Ciara Healy
Fully Accredited Counsellor
As a compassionate and client-centered psychotherapist, I believe that each individual has the inherent capacity for growth and healing. My approach is grounded in the principles of Person-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes creating a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace. I view therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to understand the challenges you're facing and identify ways to enhance your emotional well-being. In addition to the person-centered approach, I integrate a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and psychodynamic approaches, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. This flexibility allows me to adapt to different issues and help clients build the skills they need to thrive. As a psychotherapist, one of my favorite ways to help clients build self-compassion is through the practice of mindfulness and self-compassion exercises. This combination helps clients become more aware of their internal dialogue and fosters a nurturing, non-judgmental relationship with themselves which I believe to be very important for growth. If you're ready to begin this empowering journey, I invite you to contact The Misneach Centre and together, we can explore the path that best aligns with your goals and values. Adults €70 per session
