About MARK

MARK O'NEILL is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He holds BACP registration, which means he meets the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He offers a calm, straightforward approach for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship struggles.

He believes people know their story best and brings that belief into sessions. Conversations focus on the client’s strengths and what they want to change.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and aim to help people make day-to-day shifts that feel manageable. In appointments he uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive techniques help with unhelpful thinking and routines.

Emotionally-focused methods look at feelings and attachment that shape relationships. Narrative and existential ideas are used to reframe life changes and search for meaning. Mark also works with issues such as sleep problems, parenting strain, grief, anger and low self-esteem.

He supports people dealing with addiction, eating or body image concerns, codependency and communication difficulties. He pays attention to how abandonment and attachment patterns affect current relationships. Sessions are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

International clients in English are accepted. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes to make. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people build new routines to reduce anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding emotional patterns and attachment needs to improve close relationships and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the client’s needs. Sessions can change over time so the approach stays relevant to what a person wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low, live chat offers a shorter check-in and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles while working with registered or accredited professionals.
