About Marc

Marc (Mac) McCormack offers calm, practical support for people dealing with anger and related struggles. He aims to make sessions straightforward and focused. Marc speaks in plain language and helps clients work through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, sleep or eating concerns, and changes that feel overwhelming.

Marc has 14 years working in mental health across the North-west of the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in his profile. He draws on a mix of approaches so that sessions match what each person needs and prefers.

In session Marc invites people to set the pace and shape the work. He explains options such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and client-centred ways of talking. Together the client and Marc decide what to try and how to measure progress.

Practicalities are part of the offer. Marc requests at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations and aims to respond to messages promptly. He works with issues including addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, chronic pain or illness, and feelings of emptiness.

Clients who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button on the site, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule a time that suits both them and Marc. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

How Marc adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Marc commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people set their own goals, which can help with anger, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marc works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as the work progresses.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is useful. It also gives flexibility for people who live outside the therapist's immediate area while still allowing the same therapeutic tools to be used remotely.
