About Moira

Moira McCarthy is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, stress, anxiety and the upheaval of separation. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, depression and changes in life direction. Moira holds an MA in Theology and a Diploma in Counselling, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Her way of working is person centred. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Moira aims to make each session practical and relevant so people can try different ways of coping between meetings.

She has ten years' experience supporting people through problems such as panic attacks, low self-esteem, anger and loneliness. She also assists those facing communication difficulties, blended family challenges, and the practical and emotional effects of divorce and separation.

Moira uses a non-judgemental and empathic style. Conversations are guided by the client's priorities and pace. The aim is to build understanding, find clearer choices and help people feel more able to move forward.

People looking for help are invited to talk about what is worrying them and what they hope to change. Moira works collaboratively to set goals and checks progress over time so sessions stay focused on meaningful outcomes.

How a person-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects what she hears and asks questions that help people make sense of their situation. This approach suits issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life changes where someone needs space to be heard and to make their own choices.

Moira will work with a client to identify what approach feels most helpful. Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process and she adapts sessions to the person's needs, goals and preferences as they go along.

The practical benefit of online work is that it can fit more easily around everyday life. It can reduce travel time and make it simpler to schedule a short check-in between commitments. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged.

Good to know

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. It is not legal, financial or custody advice, and no therapist can promise how a separation or a relationship will turn out.

If you are not safe at home, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
