About Mark
Mark Stewart welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. He offers calm, practical support for common life challenges. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at helping people make small, useful changes.
He has six years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Much of his background includes face-to-face counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy work within the NHS and through an agency.
Background and approach
That experience shaped his preference for clear goals and step-by-step approaches. Mark has helped people with LGBT concerns, grief and loss, family conflict, career difficulties and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also supports people handling anger, low self-esteem and wider coping with life changes.
In sessions he focuses on what is most troubling right now and practical ways forward. His style is open and non-judgemental. He encourages people to speak freely about their thoughts and feelings and works at a pace that suits each person.
Together he and the client agree on the direction and tasks between sessions. Mark aims to make starting therapy straightforward. He explains options clearly and helps people choose approaches that fit their needs.
Small steps and regular check-ins guide progress over time.

How therapy techniques work online
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach is cognitive behavioural methods, which help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try out new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. Another approach emphasises structured talking and problem-solving to manage grief, relationship strain or career stress and find step-by-step ways forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client and therapist review what helps and adjust as needed.
Online sessions can be run via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to match different needs. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around life and help people access therapy from different locations.
