Vince McCumisky , BACP

Vince McCumisky is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and major life changes. He works with issues such as compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and parenting challenges. People looking for support around sleep, eating, career choices, ADHD or bipolar-related difficulties may also find his approach useful.

Vince offers short, straightforward conversations that focus on what matters to each person. He listens and adapts the session to your needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions are practical and aimed at helping you notice small changes that add up over time.

He holds a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential, shown as BACP, and has three years of professional experience working with adults. His practice is based in the United Kingdom and he speaks English.

Vince takes a respectful and compassionate stance. He aims to tailor the way he works so it fits your situation, whether you prefer structured tasks or open conversation. He encourages clients to set realistic goals and to try manageable steps between sessions.

People often begin by naming one or two pressing concerns and then build from there. Vince supports clients through grief, coping with chronic illness, attachment and adoption questions, body image and sexual identity topics, and other challenges that affect daily life and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Vince uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. Brief, goal-focused work helps people identify unhelpful patterns and try new behaviours between sessions; this suits issues such as stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Support that focuses on processing difficult experiences helps those working through trauma, grief and relationship wounds by creating a steady, paced way to talk through painful memories and feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Vince will discuss different ways of working and agree together which methods feel most useful. He adapts goals, pace and tasks according to a person's needs and preferences so the work stays relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions work well for quicker check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter reflections, brief check-ins, or those who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
