Mark Lowman
Practical, calm therapy for anxiety and life strain
About Mark
Mark Lowman offers straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and problems that affect daily life. He introduces practical tools and listens without judgement. Mark aims to help clients feel steadier and more able to cope with whatever they are facing.
He works in a warm, calm style that focuses on what helps in everyday life. Sessions include talking things through and practising simple techniques to manage panic, intrusive memories, difficult emotions and unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
He also helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, addictive behaviours, career pressure and major life changes. Mark trained as a psychotherapist and holds NCPS and BACP credentials. NCPS refers to the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
He has three years' experience in therapeutic work. Prior to counselling, Mark worked in professional and corporate settings. That background gives him a clear sense of workplace stress, team conflict and career pressures.
He draws on that experience when helping clients who want to manage job-related strain or rebuild confidence at work. Therapy sessions combine practical techniques with a person-focused approach. Methods used include cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, emotionally-focused work and dialectical skills.
The aim is to help people change patterns, feel less overwhelmed and build more satisfying ways of coping. Sessions are offered in English and take place online via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Mark works with people in the United Kingdom and does not take international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Mark uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and supports working towards valued goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment patterns to help people understand their feelings and improve connection and emotional processing.Deciding on the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences and current difficulties. Plans may combine elements from different approaches so therapy feels practical and relevant.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussing complex issues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief check-ins or want greater flexibility during the week. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work and daily life while keeping continuity with ongoing therapeutic work.
