I’m Ciara (MSc, MBACP), a friendly, down-to-earth psychotherapist who works with children, teens, students and young adults. If you’ve been scrolling for a while, unsure where to start, I get it. Looking for the right therapist can feel overwhelming when you’re already carrying so much. In your sessions, you don’t have to filter what you say or pretend you’re okay. In therapy, you can drop the mask, talk about what’s really going on, and know I’ll listen and care about what matters to you. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, low mood, low self-esteem, friendship fallouts, family issues, or loss- I'm here to support you.
If you’re feeling stuck, sad, angry, overwhelmed, lonely, worried, or scared, you’re not alone. I can help you make sense of your emotions and find healthier ways to cope. Clients often tell me I’m easy to talk to, relatable, and someone who really listens without judgement. I bring warmth and calm to every session to create a safe space for my clients.
In your sessions, there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. I’ll meet you where you are, listen without judgement, and move at your pace, gently challenging when it’s helpful, always respecting your voice and your story. If this feels like the support you need, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you take the first step.
First session:
Your first session is really just a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask questions to understand what’s brought you to counselling and what you'd like support with, but mostly it’s a space for you to talk, be heard, and go at your own pace.
We’ll explore your needs, set some initial goals together, and chat about how therapy might work for you, whether that’s short-term or longer-term, weekly or fortnightly. I work in a Person-Centred way but, as an integrative therapist, I can draw on different approaches to support you in a way that feels right for you.
