About Marc
Marc (Mac) McCormack is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and life changes. Marc also focuses on areas such as attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, and matters connected to alternative sexual cultures like BDSM and kink.
He uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. Marc will talk through what you want to work on and suggest practical options such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR or client-centred counselling. Sessions aim to break down problems into manageable steps and build everyday coping skills.
Marc describes a collaborative process. He listens first, then offers techniques suited to the issue and the person. For trauma-related memories he may suggest EMDR; for thinking patterns that cause distress he may draw on CBT; for times when people need to be heard he uses a client-centred approach.
He has worked in mental health for many years across different roles, which informs a flexible way of working. Marc tries to respond to messages promptly and asks for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
If you are facing the pressures of early adulthood - leaving home, first jobs, relationships or feeling behind - Marc helps people name the problem and take practical steps forward. To begin, follow the platform prompts to match and book a first session.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Marc commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR as part of his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood; it is useful when someone needs to talk through feelings and make sense of their experience. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and the way they are held in the body and mind.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend or try approaches together. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the exact options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into study, shifts or busy weeks because you do not need to travel and can schedule shorter check-ins where needed. It also allows for continuity if someone moves or travels internationally. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and grounding techniques to work well over distance, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements when you book your first session.
