Beth McCay

Counsellor, Psychotherapist & EMDR Practitioner

Hi, my name is Beth McCay, and I am a BACP-accredited Psychotherapist and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist. I have worked in several settings, including independent healthcare, the NHS, and schools.

I have substantial experience working in acute mental health settings with adults struggling with severe and enduring mental health difficulties such as self-harm and personality disorders. I also have experience working with general mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression.

I have worked with young people and their families who have been adopted or fostered. I also developed and led a school counselling service, which I am very proud of. Prior to this, I worked within a local community, providing drug and alcohol counselling to residents in need.

I have a special interest in developmental trauma and dissociation, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to my clients achieving their goals. I am, therefore, responsible for ensuring that therapy is a safe and secure place for you. Therapy is tailored to each individual client. I love to work creatively, so I may bring in additional creative resources to our sessions or even encourage my clients, if they feel safe, to walk and talk with me.

I provide therapy to my clients at my Northampton-based clinic, and I also offer online sessions.

For more information, and to book a consultation with Beth McCay, please contact Serendipity Psychology today. Whether you are looking for individual therapy, couples therapy or family therapy, Serendipity Psychology can assist you today – offering online & face-to-face sessions.
