About Mark
Mark McGinney uses a client-centred approach to help people untangle difficult feelings and find clearer direction. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, grief and loss. He has 15 years of experience and works from the United Kingdom, offering sessions in English, including to international clients.
He focuses on practical support for low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. He also helps people facing work and career pressures, sleep and eating problems, addictions, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar presentations.
Background and approach
Intimacy-related issues, relationship concerns and family topics are also common themes in his work. Clients can expect a gentle, listening-led style that prioritises their perspective. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps clarify values and goals.
This kind of way of working can be useful for people dealing with shame, guilt, abandonment or attachment questions. Mark also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, panic and phobias, impulse control difficulties, and complex issues such as gender dysphoria or non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
He pays attention to the practical impact of problems on everyday life and aims to help clients build coping routines. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
Fees vary depending on location and the subscription model in use.

Approaches Mark lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
That way of working can be paired with practical conversation about coping strategies and everyday routines. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person’s needs and preferences. Finding the best approach is part of the work together rather than being decided up front by the counsellor.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual contact helps build rapport, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or differing daily rhythms and can reduce the time spent on travelling to appointments.
