About Marc
Marc (Mac) McCormack is a counsellor based in the North-west of the United Kingdom. He has fourteen years of experience in the mental health field and speaks English. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress and grief, among other concerns, and accepts international clients.
Marc keeps sessions straightforward and person-centred. He lets people describe what feels most urgent and chooses practical ways to help. That may mean talking through unhelpful thoughts, practising grounding and mindfulness, or using memory-focused methods for trauma.
Background and approach
His background includes long experience in mental health settings across the region. Marc lists Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy and mindfulness approaches among the ways he works. He matches techniques to what a person needs rather than using one fixed method.
In conversation he focuses on clear goals and small steps. Sessions typically look at what is causing distress now and what changes would feel manageable. Marc encourages practical coping strategies for sleep, eating, anger and daily stressors alongside deeper work on attachment or past trauma when needed.
People can connect by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. He aims to respond to messages promptly and asks for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel a session. The counsellor is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Online support
He also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for memories that continue to cause distress. EMDR works with recalling upsetting memories while gently engaging the senses, which can help reduce the intensity of those memories over time. These approaches are chosen together with the person, so the therapy fits each person's goals, pace and comfort level.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, written reflection or flexible scheduling. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel or daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
