About MARK

MARK O'NEILL is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strains, grief and life changes. He also supports those facing low self-esteem, sleeping problems, parenting pressures and issues linked to intimacy and attachment.

He frames his work around the idea that clients know their own story. Sessions focus on the person's experience and strengths. Conversations are straightforward and practical, with space to talk through what feels most urgent right now.

In practice he draws on client-centred conversations to build understanding and trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques are used when people want concrete steps to manage anxiety or change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas help when relationship feelings and attachment come into play.

Mark also uses narrative and existential approaches to help people make sense of difficult events and choices. That can mean looking at the stories someone tells about themselves and testing other ways of seeing things. Work on addictive behaviours and coping strategies is handled with clear goals and practical options.

Sessions are delivered in English and he accepts international clients. He works with people facing a wide range of concerns including abandonment issues, codependency, domestic violence effects, eating and substance-related problems, career pressures and parenting stress. To begin, clients use an online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Approaches used and how online sessions can help

Client-Centred Therapy is focused on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead and supports them to talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on recognising and naming strong feelings in relationships and improving how people communicate about them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try different ways of working until a suitable fit is found. This is a collaborative process that matches methods to the client's goals and preferences rather than imposing a single model.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time and keep appointments during work breaks. Some formats use less data and require no camera, while others allow full visual contact for face-to-face style conversations. These practical options help people maintain regular appointments and move forward with clear goals.
