About MARK

MARK O'NEILL is a counsellor registered with the BACP who brings four years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. He focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strains and grief. He works from the view that each person knows their own story best and that therapy can build on existing strengths.

Mark aims to make first steps feel manageable. He offers a calm, respectful space to talk through what is worrying you. He encourages simple, realistic steps you can try between sessions to see what helps.

His background includes work with people dealing with depression, career pressures, parenting strains and sleep problems. He also supports those coping with anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions like separation or bereavement. ADHD, intimacy-related issues and coaching-style work are part of his practice too.

Clinically he draws on client-centred principles to keep the work rooted in your goals. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship feelings are central. Narrative and existential approaches help when people want to clarify values and meaning.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and therapist availability, and sessions run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathic, non-judgemental listening and helps people identify their own goals and steps forward. This approach can help when someone feels stuck or unsure what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which is useful for anxiety, stress and mood concerns.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which approach or combination of approaches best fits the person's needs.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a quieter place or who need sessions that fit a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for digital sessions so progress continues between meetings.
