About MARK
MARK O'NEILL is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems and trauma. He also supports those facing life changes such as separation, grief and career shifts.
He starts by listening to each person's story and treating them as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps rather than labels. He aims to make conversations straightforward and useful so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.
His style draws on client-centred ways of working that keep the person central, and cognitive behavioural ideas that look at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. He also uses emotionally focused and narrative ideas to help people understand how patterns in relationships and life stories shape reactions.
Common topics he supports include codependency, attachment and abandonment worries, substance and alcohol problems, sleep problems, low self-esteem and communication difficulties. He also helps people with parenting stress, anger and coming to terms with loss.
Sessions will look at practical changes a person can test out, while also making space to talk about what feels difficult. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the counsellor follow the client's lead and respond to what feels most important in the moment. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises. Online CBT often includes setting short experiments or homework that a person can try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That decision can change as the work goes on and new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also work well when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods effectively when they match the client's situation and goals.
