Mark Owen Counselling and Psychotherapy - Manchester

David Holden

Mark provides a safe space for what may be difficult discussions. It was very easy to open up without fear of judgement.

I always found Marks guidance and support helpful, turning the focus onto myself and how I can manage my symptoms.

I was able to choose in-person or online sessions which was helpful around a busy schedule

I couldn't recommend Mark enough if you are looking for counselling/therapy

Throughout my counselling I found Mark very professional,pleasant and thorough.
When serious subjects were discussed I felt totally safe and confident in his guidance and treatment.At times the conversation was light hearted and funny which helped me relax during my sessions.

I sought counselling after suffering a bereavment and struggling with sever anxiety. I found the sessions very beneficial and they have helped me a lot. Mark went through a thorough assessment, with support along the way. We looked at different options to build better coping mechanisms with a number of different options ro explore. Mark provided a non judgemental environment and allowed me the space to process my thoughts, he offered insight where appropriate and allowed me to pace and lead the session, while providing guidance throughout. It was a pleasure working with Mark.

Fantastic. Mark has been my therapist for the last 2.5 years and has been a key part of my personal development on topics ranging from health to relationships. He is an excellent, non-judgemental listener who has made me feel comfortable sharing sensitive thoughts and feelings, and in doing so has helped me vocalise and work though some of my most difficult obstacles. He will challenge me where appropriate, helping me see other perspectives, and empowers me to become a better version of myself. Can't recommend him highly enough!

Mark is a quite professional therapist. We have had therapy together for almost 2 years and recently closed our sessions because my problem has been more or less fixed. In the past 22 months, Mark has always been very patient. His program was very systematic, from preparation to the actually therapeutic sessions, I always knew what to do and how to cope with unexpected problems because Mark gave me useful suggestions. Psychotherapy is a process which no one can give an exact estimate of how much time to be spent. I had doubts in between but in the end the program worked out so I am happy. I would recommend anyone who is hesitating whether to go to Mark to at least give a try. It is likely that the result turns out to be good.

Initially, my partner (who I will refer to as M) was having sessions with Mark due to his psychosexual issues. As these issues impacted on me, I then met separately with Mark as he gathered in depth information from me about my past and present. Once this process was complete, M and I began couple's counselling with Mark.
Although M and I had difficult issues to work through, painful at times in fact, I found Mark compassionate and fair. His positive regard for us both as individuals, as well as a couple, was exemplary.
Mark helped M and I navigate through many 'dark days of the soul' and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Thank you Mark, for everything. TH
