Mark Lewis

Hello, I’m Mark. I am a trainee therapist, studying at CPPD, a leading centre in humanistic integrative counselling. I’m a student member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, abiding by their ethical code of practice, which ensures that you will be well cared for. Previously I had a long and rewarding career in international development, living in Peru, India and Thailand, and working with people from diverse backgrounds, on programmes and projects that have helped people improve their lives.

I will provide the space for you to discuss the challenges you face, whatever they may be. We would work together to understand what you expect from therapy, what it is that you hope to achieve, taking account of the time and commitment that we have together. We can revisit these aims, as the therapy develops and understanding becomes clearer. With this framing in mind, I would draw on my background in the humanistic person-centred approach, bringing in psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural and other therapeutic approaches, depending on what is required, to support you in the changes you seek to your life. My wider philosophy is to encourage mindful living.
