Moira McCarthy , BACP

Moira McCarthy is a fully qualified counsellor who holds an MA in Theology and a Diploma in Counselling, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works from a person centred approach, collaborating with each person to shape sessions that reflect their priorities and pace, and seeks to make therapy empowering, coordinated and focused on practical change.

Moira supports people facing a range of mental health concerns, including depression, addiction, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties - including couples work - bereavement, trauma and other kinds of emotional distress. Her practice emphasises attentive listening, respect for the client s perspective and an absence of judgement, with interventions tailored to the individual s needs and goals.

With a background that combines academic study and clinical training, Moira aims to create an environment where clients can explore feelings, build coping strategies and work toward clearer thinking about relationships and life challenges. Her approach is flexible and rooted in supporting the client s own resources for change.

Client-Centered Support Delivered Online

Client-Centered Therapy places the client s experience at the heart of the work, offering a non-directive, empathetic space where the therapist reflects understanding and supports the client s own capacity for insight and change. This approach can help with emotional challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and grief by focusing on the person s values and goals rather than imposing a fixed agenda.

Moira approaches online care as a collaborative process - she works with each person to identify which therapeutic methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adapt the work over time so the approach remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations. These options increase flexibility around scheduling and communication style, and allow clients to work with licensed professionals and therapists in ways that suit their daily routines and comfort levels.
