About Mark
Mark McGinney offers a warm, client-centred approach to therapy. He focuses on helping people talk through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and career concerns. He aims to make sessions simple and straightforward for someone taking the first step towards change.
He draws on 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works to create an open space where people can say what they think and feel without fear of judgement.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to each person, with practical steps discussed alongside reflection. The tone in sessions is respectful and direct, with an emphasis on what matters to the individual. Mark also supports people dealing with depression, addictions and trauma and abuse.
He addresses intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger and bipolar concerns in everyday language. Additional areas he attends to include ADHD, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to gender identity and prejudice. People who are navigating abandonment, attachment or loneliness find time to explore those patterns.
He also works with fears such as panic and phobias, and with relationship choices including polyamory and non-monogamous arrangements. Complex issues like process and sex addiction are approached step by step. Mark is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers sessions in English.
He accepts international clients and asks people to choose the Start Therapy button to begin the short matching process and schedule according to his availability.

How Mark works online
Sessions can also work well when addressing addiction, trauma, compassion fatigue and life transitions by creating a steady, supportive space to explore difficult topics. The therapist helps you notice patterns such as abandonment, attachment struggles or impulsivity and supports gradual change through conversation and practical steps.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful, adapt methods to your goals and check in as things change. Expect a shared plan built around your needs and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video, or who need sessions that fit into tight schedules.
