About Marc

Marc (Mac) McCormack helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He offers a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing and person-centred work. Marc is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years' experience.

Marc works in a straightforward way. He listens to what matters most and discusses treatment options with each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and on building skills to cope with day-to-day difficulties. He aims to respond to messages promptly and asks for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations.

In sessions he may use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and EMDR to address distress linked to specific memories. He also uses person-centred methods to keep conversations focused on the client's priorities and perspective.

Marc has specific experience supporting people with eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and coping with life changes. He also addresses issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. He works with matters related to BDSM, kink and alternative sexual cultures when these are part of the presenting concerns.

Clients can expect clear options discussed together and a plan based on their goals. Marc is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client, helping them to find their own solutions and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with distress linked to specific memories, using structured processing to reduce emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss the methods that suit the client's needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins where needed. They can also help when quieter surroundings or not being on camera are preferable. When arranging sessions, check format, length and practical arrangements with the counsellor in advance.
