Mark Stewart, BACP

Mark Stewart is a United Kingdom-based therapist with six years of professional experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has worked within the NHS and through an agency, delivering both face-to-face counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

Over the course of his practice he has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including LGBT-related issues, family conflict, grief and loss, career difficulties, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles and coping with major life changes. His background in both counselling and CBT means he combines practical strategies with a focus on understanding the personal story behind each difficulty.

Mark aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. He recognises that taking the first step into therapy takes courage and offers steady, compassionate guidance to help clients move toward their goals and cope with the challenges they bring.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Mark Stewart commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and evidence-based talk counselling in his online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, which can be useful for depression, anxiety and coping with life transitions. Talk-based counselling provides a space to explore feelings, relationships and personal history, helping clients process grief, family conflict and issues around identity and intimacy.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Mark works with each person to tailor techniques to their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made and priorities evolve. This joint approach helps ensure the work feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to access support across locations. Registered professionals and therapists can provide consistent care through these formats, helping clients maintain momentum and access help when and where it suits them best.
