Mark Hewitson, BACP

Mark Hewitson is a counsellor with four years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. He aims to create a calm space where someone can talk about what matters without feeling judged.

Mark meets people where they are and works at a steady, practical pace. He listens to personal stories about family strain, communication problems and struggles with confidence. He also helps people facing chronic pain, illness or the emotions that come with end-of-life planning.

In sessions he focuses on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. Conversations can cover attachment and codependency patterns, overcoming avoidance, and making sense of guilt or emptiness. He pays attention to how everyday habits and relationships shape wellbeing.

People often come wanting help with fatherhood issues, midlife questions or feeling isolated. Mark aims to support practical changes, such as improving communication or setting healthier boundaries. He encourages exploring life purpose and rebuilding motivation at a pace that feels right.

He works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. Mark describes counselling as a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide each session. The first few meetings focus on understanding concerns and agreeing clear, realistic goals.

Approaches that shape online counselling

Mark describes his work using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clear conversations. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful patterns in relationships and communication, then try different ways of interacting to improve connection and reduce conflict. Another common strand explores feelings like guilt, shame or emptiness and helps someone build more self-compassion and steadier self-worth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to personal concerns, suggest options, and agree together which ways of working to try. Clients’ goals and preferences help shape the pace and focus of sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also help when quieter surroundings or reduced visual demands are preferable. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist so sessions suit your routine and needs.
