Moira McCarthy

Moira McCarthy is a counsellor who helps people facing loneliness, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She works with people dealing with stress, grief, addiction and life changes. Her approach aims to make sessions feel personal and practical from the first appointment.

Moira holds an MA in Theology and a Diploma in Counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated as BACP. Her ten years of experience have included supporting people through panic, trauma, and issues with self-esteem.

In sessions she uses a client-centred style. That means she listens closely and follows what matters most to each person. Conversations are guided by the client’s goals and paced to feel manageable.

She also works with people dealing with addiction, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and problems around intimacy or parenting. Practical topics such as communication problems, blended family issues and coping after separation are part of her caseload.

Moira aims to create a straightforward space for people to talk about guilt, shame, loneliness and life purpose. Her sessions tend to focus on understanding what’s happening now and finding steps that feel achievable.

How client-centred work translates to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what feels most important to the client. This approach suits issues such as depression, loneliness, anxiety and relationship concerns because it focuses on what the client wants to change or understand.

Moira’s style is built around hearing the person and shaping sessions to their needs. She collaborates with clients to set goals and decide how to explore difficult topics. The process of finding the best approach is shared, so adjustments can be made as understanding deepens.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier fitting of appointments into busy days and fewer travel requirements. Remote work can allow shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to attend from different locations.
