Laura McCarthy, BACP

Laura McCarthy is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, relationship and family matters, grief, anger, career questions and depression. Sessions are delivered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

Laura uses a client-centred approach that lets the person set the pace and priorities. She focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what clients bring. This helps people notice patterns in feelings and choices and make changes they want to try.

In practical terms she supports people dealing with life transitions, separation and divorce issues, blended family concerns, and attachment difficulties. She also works with problems such as body image, control issues, dissociation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, loneliness and jealousy. The work can include short-term coaching-style conversations or longer, exploratory sessions depending on what the person prefers.

Laura keeps her professional practice under regular supervision and reviews her approach as she gains experience. She describes counselling as a collaborative process where the client's own knowledge and decisions matter. Fees vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin a first session people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule through the See online therapy options button. This helps match practical needs and makes the initial scheduling straightforward.
