About Marc

Marc (Mac) McCormack is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. He works with individuals facing depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges around self-esteem and intimacy. Marc greets clients in a straightforward way and aims to find practical steps together that fit day-to-day life.

He bases his work on approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and also uses EMDR, hypnotherapy and mindfulness when appropriate. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of him, and he adapts methods to match each person’s needs and goals. Marc has 14 years of experience in the mental health field and holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as his professional credential.

In practice he aims to be responsive to messages and asks for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. His style is pragmatic and collaborative - clients talk through what they want to change, try small steps between sessions, and review progress together. He accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom.

People who choose Marc can expect clear language, focused sessions, and a willingness to try different methods until a good fit is found. He encourages questions early on and supports people as they work through trauma, grief, or the stresses of everyday life.

How Marc uses therapy methods online

Marc uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s concerns and pace. This means conversations focus on what the client chooses to bring, and the counsellor reflects and supports personal goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method he may use to address distressing memories and their impact in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc will discuss options and decide together which methods match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative decision helps shape sessions and the pace of progress.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people choose remote counselling for practical reasons - it can fit around work or family commitments, cut travel time, and make it easier to attend more consistently. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or reduce the need to be on camera depending on the chosen format. Ask about available scheduling and how sessions will be arranged to make sure they suit daily routines and goals.
