Marcus Bowery helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. He works with individuals concerned about relationships, self esteem, career decisions and parenting strain. Marcus speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Marcus draws on seven years of clinical experience and a National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society registration, NCPS. He treats problems by looking at thoughts, feelings and behaviours together.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce distress and build coping skills that fit everyday life. In therapy Marcus encourages clients to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours between sessions. He uses simple exercises and goal-setting so progress can be tracked.

The work is collaborative - he helps people identify small, realistic changes that add up over time. Marcus also supports people dealing with grief, sleep problems, anger and issues tied to identity and sexuality. He pays attention to family-related concerns such as attachment, fatherhood and separation, while keeping conversations focused on the individual’s experience.

Sessions are offered online and across different formats to suit varied schedules. Marcus aims to create an approachable space where people can talk honestly, learn practical strategies and take steady steps toward feeling better.

How CBT and online work come together

Marcus uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It helps with anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, mood dips and work-related stress by teaching practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions usually include short exercises and homework so changes carry over into daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marcus will talk through goals, try approaches that fit the person’s preferences and adjust plans together. The aim is to agree on clear steps and measure progress in a way that feels useful to the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy or remote lives. Video calls let conversations feel close to an in-person session. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support or slower-paced reflection between longer sessions.

These formats make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family commitments and to continue therapy while travelling or living abroad. Marcus combines CBT techniques with the format that suits each person’s routine and needs.
