About Marc

Marc (Mac) McCormack is a counsellor who aims to help men looking to improve their wellbeing. He is based in the North-west of the United Kingdom and works in English. Marc has 14 years' experience in mental health and uses a range of approaches to suit each person’s needs.

Clients often come with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief or trouble sleeping, and Marc offers straightforward support for these issues. He also works with addiction, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, eating and body-image problems, and responses to trauma and abuse. He listens to what matters most and discusses treatment options together.

Marc draws on client-centred counselling to put the person’s goals first. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, hypnotherapy and mindfulness approaches when these fit a client’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways of thinking and feeling.

He asks for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel appointments and aims to reply to messages promptly. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. International clients are accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-centred counselling places the person’s experience at the heart of the sessions. The therapist listens, reflects and helps you set the goals that matter most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical tools to change unhelpful habits and manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to help process memories linked to traumatic events and reduce the intensity of distress tied to those memories.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Marc will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean using one approach or combining elements from different methods over time.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are used. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings and avoid being on camera if they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions a flexible way to maintain continuity of care across locations.
