Marcus Bowery, NCPS

Marcus Bowery welcomes people looking for practical help with anxiety, stress and life transitions. He is based in the United Kingdom and brings seven years of therapeutic experience to his work. Marcus aims to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build steps they can use in daily life.

He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, including ideas from Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) mentioned in his background, to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours together. Sessions often focus on shifting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes between meetings. Marcus encourages clients to treat themselves with curiosity rather than harsh judgement.

Marcus also supports people with relationship strain, confidence and career worries. He works with issues such as grief, sleep problems, anger and workplace stress. Additional areas he focuses on include attachment difficulties, OCD-type worries, panic, sexuality and fatherhood matters.

He describes the client as the expert in their own story and aims to offer clear, practical alternatives to stuck ways of thinking. Marcus combines idea-based work with behavioural tasks so people can test different approaches in real life. He teaches in a primary school alongside his practice, which informs his plainspoken style.

Current in-person sessions are offered on Wednesdays and Fridays when office space is available, and international clients may be accepted. Prospective clients should check the latest session options and times before booking.

How CBT ideas guide online therapy conversations

Marcus uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice links between thoughts, feelings and actions and to try small changes that make daily life easier. CBT work often includes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practising alternative ways of responding to stress, anxiety, obsessions or panic.

He also draws on Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy ideas to challenge rigid beliefs and to replace them with more flexible, useful thinking. This approach suits people who want straightforward tools and clear behavioural steps to test between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is something to do together. Marcus will discuss a client's goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that can be adapted as work progresses. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Practical benefits of online work should be confirmed before booking because session formats are not fully specified in the profile. Ask which formats are currently offered so you can pick what fits your routine. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work or childcare, and some prefer a shorter check-in when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange.
