Marc (Mac) McCormack, BACP

Marc (Mac) McCormack welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or difficult life changes. He introduces himself plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Marc uses straightforward language and practical support in sessions.

Marc has 14 years of experience in the mental health field and works from the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. He describes a flexible approach and discusses treatment options with each person.

In practice Marc offers several ways to approach difficult memories and strong emotions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, hypnotherapy and mindfulness alongside a client-centred style. He explains what each option involves and how it might help before trying anything new.

Sessions focus on the person in front of him and the problems they bring. Marc helps people set simple, achievable goals and tries to answer messages promptly. He asks for at least 24 hours' notice if someone needs to cancel.

His work covers a wide range of concerns including addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic pain and caregiver stress. He also supports people coping with dissociation, abandonment, attachment and personality-related struggles.

How Marc’s approaches translate to online work

Marc commonly uses client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural therapy and EMDR in his work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and helping someone find their own solutions, which can help with low self-esteem, life decisions and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and strong emotional reactions to reduce their intensity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marc will discuss different methods and help decide what fits a person's goals, needs and preferences. He checks in as treatment progresses and adapts techniques where needed rather than following a fixed plan.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, or have a shorter check-in when time is limited. It also allows people in different places to connect with a registered or accredited professional and to continue work even when circumstances change.
