Mark Rowden

I am available during the day on week days and can offer evenings if required.

I am a compassionate and calm therapist. I aim to build relationships with clients where they feel valued and have the space to grow and change. I have experience in working with adults with various issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, loss, relationship issues, stress and low self-esteem.

Life has many challenges and when we are struggling it is okay to seek help. I offer a chance to reflect on the difficulties or problems you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment, with someone from outside your day-to-day life. Together we can explore your situation in a way that leads to fresh perspectives – and perhaps a new understanding of yourself. Counselling isn’t about giving you solutions or advice, but empowering you to make your own changes.

It is my belief that we all have the capacity to change and that the therapeutic relationship built with the client is key to helping bring about personal growth and positive change.

As I believe each person is unique I work primarily with a person-centred approach which is at the core of my work. However as a qualified integrative counsellor I will draw on different theoretical models in order to provide a personalised approach.

I have a specialist interest in working with lawyers and other professionals having been a qualified lawyer myself. As such my experience supports me in providing therapy for these clients as I bring an awareness of professional life and the issues that they might be facing.

I offer both short – 6-12 weeks and long term face to face, online and telephone counselling.

 Face to face sessions are held in premises in Guildford. I will provide location details when we arrange the first session. Online sessions are held over Zoom. The sessions are 50 minutes long.

I enjoy working with adults of any age and from all backgrounds.

I appreciate it can seem overwhelming when looking for a counsellor especially if this is the first time you have considered counselling. Therefore to help I offer an initial 20 minutes session by telephone or Zoom. In this session we can discuss why you are considering counselling at this time and how you hope it will help. There will be no charge for this initial session.

Hopefully this initial session will give both of us an opportunity to get a sense of whether we feel we will be able to work together. It does take time to develop the client/counsellor relationship but it is very important that you feel that I'm someone that you will be comfortable working with.
