BECAUSE PEOPLE
MAKE SENSE.
Making sense of your story.
You’re tired of pretending you’re fine.
Perhaps you’ve spent years trying to hold everything together, being strong for everyone else while quietly carrying your own struggles.
Maybe you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply aware that something doesn’t feel quite right.
You don’t need to have all the answers before coming to counselling.
Sometimes change begins with a single honest conversation.
People make sense.
Patterns make sense.
Anxiety makes sense.
Depression makes sense.
Shame makes sense.
Trauma makes sense.
Even the ways we cope often make sense when we understand the experiences that shaped them.
There is a story behind every struggle.
Rather than seeing these patterns as weaknesses to overcome, I believe they deserve to be understood with curiosity and compassion.
Because when we understand the pain beneath the pattern, meaningful change often becomes possible.
At Marc B Counselling, I provide professional counselling in Magherafelt and online across Northern Ireland. I offer a calm, confidential and compassionate space where, together, we can explore your experiences, understand the patterns that have shaped your life, and move towards meaningful, lasting change.
HOW I CAN HELP?
I provide counselling for adults experiencing a range of emotional difficulties and life challenges, including:
-
Anxiety and excessive worry

Depression and low mood

Stress and burnout

Whether you're facing a recent challenge or carrying experiences from many years ago, counselling offers an opportunity to pause, reflect and move forward with greater understanding and self-compassion.
MEET MARC
I'm Marc Buchanan, a BACP Registered Counsellor based in Magherafelt.
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Therapeutic Communication and a Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling & Professional Practice from Ulster University.
Alongside my work as a counsellor, my professional background includes supporting individuals and families through significant life challenges across counselling, social care and community services.
I believe that when people feel safe enough to tell the truth about their lives — with curiosity rather than judgement — meaningful change becomes possible.
My role isn't to judge you or tell you how to live your life. Instead, I offer a calm, thoughtful space where we can explore your experiences together and help you better understand yourself, your relationships and your story.
