Dr Jessica McCarrick

Counseling Psychologist

“An experienced and compassionate HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist with experience working in physical and mental health NHS services and in private practice. Specialise in working with people who have experienced relational trauma.”

About Me

As a Counseling Psychologist, I help people navigate the lasting impact of relational trauma. We can gently explore difficult past experiences together. My broad experience across NHS mental and physical health services, including work with looked-after children, informs my compassionate approach. If past hurts affect your current connections, I offer a safe space to rebuild trust and foster healthier relationships.

Approach

Many clients arrive cautious about opening up; I work at a measured pace that balances gentle exploration with clear aims. I offer appointments in Middlesbrough and online, in English, so practical access matches the therapeutic rhythm. In sessions we notice recurring patterns, link feelings to past and present relationships, and try small, manageable experiments between meetings to test new ways of relating. This collaborative, steady approach tends to suit adults seeking to strengthen self-worth and more trusting connections.
