Mark Hewitson, BACP

Mark Hewitson is a counsellor with four years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem concerns. He also helps with relationship and family matters and the everyday struggles that can wear people down.

He aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk honestly about their thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and finding realistic steps forward. He encourages practical changes that fit each person’s life.

Mark often works with issues connected to attachment, avoidant and dependent patterns, and codependency. He also supports people facing chronic illness, pain, end-of-life concerns, fatherhood challenges, and the feelings that come with midlife reassessment. That range helps him notice how different parts of life influence mood and relationships.

Conversations are collaborative and direct. He listens and asks questions to help clarify patterns, then looks at options for change. The emphasis is on small, achievable shifts rather than dramatic overnight fixes.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Evidence-based techniques and online counselling

Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand feelings and make practical changes. One common approach focuses on recognising unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and trying small experiments to test new ways of responding. This can help with anxiety, low mood and everyday stressors. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns to see how past connections shape current relationships and communication, which can help with trust, closeness and boundary issues.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try different methods and adjust what’s needed. That collaborative stance aims to match techniques to the client’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows conversations to continue while managing long-term health issues or caring responsibilities. Many registered or accredited professionals find that, when chosen to suit the person’s situation, online therapy can be a practical way to make regular progress.
