About Tim McLoughlin
Tim McLoughlin is a UK-licensed counsellor and therapist who holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification. He brings nine years of clinical experience working in both private practice and hospice settings, supporting people with a wide range of concerns from depression and anxiety to relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, OCD, addiction, bereavement, and the impact of a terminal diagnosis.
He has an interest in working in the outside space and has supported clients across many life stages and circumstances. His practice also addresses issues such as stress, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, LGBT matters, family dynamics, coping with life changes, and additional focuses that include abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and disability, and personality-related challenges.
His clinical style is warm and interactive, built on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with an emphasis on avoiding stigmatizing labels. His approach draws on cognitive-behavioral methods, client-centered (humanistic) principles, psychodynamic ideas, attachment-focused work, and mindfulness-informed techniques. Tim adapts these approaches to meet each person's specific needs rather than applying a single fixed method.
He recognises the courage required to seek change and to pursue a more fulfilling life, and frames therapeutic work as a collaborative process that is shaped around an individual’s goals and circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early and close relationships shape current patterns of relating. In practice it helps people explore trust, safety, abandonment concerns, and intimacy issues to build more secure and satisfying connections.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges because it provides practical skills and strategies.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. It can support emotional regulation, reduce reactivity, and complement other therapies when people are managing stress, chronic difficulties, or ongoing pain.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tim collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, making adjustments as work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to connect from different locations, and to continue care when in-person meetings are difficult, while still using the chosen therapeutic approaches to support progress.
