Marc (Mac) McCormack, BACP

Marc (Mac) McCormack is a UK based therapist working from the North-west with 14 years of experience in the mental health field. He is accredited with BACP, the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom, and brings a practical, person-focused style to his work. Marc helps clients explore their concerns openly and works collaboratively to identify the right direction for therapy.

He offers a range of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Client-Centered therapy, and will adapt the method to suit each person he sees. Marc aims to match treatment to individual preferences and goals, taking time to understand what will be most helpful. He makes every effort to respond to messages as promptly as possible and asks clients to provide at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. Marc combines steady clinical experience with a straightforward, respectful approach to support people through stress, anxiety, trauma and other life challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marc (Mac) McCormack uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients lead the conversation and set the pace; this approach is often helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some addiction-related concerns. EMDR is an evidence-informed method for working with traumatic memories and intense distress related to past events, helping reduce the emotional impact of those memories over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marc works collaboratively with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods or combine approaches to find the best fit. He treats the selection of techniques as a shared decision rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy with Marc is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive care from a licensed professional without needing to travel.
