Laura McCarthy

Laura McCarthy is a BACP registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom who practises from a person-centred perspective, believing that people have the capacity for growth, healing and self-understanding when offered the right environment. Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she builds her work on empathy, authenticity and unconditional positive regard to foster a genuinely supportive space where clients feel heard and accepted.

She takes a collaborative approach, recognising and valuing the knowledge and lived experience each person brings to therapy. Laura offers a compassionate, non-judgemental presence that aims to empower clients to explore their feelings and make choices that feel true for them. She has four years of experience supporting people with concerns such as stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem and confidence issues.

Connection and understanding sit at the heart of her practice, and she commits to ongoing professional development through regular supervision and reflective work to ensure consistent, grounded support. Appreciative of how difficult the first step into therapy can feel, Laura strives to provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere where clients can move at their own pace without pressure and with respectful, genuine care.
