Kristin McCarthy

I offer session on-line and face-to-face.  My online sessions are £50  and my face-to-face sessions are £60.  I offer reduced fee to students and NHS staff.  Please contact me to discuss. 

As an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I use a range of approaches and models. This enables me to personalise my approach to your individual needs. I work with you to help you to explore whatever life issues you may be struggling with.  

"Mental health is like any other health and needs looking after. I've spoken openly with friends and family about attending counselling and how invaluable it was."

Our sessions gives you the opportunity to discuss your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a non-judgemental and confidential space. I will give you time to work out how to best cope with what you are facing, to come to terms with the past as well as to explore ways to improve your relationships, cope with anxiety and stress and changes in your life as a result of the Covid pandemic. 

I will support you but also at times challenge you so that you can honestly evaluate and clarify what is really important to you. 

I work with clients from a range of diverse backgrounds and varying personal situations. I am a preferred provider for staff at Great Ormond Street Charity and St George's NHS Trust. I offer both short and long-term sessions. 

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I am experienced in working with loss, parenting and relationship issues as well as more specialised concerns related to infertility and pregnancy. I work with diverse clients on their own unique issues such as:

abuse and trauma

anxiety

childhood issues and living with bad memories from the past

covid and pandemic related issues

depression

eating disorders

grief, loss and bereavement

homesickness and expat identity

infertility issues

isolation and loneliness

relationships

parenting

pregnancy and childbirth

problems related to specific life events.

Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss your concerns or have any questions about how I can help you. 

I offer an initial free telephone consultation to discuss what your issues and what you are looking for.  In our first session we go over our contract and the way we can work together.  I discuss my approach and we make a plan for future sessions.  I usually offer 6 sessions with a review to see where we are.  We agree to work on either a long or short-term basis depending our your needs.
