About MARK
MARK O'NEILL is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has four years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties. He presents therapy as a collaborative process and aims to support people taking their first steps towards change.
He listens for the strengths already in a person's life and uses those as a starting point. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day difficulties and on talking through difficult emotions. He often helps people who are coping with grief, low mood, intimacy concerns and problems with sleep.
His approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside narrative and existential ideas. That mix means conversations can shift between understanding patterns in a person’s story, noticing thinking habits, and tracking feelings in relationships. Techniques are explained in plain language and practised together during sessions.
People commonly bring concerns about parenting, career stress, self-esteem and anger. There is also work available around addiction, eating and body image issues, attachment and abandonment themes, and communication or control difficulties. He supports clients dealing with separation, domestic violence, caregiver stress and the emptiness that can follow major life change.
Sessions are offered in English and MARK accepts international clients. He uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time, and asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says, helping them feel heard and understood so they can find their own solutions; it is useful for building confidence and working through life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleeping difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings in relationships and helps people identify and change unhelpful interaction patterns that cause distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss aims, try methods in session and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that balances a person’s goals, preferences and what shows practical benefit as therapy progresses.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow conversations to continue across time zones for international clients, and offers ways to practise techniques between sessions so progress can carry into everyday routines.
