About Mark
Mark McGinney is a counsellor with 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He uses a client-centred approach to help people talk through stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and career worries. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what matters to them and feel heard.
Mark supports people facing depression, addiction and intimacy-related concerns. He also offers help with sleeping and eating issues, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. He pays attention to experiences related to LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
In sessions he focuses on listening and reflecting rather than directing. That approach encourages people to find their own solutions and build confidence over time. Conversations can include exploring attachment and abandonment themes, impulsivity, isolation and panic symptoms.
Mark draws on practical steps when helpful, such as pacing changes, small behavioural goals and ways to manage overwhelming feelings. He also supports work on relationships, non-monogamous arrangements and intimacy topics in an open way. He aims to keep things straightforward and approachable, so people can use what they learn between sessions.
People interested in working together begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions form part of a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How client-centred work adapts to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. It involves open conversation, gentle reflection and practical steps when needed. This approach suits stress, anxiety, grief and self-esteem difficulties by giving people room to explore what matters most to them.That way of working also supports conversations about relationship patterns, attachment and identity concerns. The counsellor stays alongside the person, offering acceptance and helping them try small changes between sessions to test what helps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and adapt the way they work together. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as understanding grows.
