Mark Lowman, NCPS, BACP

Mark Lowman is a registered psychotherapist with the BACP and NCPS, professional organisations for counselling and psychotherapy, offering a warm and practical approach to emotional and relational difficulties. He works with people experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, stress, low self-esteem, relationship strains, and pressures from the workplace, providing a space to be heard while also introducing everyday tools to manage symptoms.

Mark draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Internal Family Systems work, psychodynamic perspectives, and mindfulness-based techniques to ease anxious thoughts, intrusive memories, and intense emotions. He is also trained in the Rewind Technique for addressing trauma and post-traumatic stress, and often supports clients with confidence building, burnout, career-related stress, intimacy concerns, and compulsive sexual behaviours.

Prior to training as a therapist, Mark spent years working in professional and corporate environments, so he understands performance pressure, difficult team dynamics, and the experience of feeling stuck in a career. Whether the work focuses on self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, or repeated relationship patterns, he aims to offer a calm and respectful setting in which people can make sense of their experience and move toward greater balance and confidence.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and persistent stress.

Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead. This approach supports people who need space to explore feelings, build self-compassion, and strengthen self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative coping behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Mark will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend techniques over time to best support progress.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging add flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily routines. These options let clients connect with licensed professionals from their own setting while maintaining continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
