About Marc
Marc (Mac) McCormack offers straightforward, practical counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and low mood. He explains things plainly and helps people find workable steps for everyday life. He is based in the United Kingdom and brings 14 years of experience to his practice.
Marc is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated BACP. Marc keeps sessions focused and clear. He listens first, then works with each person to shape a plan that fits their needs.
Background and approach
He uses approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, EMDR, hypnotherapy and mindfulness in ways that match the person he is supporting. People contact Marc for common concerns like sleep problems, eating issues, anger or relationship and intimacy-related worries.
He also supports people coping with chronic pain, illness or disability, caregiver stress, separation and grief, and difficulties linked to attachment or abandonment. In sessions Marc may help identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical exercises to change them. He also offers trauma-focused methods to work through distressing memories when that is appropriate.
Hypnotherapy and mindfulness can be used to reduce stress and improve self-awareness. Marc accepts people from the UK and internationally and works online by video or phone, as well as through chat and text messaging. He asks for reasonable notice if a session must be cancelled.
To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and books a session that fits their schedule.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc will discuss different methods and agree a path that fits the person's goals, preferences and the issues they bring. The plan can change as work progresses, and he aims to make choices together with the person he is supporting.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel, while keeping continuity of care with the same therapist.
