Marc (Mac) McCormack , BACP

Marc (Mac) McCormack is a UK-based therapist working from the North-west who brings 14 years of experience in the mental health field. He is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates training and adherence to professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

Marc adopts a collaborative approach, inviting clients to choose their preferred method of treatment. He regularly works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and person-centred counselling, tailoring sessions to the needs and goals of each individual. The aim is to work together to identify practical steps and build resilience over time.

Marc aims to respond to client messages as promptly as possible and asks for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. He focuses on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore concerns, try different therapeutic tools, and find a route forward that fits their life and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Marc (Mac) McCormack uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where the client directs the pace and focus of sessions - this approach helps with self-exploration, relationship concerns, and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is offered to help identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. He also works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a targeted method that can help people process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marc works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts plans as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or while travelling, support continuity of care, and allow clients to choose the way of working that suits them best.
