Marc (Mac) McCormack, BACP

Marc (Mac) McCormack is a BACP-registered therapist based in the North-west of the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience in the mental health field. He adopts a collaborative style, inviting clients to engage in the treatment approach that feels most suitable for them. Marc offers Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and person-centred counselling as options, and he works with clients to tailor techniques to their individual needs.

As a practitioner registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Marc brings a practical, client-focused perspective to sessions and emphasizes working together to find solutions. He aims to respond to messages as promptly as possible and asks clients to provide at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. Marc combines evidence-informed methods with an emphasis on each person’s priorities, making space for collaboration and adaptation throughout the therapeutic process.

Clients can expect a professional, approachable presence that seeks to align treatment choices with what the client identifies as most helpful, with clear communication about scheduling and responsiveness to messages.

Approaches available for online therapy

Marc offers Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the client guides the pace and topics of work and the therapist supports personal insight and growth. This approach is suitable for people who want to explore their feelings and priorities in a supportive setting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT tends to be practical and goal-oriented and can help with issues such as anxiety, low mood and coping with life challenges.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. It is often used for trauma-related difficulties and for clients who want a focused way to address specific past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marc works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. He will discuss options and adapt methods as work progresses.

Online therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier for people to access registered professionals from different locations while maintaining consistency in ongoing therapy.
