About Marc

Marc (Mac) McCormack is a counsellor based in the North-west of the United Kingdom. He has 14 years of professional experience and helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or grief. He also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy questions, eating and sleeping problems, addictions, and major life changes.

Marc uses a practical, conversational style. He listens first and helps clients pick approaches that feel right. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small steps they can try between meetings. The aim is to make therapy clear and manageable for people with busy lives.

His work draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused tools such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. He also offers hypnotherapy and mindfulness work where these fit the person’s goals. These methods are used to address issues like trauma, attachment concerns, body image and emotional regulation.

Marc is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. He accepts people from the UK and internationally and speaks English. Practical details such as session length, fees and how to book are handled through the service’s matching and scheduling steps.

He asks clients to give at least 24 hours notice for cancellations and aims to respond to messages promptly. People curious about working together are encouraged to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How Marc’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s preferences and experience at the heart of sessions. It involves open listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them choose what to try next. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps some people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marc will talk through what feels useful and adapt methods to fit the client’s goals and comfort level. He works with people to set aims, try techniques in session, and adjust plans as progress is made.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered online, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and help people access a therapist who is based elsewhere in the United Kingdom or internationally.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
