About Marc
Marc (Mac) McCormack offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. He writes in straightforward language and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Marc is based in the United Kingdom and brings 14 years of experience supporting people through difficult moments.
He adapts how he works to each person. Some people prefer talking through thoughts and feelings, while others like structured exercises or trauma-focused work.
Background and approach
Marc uses a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused techniques to match what someone needs in the room. Sessions tend to focus on immediate concerns and on small, useful changes between meetings. He offers practical tools for coping with sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and relationship stress.
When trauma or painful memories are central, he uses established trauma approaches to help reduce distress and build safety in sessions. Marc has considerable experience across a wide range of issues, from addictions and grief to chronic pain and body image.
He also works with people who identify with kink and alternative sex culture, helping them talk about intimacy, boundaries and connection without judgement. People can work with him through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. He asks that cancellations are given with at least 24 hours notice.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.
How Marc blends approaches online
Marc uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, listening space where people set the pace and goals. This approach focuses on understanding your experience and building trust through empathic conversation.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioural changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and many everyday stresses because it gives clear steps to practise between sessions.
For people affected by distressing memories or trauma, Marc can use trauma-focused methods to reduce the emotional charge linked to those memories. These approaches aim to make memories feel less overwhelming and to restore a sense of control over day-to-day life.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Marc will discuss options and decide together which methods suit your aims, needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan you feel comfortable with.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Video calls are close to a face-to-face meeting, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera.
