Person-Centred Support for Online Therapy

Moira McCarthy practices client-centred therapy, an approach that focuses on the individual's experience and fosters self-directed growth. This way of working emphasises empathy, active listening and acceptance so clients can explore feelings, build insight and make choices that reflect their own values and goals.

Her sessions are designed to be personalised and collaborative. Moira works with clients and licensed professionals when appropriate to identify which methods are likely to suit each person's needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the approach over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Moira is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexible access across different time zones and circumstances. These options make it easier for clients to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable and effective for them.
