About Vince
Vince McCumisky is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD, grief, career questions, and issues related to identity and LGBT matters.
Vince keeps conversations straightforward and respectful. He listens to what matters to each person and adapts sessions to practical goals. Sessions are used to talk through current problems, learn coping strategies, and try out new ways of handling difficult feelings.
His approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to focus on symptoms and day-to-day functioning. He aims to help people reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and navigate transitions like leaving home, changing jobs, or relationship upheaval. Practical exercises and real-world tasks are often part of the work.
Vince has supported people with complex histories, including trauma, attachment-related problems, and issues connected to adoption or caregiving. He also addresses physical health impacts such as chronic pain or illness when they affect mental health. His background includes work with a range of concerns across mood, behaviour, and interpersonal stress.
For those new to counselling, Vince asks about current challenges, what has helped before, and the goals for sessions. He uses that information to propose a way forward and checks in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.
Approaches Vince uses and how online work fits
Vince practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present symptoms and practical change. One common method emphasises identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing out alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. This approach helps with worry, avoidance, and everyday stressors.Another approach he may use concentrates on developing skills for emotional regulation and coping after trauma or loss. It involves learning grounding and breathing practices, plus step-by-step plans for managing strong feelings and improving sleep and daily routines.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will ask about your immediate needs, goals, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together you agree a plan and review progress, changing course if something is not helpful.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into study or work schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people who live abroad to work with registered professionals in the UK without a commute.
