About MARK

MARK O'NEILL is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings four years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship concerns. He presents himself as a practical, steady presence for those ready to make a change.

He believes each person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on listening first, then working out small, useful steps together. Conversations are aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable rather than relying on jargon or quick fixes.

Background and approach

His approach draws on a mix of methods that suit different needs. He uses Client-Centred ways to build trust and Emotional-Focused ideas to look at how feelings affect relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy methods are used when thinking patterns and habits get in the way of progress.

MARK often helps people facing parenting worries, low mood, grief, career doubts or trouble sleeping. He also supports those dealing with addiction, anger, self-esteem issues and major life changes. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment challenges, and caregiver stress.

Work with him tends to be collaborative and goal-oriented. He aims to make sessions practical, clear and respectful. For people wanting straightforward help to cope better and feel more in control, he offers a down-to-earth approach that keeps the client’s priorities at the centre.

Online support

Approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship where the person’s own goals guide the work. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through parenting worries, grief or low mood.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours feed problems. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to change unhelpful patterns, and it can help with anxiety, sleep problems and coping strategies.

Finding the best fit is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which approaches to use, tailoring methods to goals, preferences and the issues at hand. This happens collaboratively so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper connection helps, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit short check-ins or when a written record is helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work or travel by choosing the format that meets practical needs.
