About Vince
Vince McCumisky is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. He also has experience supporting people dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and codependency.
Vince focuses on straightforward conversations that help people understand what keeps them stuck. Sessions centre on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon. He explains options and helps people try things that can make everyday life more manageable.
He is used to working with worries about grief, career pressure, sleeping and eating problems, and the strain of caring for others. He will talk through how past experiences shape present patterns, including attachment and abandonment themes where relevant. He also supports people navigating neurodiversity, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and long-term health issues.
Vince describes his role as a collaborator who listens and responds with sensitivity. He aims to adapt conversation style and the plan for sessions to the person's situation. Progress is checked in simple ways and steps are adjusted if needed.
For people who continually put others first or who live around someone else’s moods or drinking, he offers concrete ideas for setting boundaries and protecting personal needs. He encourages small, practical changes that can reduce overwhelm and help people feel more in control of daily life.
How sessions work
Approaches used in remote sessions
Vince works with evidence-based approaches that focus on practical change and understanding patterns. One approach helps people spot links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour so they can try small, gradual changes that lower anxiety and improve mood. Another approach looks at attachment and past experiences to explain why someone may struggle with boundaries or keep prioritising others; it helps rewrite familiar reactions into different choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vince will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day, reducing travel time, and making it easier to attend from different locations. If you are interested in remote work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know the available formats. Registered or accredited professionals on the platform can explain how to schedule and what to expect in your first remote session.
