About MARK
MARK O'NEILL is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and four years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns and relationship difficulties. He emphasises practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
He starts from the view that each person knows their own story best. That means sessions aim to build on what already works for someone, and to spot patterns that hold them back. He uses straightforward conversation to uncover small changes that make daily life easier.
His background includes work supporting people through grief, career transitions and problems with sleep and self-esteem. He also offers support around intimacy, parenting strain, anger and codependency. The approach is adaptable to different concerns, so sessions are shaped around what matters most to the individual.
In practice he draws on methods from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused therapy, plus elements of narrative and existential ideas. These are used in clear, everyday language and applied to practical goals. The aim is to create useful tools and clearer choices.
People who prefer calm, direct conversation and a focus on real-life steps tend to find his style helpful. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead; it helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on noticing and naming emotions and can be useful for intimacy or relationship-related distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals and try different ways of working until a helpful fit emerges. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they match a person's needs and preferences.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means ongoing work can continue during life changes or when arranging sessions around work and family commitments.
