Mark Lowman, NCPS, BACP

Mark Lowman is a BACP and NCPS registered psychotherapist who offers a warm, practical approach to managing anxiety, panic, OCD, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and workplace pressures. He provides a calm, respectful space where people can be heard while also learning tools to use day to day.

Mark draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centred methods, psychodynamic ideas, internal family systems elements, and mindfulness-based tools to address anxious thoughts, intrusive memories, and overwhelming emotions. He is also trained in the Rewind Technique for trauma and PTSD, which some people find helpful for processing distressing memories. Many seek his support for confidence building, burnout, career stress, intimacy concerns, or addictive behaviours including porn, sex, and masturbation compulsions.

Before training as a therapist, Mark worked in professional and corporate settings and understands the pressures of performance, difficult team dynamics, and feeling stuck in a career. He works collaboratively to help people make sense of self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, and repeated relationship patterns, supporting steps toward greater balance and confidence. His registrations with NCPS and BACP indicate that he is recognised by professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Mark uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties. He also works with client-centred principles, creating a non-judgmental, empathetic space where the person s own goals and pace guide the work, which can be especially helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and emotional exploration. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach he draws on - ACT focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility so people can act in ways that matter to them even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mark collaborates with each person to select and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and he reviews progress together to refine the approach over time.

Online therapy with Mark is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit work and life commitments. These options make it easier to access regular support without travel, allow for varied communication styles, and can be scheduled to suit changing availability and day-to-day demands.
