About Marcus
Marcus Bowery is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. He focuses on common pressures such as stress and anxiety, and helps people who are struggling with relationships, self-esteem, career concerns and life transitions. Marcus aims to make the first step feel manageable by offering clear, straightforward support and practical tools.
He uses cognitive behavioural approaches to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of acting.
Background and approach
Sessions often mix talk with small behavioural tasks to test new ideas in everyday life. Marcus encourages clients to build on their existing strengths rather than starting from scratch. His work covers a wide range of issues including grief, sleeping problems, anger, parenting strains, LGBT questions, and workplace difficulties.
He also supports people dealing with obsessional thoughts, panic attacks, attachment concerns and feelings of isolation. Marcus recognises how abandonment, adoption or separation can affect day-to-day wellbeing and addresses those themes directly in sessions. Marcus holds the NCPS credential and combines his counselling work with teaching in a primary school.
He accepts clients from the UK and internationally and offers sessions in English. He aims to keep sessions practical, with clear goals and steps you can use between meetings. People who choose him typically want straightforward, goal-focused support.
He works collaboratively to set aims, try new strategies and review progress over time.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Marcus uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT focuses on changing thinking patterns and behaviour in small steps, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, obsessions and low mood. It often includes homework tasks so new skills can be practised between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marcus will discuss your goals, test out strategies and adapt the plan as you go. He aims to be collaborative, checking what helps and changing direction when needed so the approach fits practical life demands.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you have a face-to-face session when you can use a quieter space. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in more frequently or to fit a short session into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
