Her way of working is person centred. That means sessions are shaped around what each person needs. Conversations focus on understanding what is happening now and finding realistic ways to cope and move forward.
Moira uses straightforward listening and reflection rather than jargon. She helps people notice patterns, name difficult feelings and try new ways of responding. Practical tasks or short reflections between sessions may be suggested when helpful.

She works in English and accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, people use the site questionnaire and then book according to the therapist's schedule.
How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. It uses active listening and reflective conversation to help someone feel heard and to make sense of distress. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, panic and relationship worries because it focuses on what the individual needs and values.Because the approach relies on the relationship between person and counsellor, finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose the best way to proceed, checking in about goals and what feels helpful as sessions continue.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people maintain continuity of care when they move or travel. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt exercises and listening skills to work well across different ways of meeting, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements when you book.
