Common Reasons for Therapy
When Therapy Can Help
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes it’s to work through a specific problem, and other times it’s to make sense of feelings that have built up over time. Whatever brings you here, therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore your experiences and begin your journey toward healing.
At Beth McCay Psychotherapy, I provide counselling, psychotherapy, and EMDR in Northampton, while also supporting clients in Milton Keynes, Luton, Dunstable, Buckingham, and the surrounding areas through my wider service, Serendipity Psychology Beds and Bucks.
Issues People Often Come to Therapy For:
Anxiety – including panic, phobias, and general worry
Depression and low mood – feeling stuck, hopeless, or unmotivated
Trauma and PTSD – processing difficult or distressing experiences
Stress and burnout – managing pressures at work, home, or study
Relationship difficulties – communication struggles, separation, or family issues
Grief and loss – bereavement or adjusting to major life changes
Low self-esteem or confidence – feeling not good enough or self-critical
Life transitions – such as career changes, parenthood, or retirement
Compassionate, Evidence-Based Support
As a BACP-accredited psychotherapist with specialist training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), I tailor therapy to your unique needs. My aim is to provide compassionate care and practical tools to help you move forward.
I also offer a free 15-minute introductory call so you can ask questions and see if therapy feels right for you.
