Beth McCay
Clinical Lead of Serendipity Beds and Bucks Accredited Psychotherapist and EMDR practitionerI am Beth McCay, the Clinical Lead for the Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire branch, where I oversee a team of highly experienced therapists providing high-quality therapy services to the local community. As a BACP-accredited Psychotherapist and an Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Practitioner, I have worked across various settings, including independent healthcare, the NHS, and educational institutions.
I have extensive experience in acute mental health settings, supporting adults with complex and enduring psychological challenges such as self-harm and personality disorders. In addition, I work with individuals experiencing general mental health difficulties, including anxiety and depression.
My work has also involved supporting young people and families within the adoption and foster care system. I am particularly proud to have developed and led a school-based counselling service, providing vital mental health support to students. Prior to this, I worked within the community, offering drug and alcohol counselling to those in need.
I have a strong professional interest in developmental trauma and dissociation, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is key to helping clients achieve their goals. My approach is client-centred and tailored to individual needs, ensuring a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. I also integrate creative approaches into therapy and, where appropriate, offer a “walk and talk” option for clients who find it beneficial.
I provide therapy at my Northampton-based clinic and also offer online sessions for clients who prefer remote support.
