Psychotherapy Training and Accreditation

Eimear is a qualified psychotherapist and experienced educator. She holds an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from Turning Point Institute/University College Cork (UCC) and a Higher Postgraduate Diploma in Education from Dublin City University (DCU). She has also completed postgraduate certification in Loss and Grief Counselling. Before training as a psychotherapist, Eimear spent over 15 years working within the primary education system. Her background as a teacher enriches her therapeutic approach, particularly in her work with parents, families, and individuals navigating educational or developmental challenges. Eimear is an accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and is committed to the highest ethical and professional standards. She engages in ongoing supervision and continuous professional development in line with the IACP code of ethics.

Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach

Eimear works from an integrative, person-centred, humanistic, and neuro-affirming perspective. Her approach is grounded in the belief that therapy is most effective when it is built on genuine human connection. She aims to create a therapeutic relationship characterised by warmth, safety, respect, and an openness to exploring the full range of a client’s emotional experience. Her work is influenced by humanistic psychology, existential psychotherapy, and person-centred theory, each of which supports her commitment to seeing clients as whole, capable individuals who benefit from being deeply understood. A central element of Eimear’s practice is fostering relational depth. It allows moments where clients feel genuinely seen and understood at a level that allows them to explore difficult emotions, long-standing patterns, and vulnerabilities with greater freedom. It supports clients in developing a stronger sense of self, enhances their capacity for self-acceptance, and allows them to experience new ways of relating — both within therapy and in their lives outside it.

Counselling Experience and Areas of Interest

Eimear is experienced working with both short-term focused therapy and long-term, in-depth psychotherapy. She supports individuals across a broad range of emotional and relational concerns, including anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem, stress, work‑related challenges, family and relationship difficulties. She also works with grief, bereavement, and experiences of loss. Her postgraduate research explored loss through bereavement in clinical practice during and after the Covid‑19 pandemic in Ireland, which further informs her sensitive and nuanced work in this area. Her therapeutic work often centres on developing self‑compassion and strengthening a client’s relationship with themselves, which she believes is essential for building healthier relationships with others and engaging more fully with the world. Her background in education and as a parent enables her to support parents and families navigating complex behavioural or developmental issues, particularly those with children or adolescents who present with additional needs. She also works with adults navigating periods of transition, identity, and neurotype exploration, and during periods of significant personal change. Alongside her clinical practice, Eimear remains engaged in psychotherapy research and contributes academically as a dissertation supervisor on the MSc programme at Turning Point Institute.
