About Marc
Marc (Mac) McCormack offers straightforward, practical counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life changes. He explains things plainly and focuses on what will help day to day. Marc is based in the North-west of the United Kingdom and brings 14 years of experience to his work.
He holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Marc adapts sessions to each person's needs and prefers to agree a treatment style together.
Background and approach
He uses hypnotherapy alongside talking approaches such as client-centred work and cognitive behavioural methods. EMDR and mindfulness techniques are also part of his toolkit when appropriate. In a session he listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals.
People can expect calm, practical steps to manage symptoms like low mood, sleep problems, anger or stress. He also offers help for trauma, relationship concerns, eating and intimacy-related issues, and long-term conditions where emotional strain is involved. Marc communicates promptly and asks for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations.
He offers online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging which can fit around work and family life. International clients are accepted and sessions are held in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and can then schedule an appointment.
Marc works collaboratively to find the best approach and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online support
How Marc brings hypnotherapy and talking therapies online
Marc uses hypnotherapy to help people access relaxed focus and work on patterns such as anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. He also applies client-centred therapy, which emphasises listening, empathy and following the client’s pace to build trust and clarity.Cognitive behavioural therapy is offered when people want practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to try between appointments, useful for issues like stress, anger or unhelpful coping habits.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Marc discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and then suggests methods to try. He adapts the plan if something isn’t helping, so clients stay involved in choosing what works best for them.
Online work is delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video lets the therapist and client use visual cues, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, while chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments and to keep regular contact between sessions.
