About Mark
Mark Hewitson is a counsellor with four years of professional experience. He works with people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low, and helps them make sense of relationship and family challenges. He is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) member.
Mark aims to create a calm atmosphere where people can speak honestly without feeling judged. He focuses on practical ways to reduce anxiety and lift mood, and on improving communication in relationships.
How Mark works
Sessions often involve talking through patterns that cause distress and trying new ways of responding. He supports people dealing with self-esteem problems, feelings of emptiness, and issues around commitment or codependency. Mark also works with concerns linked to chronic pain, long-term illness and hospice and end-of-life matters.
He offers help with fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and the sense of isolation that can come in midlife. His practice pays attention to attachment and personality-related difficulties such as avoidant or dependent traits. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online counselling
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and making small practical changes. One common approach looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact to keep anxiety or low mood going and uses conversation and simple exercises to shift those patterns. Another approach centres on attachment and relationship dynamics, helping people understand recurring ways of relating and teaching clearer communication and boundaries.Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss different approaches with each person and decide together which methods fit the problems, goals and personal style. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into life. Video calls allow a full conversational session similar to face-to-face meetings. Phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options help people access support from different places and at different times.
