Errol McCarthy, Attachment-based psychotherapist, Member Bowlby Centre UKCP.
About me
My values as an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist:
Our early attachment relationships will have an impact on our psychological health and well-being.
The therapeutic relationship can enable the development of an earned-secure attachment which will have a positive impact on psychological health and well-being.
Psychotherapy is provided with respect, warmth, readiness to interact appropriately and relate with healthy boundaries, the therapeutic relationship provides a haven free from discrimination and a secure base to explore relational difficulties in a healthy way.
Attachment relationships are also shaped in the real world and impacted upon by poverty, discrimination and social inequality. The impact of the social world, including real relationships, may form part of the therapy.
Those who have had their survival strategies and life experiences silenced will be supported in a healthy way within a caring therapeutic relationship.
Attachment-based psychotherapy is inclusive, promote access, welcome diversity, endeavours to be authentic and strive for excellence.
Training, qualifications & experience
My name is Errol McCarthy and I am an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist.
I trained at the prestigious Bowlby Centre based in London N5 1RN.
I have been in private practice since 2015.
I am fully registered and accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy.
I work with individuals who find relationships challenging and find themselves feeling frustrated and suffering alone.
Attachment-based psychotherapy sets out to repair the capacity to be aware of feelings in a regulating way. Part of the work will involve acknowledging past experiences on current feelings.
I would work with you to explore feelings felt in relationships, to regulate uncomfortable feelings in a healthy way.
As your Psychotherapist, I would work with you with the aim of supporting you to enjoy life and to live it more fully.
