About Vince
Vince McCumisky is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He also helps with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, and questions related to LGBT identity. Vince works with people on sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career concerns, and problems with self-esteem and anger.
Vince holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
Background and approach
He focuses on tailoring conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than using the same approach for everyone. In sessions he listens for what matters most to the person and checks in about practical goals. He helps people name what they are feeling and try different ways of coping.
This can include pacing steps to manage stress, experimenting with new routines for sleep and eating, and rehearsing communication skills for relationships. Vince also supports people working through grief, caregiving stress and longer-term health challenges. He will discuss how past experiences might be influencing current reactions and help identify small changes that reduce distress.
He aims to make therapy collaborative and goal-focused so progress can be tracked. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to his availability. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Vince May Use and How Online Work Fits In
Vince describes his practice as evidence-based and focused on tailoring work to each person. One common approach is brief problem-focused work that identifies immediate goals and practical steps to reduce stress or manage anxiety; this helps people try small changes and measure progress. Another approach is exploratory work that looks at how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships; this tends to be useful for trauma, attachment and grief-related concerns.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. He will check what matters to the person and discuss different options together, adapting the pace and tasks based on needs, goals and preferences. This collaboration helps pick techniques that feel acceptable and useful for the person doing the work.
The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep a steady routine of meetings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and options that do not require being on camera for every session. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats in ways that help people keep therapy manageable while working towards their goals.
