About Mark

Mark Stewart is a counsellor with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are dealing with depression, grief, relationship or intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem. He also supports people facing career pressures, parenting strain, anger, family conflict and challenges related to LGBT identity.

Mark has experience delivering therapy in NHS settings and through agency work. He has worked both face to face and using cognitive behavioural therapy, which means he often focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.

Background and approach

In sessions he aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, with time spent on understanding what is causing distress and what can be done next. He encourages small, manageable steps that fit each person's life.

Mark believes the first step into therapy takes courage and treats that step with respect. He listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the work to their goals. If you want straightforward, goal-focused support for life changes, relationships, or day-to-day coping, he offers a clear, steady approach.

Background and approach includes a mix of practical problem solving and emotional support. Sessions can combine talking, planning and short exercises to try between meetings. His prior work in the NHS and in agencies gives him familiarity with a range of concerns and ways of working.

Approaches that inform online counselling

Marked by direct, practical work, cognitive behavioural techniques focus on spotting and changing thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, low mood and many everyday struggles because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Alongside practical techniques, sessions also include person-centred listening that makes space for feelings and life context. This helps with grief, relationship and identity concerns by allowing someone to be heard while also finding realistic next steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose what fits. Together the client and counsellor will set goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and surroundings permit. Phone sessions suit people who prefer a simpler connection or have limited internet. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between meetings or have shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
