Marc (Mac) McCormack, BACP

Marc (Mac) McCormack offers straightforward counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and changes that feel overwhelming. He is easy to reach and aims to make sessions feel practical and focused. Marc has 14 years of experience and works in English with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

He uses approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy and mindfulness. Marc prefers to agree a way of working with each person. Together they choose techniques that match the issue and the person’s goals.

Sessions typically involve talking through difficulties, trying short exercises, and checking what helps between meetings. He will explain what to expect from methods like CBT or EMDR in plain language and adapt the pace to suit the client. Messages sent between sessions are usually answered as soon as possible.

Marc asks for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. Costs vary by location and availability. The practical steps to begin are straightforward and guided through the site process.

People who want a direct, no-nonsense counsellor who mixes talking therapies with mindful and practical tools may find his style useful. Marc focuses on steady progress and clear options rather than jargon or long academic explanations.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The counsellor gives space for you to tell your story and helps you find your own solutions, which can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It includes short exercises and practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, often helping with stress, depression and anxiety.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps when past events continue to cause distress. It involves a structured process to lessen the emotional impact of traumatic memories and reduce ongoing symptoms.

Finding the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will discuss the options, explain what each method involves, and decide with the client which route to try first based on their goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations, phone sessions can fit around busy days or lower bandwidth, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between appointments. This mix lets people keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
