Marc (Mac) McCormack , BACP

Marc (Mac) McCormack is a United Kingdom based therapist who brings 14 years of clinical experience to his practice. He works collaboratively with each person to identify the most helpful method of treatment, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and client-centered approaches to match interventions to individual needs. Marc holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - indicating membership in the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

He supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, self-esteem difficulties, addictions, and challenges with intimacy and eating or sleeping. Marc also has experience working with abandonment and attachment issues, dissociation, chronic pain and illness, and the complexities that can arise around kink and alternative sexual cultures. His practice addresses both immediate symptoms and the broader life changes that accompany recovery and growth.

Marc aims to be responsive and accessible, responding to messages as promptly as he can. He asks clients to provide at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. He is currently accepting clients, including international clients, and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Marc offers several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and direction of change; it is helpful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem, and working through relationship and identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and many day-to-day coping challenges because it teaches practical skills that can be applied between sessions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy designed to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and the symptoms that follow trauma. It can be particularly helpful for those struggling with post-traumatic reactions and deeply distressing life events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Marc works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He will discuss options and adapt the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, with sessions available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options enable continuity of care around work, family, and travel commitments, and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that suit them while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
