About Mark

Mark Hewitson works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem and depression using conversational counselling and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of professional experience.

Mark offers straightforward, talk-based sessions where people can say what is on their mind. He focuses on clear listening and practical discussion of feelings and behaviours. Sessions aim to make difficult topics easier to name and to help people consider different ways of responding to them.

His work covers common relationship problems such as communication breakdowns, commitment worries and codependency. He also addresses attachment issues, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, and fatherhood concerns. For people facing long-term health issues he includes the emotional impact of chronic pain, illness and disability.

Mark supports people working through guilt, shame, isolation and emptiness, and those re-evaluating life purpose or facing a midlife crisis. He also has experience offering support around hospice and end-of-life matters.

Sessions are conducted in English and he practises in the United Kingdom. He asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire so a first session can be arranged and the work outlined. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on talking through patterns of thought and behaviour. One common approach he uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try out different responses; this suits anxiety, stress and low mood by providing practical steps to test and adjust reactions.

Another approach concentrates on relationships and attachment. It looks at how past patterns affect current connections and communication, helping people spot repeating dynamics and try clearer ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change as the work develops.

Practical benefits of working online can include fitting sessions around home and work life and making it easier to join from different places. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can use online sessions to provide regular check-ins, focused short sessions or longer weekly meetings depending on what the person needs.
