BECAUSE PEOPLE
MAKE SENSE
Making sense of your story
You’re tired of pretending you’re fine.
Perhaps you’ve spent years holding 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.
Counselling offers time and space to pause, reflect and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing.
People make sense.
Our emotions, reactions and ways of coping often have a story behind them.
Anxiety can make sense.
Shame can make sense.
Depression can make sense.
Even the patterns we develop often make sense when we understand the experiences that shaped them.
There is often a story behind the struggle.
Rather than seeing these patterns as weaknesses to overcome, I believe they deserve to be understood with curiosity and compassion.
Counselling is not only about understanding the past. It can also help us make sense of what is happening now, explore the choices ahead, and discover new ways of relating to ourselves and others.
At Marc B Counselling, I provide professional counselling in Magherafelt and online across Northern Ireland. I offer a confidential, supportive space where we can explore what matters to you, understand your experiences more fully, and work 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
-
Trauma and difficult life experiences

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.
I believe that people make sense. Even when our emotions, reactions or patterns feel confusing, there is often a story behind them.
My role isn’t to judge you or tell you how to live your life. I offer a calm, thoughtful space where we can explore what matters to you and begin making sense of your story.
