Mark Lowman, NCPS, BACP

Mark Lowman welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship strain or problems at work. He presents a calm, respectful approach that aims to make daily life more manageable. Mark uses straightforward language and practical tools in sessions so people can try things between meetings.

He has three years of experience and holds NCPS and BACP credentials. This background is paired with a career history in professional and corporate settings, which informs his understanding of workplace pressure and team dynamics. That experience helps him relate to stress linked to performance and career uncertainty.

In therapy Mark combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and a client-centred way of working. He also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas where they fit the client's needs. Sessions focus on reducing anxious thoughts, managing intrusive memories and finding practical steps to reduce overwhelm.

People often come for help with low self-esteem, burnout, intimacy issues, addictions and patterns that keep repeating in relationships. He also supports those dealing with bereavement, abandonment, attachment questions, body image and shame. Work might include learning new coping skills, practising different ways of communicating, and testing small changes between sessions.

Mark offers a warm, supportive space and tries to balance listening with concrete tools. He encourages collaboration so people can set realistic goals and build confidence over time.

How therapy approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It can help people stuck by anxiety or avoidance by shifting the focus from fighting thoughts to living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and express feelings connected to close relationships, so it can be useful when intimacy or attachment issues are causing distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mark will talk with clients about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be adapted as needs change over time.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use practical exercises and worksheets between sessions so progress can continue day to day.
