About Vince
Vince McCumisky is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and cope with major life changes. He also supports those dealing with anger, relationship strain, grief, and issues around self-esteem and identity.
Vince keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens to what matters to each person and shapes conversations around real-life concerns. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, developing skills to respond differently, and practising ways to reduce tension in day-to-day situations.
His approach combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with clear, goal-oriented work. That might include learning breathing and grounding strategies, looking at thoughts that fuel strong emotions, and trying new ways of communicating with others. He works at a steady pace and checks in about what is helpful.
Vince has supported people facing addiction, compassion fatigue, career stress, parenting pressures, and long-term health challenges. He also offers support on identity and intimacy-related issues, including LGBT concerns and body image. He accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. Prospective clients are invited to review the online therapy options before booking.
How sessions work
Approaches that translate to online work
Vince uses evidence-based techniques that can be practised in remote sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying and reframing thoughts that escalate anger. This involves noticing automatic reactions and testing them against reality to reduce reactivity and rumination.Another approach teaches practical calming and grounding skills. That includes breathing exercises, short grounding routines, and behavioural experiments to lower physiological arousal and interrupt bursts of anger. These techniques suit problems linked to stress, anxiety, and trauma responses.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest options. Together they will try approaches and adjust based on what helps most in everyday life.
The original profile does not list which session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during stressful periods. Different formats can suit different needs - for example a brief phone call may be useful for short check-ins, while a longer video session can support skill practice and in-depth discussion.
