The Awareness Centre was founded in 2005 and has since developed into one of London’s leading providers of safe, confidential counselling and psychotherapy services for a range of mental health issues. We are based in Clapham (our first Centre) and Tooting (opened in 2019). Michaela McCarthy, our Founder and CEO, also runs her private practice offering counselling, psychotherapy and psychosexual & relationship therapy in Wimpole Street.
