About Marcus
Marcus Bowery welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or low self-esteem. He is named up front so visitors know who they will be reading about. Marcus writes plainly and helps people take practical steps when life feels stuck.
Marcus draws on seven years of clinical experience and a National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society accreditation, NCPS. He works with a wide range of concerns including workplace pressure, parenting strains, grief, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and issues linked to sexuality.
Background and approach
His approach aims to connect everyday thinking and behaviour with real changes in mood and functioning. In sessions Marcus uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to spot patterns that keep problems going. He encourages short practical experiments to test new ways of coping.
That might mean trying different routines to sleep better, rehearsing conversations to ease social anxiety, or breaking big problems into small steps for career and life changes. Marcus believes people already have strengths to build on, and he focuses on making those strengths clearer and more useful. He offers a calm, goal-focused style that balances challenge with support.
Parents reading on a phone will find concise, easy-to-follow guidance rather than jargon. Marcus divides his time between therapy work and teaching in a primary school. He aims to help people identify realistic goals and keep progress moving with homework tasks and regular review.
The work is practical, collaborative and paced to the person's needs.

Approaches Marcus lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Sessions are collaborative and goal-led. Marcus will work with each person to choose which techniques suit their needs, then try them in short practical steps. Deciding the right approach is part of the work and will be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let conversations feel close to in-person work, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. Together these formats make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
