Marcus Bowery, NCPS

Marcus Bowery is a UK-based therapist who combines Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with seven years of clinical practice. He balances his therapeutic work with teaching in a primary school and has maintained his own practice for the past seven years. Marcus focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship difficulties, rebuild motivation and self-esteem, and address career-related challenges.

Marcus approaches therapy from a collaborative stance, viewing each person as the expert on their own life. He supports clients in identifying existing strengths while introducing alternative, more helpful ways to understand emotional problems and pairing new perspectives with practical behavioral work. This blend of thought-focused and action-focused techniques aims to produce meaningful change in everyday functioning.

He holds the NCPS credential, which represents professional training and adherence to practice standards. Marcus recognizes the courage involved in seeking a more fulfilling life and frames his role as one of support and empowerment throughout the change process. Currently, in-person sessions are limited to Wednesdays and Fridays due to building work at his home office, with more availability expected to return in January.

Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy and flexible care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts while also introducing practical behavioral experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation or self-esteem.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy focuses on examining rigid beliefs that can fuel emotional distress and replacing them with more flexible, constructive perspectives. This approach is useful for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-critical thinking.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marcus works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and daily challenges, and together they decide which methods are likely to be the best fit. The therapist adapts techniques over time as needs change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and people living in different locations. These formats make it possible to maintain consistent support, try techniques between sessions, and access help without long commutes, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
