We would recommend Siobhan without hesitation. She helped us to take an invaluable step back from how we were approaching our increasingly busy lives together and interacting with each other. Always objective and warm, she challenged where necessary and helped us to gain a far better insight / appreciation of each other’s perspectives than we could possibly have achieved on our own. Siobhan enabled us to reformulate a considerably more positive path forward to get back to working together as a team again and re-establish the bonds that had been incredibly strong for so many years.

I would recommend Siobhan massively for her natural, warm + sympathetic approach. She's brilliant at shifting your perspective on the emotional challenges you may be facing and to normalise them - which for some of us is hard to do. Her approach is refreshing after trying a few different therapies prior, thanks again Siobhan!

I would highly recommend Dr McCarthy who supported me through a tough time and provided invaluable perspectives and tools to help me manage future work-life balance and personal challenges. She was highly professional, used a variety of techniques and challenged in a compassionate way my default behaviours which led to my illness. As a result, I now feel a lot stronger and more self-aware and would not hesitate to return to Siobhan in the future if needs arise.

I would highly recommend Dr Siobhan McCarthy to anyone going through a difficult period in their life. I found her sympathetic and practical approach just what I needed.

We worked with Siobhan as a couple. The sessions were really effective, and the results came much sooner than we were hoping for; in fact we saw a significant improvement after the very first one. A big part of that success was that we could establish connection with Dr McCarthy very quickly - she comes across as someone who is unquestionably professional but also very warm and personable. We highly recommend her.

I can not recommend Dr McCarthy enough, she has changed my life. She has given me the confidence to move forward and skills which I continue to use every day. Every one around me has noticed a change in me, I am more at ease and a lot less anxious. I have accomplished things I never thought I would be able to. The ‘therapy room’ is comforting and secure, I felt very comfortable talking to her from the first session. Thank you !

I would highly recommend Dr Siobhan McCarthy. I would not hesitate to return to her. She was able to help me get better acquainted with my emotions, which has been life-changing, and challenged me to change my perspective on myself and the people around me. I have come away stronger and more compassionate about my family and friends. I highly recommend!

When I finally decided to take the step to see a therapist, I came across Dr McCarthy and booked the appointment. I entered my first session at a low point in life; however, I came out the session feeling good. With each subsequent sessions, I felt better and better with more energy, drive and determination. I learnt a lot, (especially, that it is ok to say ‘No’ to people). By the time I finished my therapy, I had changed for the better and my family, friends & work colleagues felt the same. I found a new balance in life. I feel more relaxed and with a have clear vision for both family & work life to co-exist. I encourage anyone seeking help (especially if you are finding it difficult in taking the step), to reach out to Dr McCarthy.

When I came to see Siobhan, I felt I had got stuck going round in circles for a bit too long, ruminating on various things that had gone wrong and feeling rather confused as to what had happened and what to do next. Siobhan helped to lift the boulder off me, drain the wounds and clear the debris. As a result of our sessions, I feel much more clear-headed and like I’ve got more perspective on events. I’ve felt strong enough to get myself back into shape physically and have been able to take practical steps to address the things that have been bothering me mentally and emotionally in my personal and professional life. I have really appreciated being able to talk things through with Siobhan and her understanding, empathy and firm, clear, practical guidance. I feel I understand myself better as a result and am better able to navigate around and, as necessary, deal with life’s sometimes inevitable ups and downs. Thank you Siobhan!

Choosing the right therapist can feel like such a hard decision but after the first session with Dr Siobhan McCarthy several months ago I knew I’d struck gold. With honesty, compassion, practicality and the highest form of professionalism, Siobhan has helped me navigate issues around long-term anxiety and enabled me to view and live my life through a fresh lens. Opening up to someone is never a walk in the park but after just several sessions, I began to feel lighter - an emotional and physical release from Siobhan’s help re-framing the thinking and behavioral patterns that were restricting me on a daily basis. Sessions with Siobhan proved an invaluable, judgment-free space to work through issues and her lovely sense of humour (something I never expected from ‘therapy’) really helped take the fear out of fear and anxiety. Siobhan is, quite simply, top of her game and I’d recommend her to anyone thinking of seeking help. Truly life-changing. Thank you, Siobhan.

I have had psychotherapy in the past but not for a few years. The first few months of this year were really tough for me and I was having a hard time balancing the demands of a very ill parent, young children, work...and keeping myself level. I had heard about Dr McCarthy through a family member and I am so very glad I contacted her. She has a results driven approach - very focussed and practical while also being warm, receptive and empathetic. At the first session we made a list of my goals for the course of appointments and Siobhan would refer to these regularly throughout treatment to make sure we stayed on track. We actually achieved the desired outcomes earlier than expected and Siobhan suggested we didn't need the final session we had booked in. I was so impressed with her abilities. I have had some real lightbulb moments and feel now have a lot of new skills and coping mechanisms to get through the tough times, as well as a much deeper insight into the history behind my own thoughts and reactions as well as those of my nearest and dearest. I cannot recommend Dr McCarthy enough if you are having any kind of struggle - work or personal. She will be straight with you at all times, and will guide you and push you to make connections for yourself rather than letting you visit her endlessly without feeling you have actually resolved anything. She is extremely wise and I hope she finds the time to write a book around some of her most insightful observations about how humans function and interact with each other and society as a whole as I think the world could really benefit from her wisdom.

I had severe post natal anxiety after the birth of my first son and was lucky enough to find Dr McCarthy when I really needed her. She has helped me through some very difficult times with compassion, empathy, professionalism and practical advice. I am out the other side now and am so grateful to Siobhan for being a large part of my recovery (alongside other treatments). PND is a very difficult illness so having someone with experience in this area really helps. Luckily we were able to use health insurance through my husband's work to cover the cost and it was really easy to do so (via Aviva). Highly recommended.
