About Marc
Marc (Mac) McCormack offers calm, direct support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and life changes. He is based in the North-west of the United Kingdom and brings 14 years of counselling experience to sessions. Marc uses simple language and practical steps so conversations feel clear and useful from the first meeting.
Marc adapts his approach to each person’s needs. He works with approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy and mindfulness.
Background and approach
He prefers to agree a way of working together that the client feels comfortable with, and checks in about progress as therapy continues. In session he aims for straightforward discussion and shared planning. Topics he helps people address include grief, low mood, addictions, anger, body image and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
He also supports people dealing with more complex concerns such as attachment difficulties, dissociation, chronic health challenges and experiences of abuse or abandonment. Marc tries to respond to messages promptly and asks for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. He uses his BACP membership as the professional credential listed with his practice.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time and cost varies with location and availability.

How Marc works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marc will discuss options and try methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made if something isn’t helping.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins or phone-style conversations when that suits a person’s schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these benefits while focusing on the practical steps that help with symptoms and daily coping.
