About MARK

Mark O'Neill works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties and other life challenges using a collaborative, person-focused approach. He uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people make practical changes and understand difficult feelings. Mark is a BACP member and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Mark starts by listening to each person’s story and building a clear view of what they want to change. He treats the person as the expert on their life and helps them spot strengths they can use. Sessions often include talking things through, practical strategies, and reflecting on how past patterns affect present choices.

His work covers a wide range of concerns such as depression, grief, anger, sleeping problems and parenting strain. He also supports people with intimacy-related and sexual issues, body image, and self-esteem. Addictions, drug and alcohol difficulties, and issues related to domestic violence and separation are also in his practice focus.

Mark draws on narrative and existential ideas when helpful, supporting people to reframe unhelpful stories and consider values and meaning. He combines this with CBT techniques for coping and behaviour change, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy methods to address relationship and attachment patterns.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. He uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person find their own solutions; online sessions allow time to talk things through and reflect on personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts, feelings and behaviours; online work can include practical exercises, homework and behavioural experiments between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how people experience and express feelings in relationships and can be used to explore attachment and intimacy concerns during remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mark will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and help you decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as you progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online counselling can help fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings around work or caring commitments. It can also make shorter check-ins easier to arrange and reduce the need to be on camera when that helps someone engage.
