About Vince

Vince McCumisky is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and big life changes. He aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Vince says he will tailor conversations and a plan to each person’s needs and goals.

Vince has three years of professional experience in the field. That experience includes helping people cope with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, sleep and eating issues, and challenges linked to addiction or bipolar mood patterns. He also lists work around ADHD, intimacy-related concerns, and LGBT issues among his areas of focus.

His approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions centre on talking through what feels most urgent, spotting patterns that cause repeated distress, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. He aims to keep language straightforward so people can use what they learn between meetings.

Vince is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He explains BACP as the professional body noted on his profile. This is the credential shown in his biography.

People who contact Vince can expect a warm, non-judgemental tone and a focus on personalised goals. He encourages honest conversation about what has or hasn’t worked before. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Step 3

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions can work together

Vince describes his work as practical and collaborative, and that mindset carries across into online settings. Two approaches that map well to this style are problem-focused talking therapy and behavioural activation. Problem-focused talking therapy helps people identify the issues that matter most and work through them step by step, which is useful for anxiety, relationship concerns and trauma-related problems. Behavioural activation focuses on small changes to daily routines and activities to lift mood and reduce avoidance, which can help with depression and low motivation.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist and client decide together. He will ask about your goals, what has helped before and how you prefer to work, then suggest options. This allows the plan to change over time if something isn’t working.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting appointments around work or caregiving, cutting travel time and being able to meet from different locations. The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to keep continuity when life is busy, and it supports straightforward goal-focused sessions and short check-ins when needed.
