About Mark

Mark Hewitson is a counsellor with four years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, struggling with anxiety, or challenged by low self-esteem. He also supports those managing relationship and family tensions and people who are living with depression.

Mark aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can speak freely. He focuses on listening closely and helping people name what they are feeling.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and straightforward, with time to reflect and to plan small steps forward. People come to him for a range of issues, from communication problems and codependency to feelings of emptiness or midlife uncertainty. He has experience with fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and the emotional strain of chronic illness and hospice-related concerns.

These areas often link back to attachment patterns and how people relate to others. Mark works collaboratively, helping each person set realistic goals and decide what matters most to them. He encourages exploring thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of change, then testing new ways of coping.

Progress is paced to suit each individual's needs. Sessions can include shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on what a person needs that week. He aims to support people to build confidence, improve relationships, and find clearer purpose in their lives.

Focus areas and approaches

What Mark works with

Everything Mark lists, in their own terms.

Online support

Mark describes his work as practical and collaborative. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand patterns in their thinking and behaviour and then try new ways of coping. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small changes in thinking and behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. This can help with stress, depression and self-esteem issues. Another approach targets relationship and attachment patterns by looking at how early experiences shape current reactions and communication; this helps with codependency, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most useful. Sessions are shaped around the client's goals, pace and preferences so that the plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation similar to an in-person meeting. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
