About MARK
BACP. Four years of professional counselling experience. Mark O'Neill works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties and related issues. He frames clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on practical support to address what is challenging.
Mark uses a mix of talking approaches to help people manage everyday problems. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen and follow each person's priorities. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns and practical changes. Emotionally-Focused and Narrative ideas inform work on relationship and identity concerns.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Mark aims to identify small, doable steps a person can take between meetings. This can include experiments with new ways of coping, changes to routines that affect sleep, or practical strategies for managing anxiety and cravings.
He also works with concerns around parenting, family stress, grief, anger and self-esteem. Additional areas noted include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, eating and substance use problems, and difficulties with intimacy and commitment.
Mark offers coaching-style support alongside counselling when people want focused goals and measurable change. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary with location and are administered via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Mark integrates common approaches in online counselling
Mark often uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding your perspective and prioritising what matters most to you. This approach helps with feeling heard and clarifying personal goals.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical changes. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and addiction-related behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions more easily around work, family and travel commitments. If you need a shorter check-in or a session that avoids video, discuss options when you book. Session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before arranging appointments. Registered or accredited professionals often offer online sessions to help people balance therapy with everyday life.
