Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach
Niamh’s psychotherapeutic approach is rooted in building a genuine and warm therapeutic relationship with her clients. Niamh believes that a supportive therapeutic relationship can nurture growth and foster positive change for clients within psychotherapy. Niamh works in a paced, attuned way that inherently respects where each of her clients are at when they come to this work. Niamh believes that we owe respect to the mechanisms we each develop that offer protection when navigating life’s challenges. Your work together with Niamh, will prompt a deeper exploration and excavation of yourself, your patterns, attitudes and beliefs, and will encourage you to consider the usefulness of these patterns in your daily life.
Niamh offers a trauma informed approach to her work, blending Humanistic, Systemic, Psychodynamic and CBT models of psychotherapy to best meet her client’s individual and distinct needs upon entering your work together. Niamh also draws upon mindfulness, poly-vagal and biodynamic principles and theories, which unify the mind and body in her work with clients.
Counselling Experience and Areas of Interest
Niamh has almost a decade of experience working with people across a variety of trauma informed settings including residential care, homeless services and with children and families with neuro-diversity in their homes. Niamh has a number of years experience working with clients in psychotherapy in private practice and community based settings delivering one to one therapy sessions and group based well being sessions too.
Niamh has worked with a wide range of issues. Niamh’s areas of interest include working with bereavement and end of life related issues.

Niamh is committed to offering a space that is inherently compassionate, respectful, yet willing to challenge the patterns that may not align with what feels beneficial for you in your life. Together, Niamh supports clients to understand themselves better and invites deeper self acceptance, heralding growth and meaningful change.
Couples Work
Niamh brings an open minded, non-judgemental approach to her work with couples. Niamh observes that couples often arrive to this work when communication has become fragmented and resentments have grown strong. Niamh brings a position of neutrality to her work with couples, meaning that she takes no sides, but rather serves as a compassionate witness who hopes to improve communication between each partner so each person feels heard and understood.
Niamh works with couples to identify unhelpful patterns and habits that have strengthened over time, and to support each partner to hear each other with more clarity and compassion. Your work together with Niamh will seek to interrupt patterns and habits that may be disrupting your relationship’s capacity to thrive.
Niamh works with issues ranging from infidelity, family challenges, fertility struggles, loss and more.
