About Mark

Mark Stewart is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. He focuses on issues such as LGBT concerns, family conflict, grief and loss, career difficulties, depression, relationships and intimacy, parenting, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Mark has worked in the NHS and via an agency, providing in-person counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through difficult feelings and make practical changes. Sessions are straightforward and aim to help people clarify what matters to them and try new ways of managing problems.

In sessions he encourages open conversation about thoughts and feelings without judgement. He pays attention to both immediate worries and patterns that keep problems returning. That means practical steps some weeks and more reflective discussion in others.

People come for help after loss, conflict at home, problems at work or when low mood and anger make daily life harder. Mark will listen to what is most pressing and work with each person to set goals that fit their situation.

To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The process is designed to make the first step clear and manageable for someone who is ready to try talking with a counsellor.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit

Mark uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and can help with low mood, anxiety and anger by teaching new coping skills.

He also draws on straightforward, evidence-based counselling methods that involve exploring feelings, testing different ways of responding and setting short-term goals. These approaches suit people dealing with grief, relationship strain, career stress or changes in family life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that seem likely to help, and adjust them based on what the client finds useful. That means the work can change over time as priorities shift.

If you want remote work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer remote work that helps people maintain continuity of care while managing everyday commitments.
