About Moira

Moira McCarthy works with 18-year-olds and adults, offering both individual therapy and group sessions that focus on personal growth and emotional wellbeing. She draws on person-centered principles, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and integrative holistic methods to tailor each session to the needs of the individual, helping people explore feelings, develop coping strategies, and make positive changes.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holder of NCPS credentials, she has delivered one-to-one work and wellbeing workshops across local authorities and a range of businesses. Her training and experience support practical, outcome-focused sessions while maintaining a warm, therapeutic space where clients can speak openly and work toward meaningful change.

Moira continually develops her practice through regular supervision and ongoing professional activity to ensure her work aligns with ethical standards and best practice set by the BACP.

Approaches That Guide Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-judgmental, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead to encourage self-exploration and personal growth - this approach supports people working through low self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties, providing structured tools that clients can apply between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current emotions and behaviours and is helpful for those dealing with attachment issues, abandonment, family and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Moira collaborates with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods or combine approaches to find the best fit as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, take sessions by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that better suits their schedule or comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most accessible and effective for each individual.
