About Mark

Mark McGinney is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to support people through stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. He has 15 years of experience working with concerns such as low self-esteem, career difficulties, depression and addictive behaviours. He aims to make the first step easier for anyone who is feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

In sessions he focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions.

Background and approach

The work is practical and paced to each person, with attention to everyday problems like sleep, eating, panic and anger. He also works with issues around identity, including LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria, and with relationship and intimacy questions. Mark can help when feelings of shame, guilt or abandonment recur, or when attachment issues affect how someone relates to others.

He supports people dealing with process addictions and sex-related difficulties, and helps those coping with compassion fatigue or burnout. He also addresses ADHD-related struggles and impulsivity in day-to-day life. Sessions can focus on short-term aims such as managing panic attacks or sleep disruption, or longer-term themes like rebuilding confidence and coping with major life transitions.

Mark encourages clear goals and regular review so people can see progress. Based in the United Kingdom, he works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. He asks people to take a step at their own pace and offers practical emotional support throughout the process.

Ways of working Mark names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s pace, helping them make sense of feelings and decide on practical next steps. This approach suits people facing stress, anxiety, grief and confidence issues who want a supportive, non-directive space to talk.

In practice, the counsellor will invite you to set goals and shape sessions around your needs. Finding the right approach is a joint process; Mark will check in about what helps and adapt the way you work together based on your aims and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper, face-to-face conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life or travel and allow different ways of connecting depending on the moment.
