Mark Lowman, NCPS, BACP

Mark Lowman welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship pain, or the fallout from trauma. He is a BACP member and holds NCPS, and he aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Sessions are described as warm and supportive, with a focus on listening and offering everyday tools for coping.

He uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help reduce anxious thoughts and manage unhelpful behaviour patterns. He also draws on client-centred ways of working to make space for what matters to each person. These approaches are mixed with mindfulness practices to help with intrusive memories and intense emotions.

Mark has experience with issues linked to work life such as burnout, career stress and team pressures, because he previously worked in corporate settings. That background informs how he talks about performance anxiety and feeling stuck at work. He also supports people dealing with intimacy challenges and addictive behaviours including problematic sexual compulsions.

In sessions he aims to be practical. Expect to talk through what is happening now, try simple skills between meetings, and check what helps. He keeps language plain and focuses on steps you can use day to day.

With three years of practice, Mark combines therapeutic tools with an emphasis on understanding patterns and building confidence. He works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. If you want to find out more, follow the site's process to match and arrange a first appointment.

How Mark’s approaches can work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect what matters. It is often useful when anxiety, emptiness or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small experiments to test new ways of coping; this can help with anxiety, low mood and workplace stress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental listening style that allows someone to feel heard and to explore issues at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods and adjust them as needed. That way the work stays practical and tailored, rather than forcing a single technique on everyone.

The biography does not specify the exact session formats offered, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to maintain continuity of care this way and to practise new skills between sessions in everyday life.
