About MARK
MARK O'NEILL is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. He emphasises a respectful, down-to-earth approach where clients’ own knowledge about their lives guides each session.
He helps people manage stress and anxiety and cope with addictions and mood struggles. He also supports people facing relationship strain, grief and difficult life changes. Sessions are practical and conversational, aimed at clarifying what matters to the individual and finding doable next steps.
Background and approach
In the room he aims to listen without judgement and to follow the client's lead. He uses a mix of existential thinking, client-centred listening and practical strategies from cognitive behavioural ideas. This combination can help when someone feels stuck, empty or unsure about purpose and choices.
Mark pays attention to patterns from past relationships, attachment wounds and issues around abandonment or commitment. He also works with concerns such as body image, parenting stress, codependency and substance use. Work may include talking through painful memories, testing new ways of relating, or planning small changes to daily routines.
People who prefer an honest, collaborative style tend to find his approach useful. He treats therapy as a shared project where the client's goals shape the pace and focus. Mark offers sessions by video, phone, chat or messaging to fit different lives and schedules.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Existential therapy invites people to talk about meaning, choice and what matters most. It can help when someone feels empty, stuck or unsure about identity by opening space to consider values and life directions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's experience without judgement, which helps people feel heard and able to make their own decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and offers practical steps to change them, useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will ask about current goals, what has helped or not helped before, and how the client prefers to work. Together they will try methods and adapt the focus as progress is made, so the work fits the person's needs and pace.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls can fit a short break or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity, work around schedules and fit therapy into a busy life.
