.
He has experience of workplace pressures from earlier corporate roles and uses that understanding when people bring career stress or burnout. This background also informs how he supports those dealing with performance anxiety, difficult team dynamics, or feeling stuck in a job.
People often seek him out for help with confidence building, managing compulsive sexual behaviours, coping with relationship betrayals, or handling feelings of shame and guilt. He aims to break problems down into manageable steps and to teach practical skills that can be used outside sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and he works from the United Kingdom. For next steps, the site matching and booking process is used to arrange an initial appointment and plan the best way forward.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Mark uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in ways that are easy to understand. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and it supports actions that match personal values. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce anxious thinking and unhelpful habits.He also makes use of client-centred ideas, which prioritise listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. This helps people feel heard while deciding which tools to try. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process, and he works together with each person to find what fits their needs and goals.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session formats before booking. The benefits of remote sessions can include fitting appointments around work or family commitments, using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoiding travel time. The focus in sessions remains practical skill-building, emotional regulation and clearer communication, carried out in ways that suit everyday life.
