About Mark
Mark McGinney is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and career difficulties. Mark also supports those facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, sleeping or eating problems, and anger.
He keeps sessions straightforward and person-centred. Conversations focus on what matters now - feelings, reactions and the patterns that keep causing distress. Mark encourages clear, practical steps alongside talking things through so people can notice small changes that make daily life easier.
People who come with panic, impulse issues or loneliness can work on tools to manage intense moments. Those dealing with identity concerns such as gender dysphoria, or with prejudice and discrimination, can explore how those experiences affect mood and relationships. Mark also offers support around process addictions and sexual behaviour that feels out of control.
His background includes long-term practice with adults across a range of emotional and occupational challenges. He uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means he listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead while offering reflections and practical suggestions. This approach suits people who want to understand their feelings and try new ways of responding.
If someone is considering starting, Mark asks about immediate concerns and what a better week would look like. From there he helps set simple goals and checks progress session by session. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then booking an initial session.
How Client-Centred work translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a fixed technique. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the client outline what matters most. This suits issues like stress, grief, anger and relationship friction where understanding personal reactions is a priority.Clients who struggle with impulsivity or panic can use conversational work to notice early warning signs and try paced responses. For mood and addiction concerns the approach supports exploring triggers and testing small, practical changes between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk through your needs, goals and what methods feel comfortable, and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on skills, reflection or brief coaching elements.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people choose audio-only contact if they prefer a lower-bandwidth option or a quieter way to talk.
