Background

Hi, I'm Ciara, I'm a friendly, down-to-earth psychotherapist who works with children, teens, students, and adults. I understand that looking for the right therapist can feel overwhelming when you’re already carrying so much. In our sessions, you don’t need to filter what you say or pretend you’re okay. Therapy is a space where you can drop the mask, talk honestly about what’s really going on, and know that I will listen and care about what matters to you.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, self-esteem, friendship fallouts, family issues, or loss, I’m here to support you. Clients often tell me I’m easy to talk to, relatable, and someone who really listens without judgement. My aim is to bring warmth and calm to every session so you feel safe, supported, and understood.

My Approach

I am an integrative psychotherapist, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to best support each individual. My work is person-centred, creative, and trauma-informed, tailored to meet you where you are. I’ll always respect your pace, gently challenging when it feels helpful, but never pushing you beyond what feels safe. In therapy, there’s no expectation to have it all figured out, instead, we explore together, making sense of emotions and building healthier ways to cope.

I support young people and adults with issues such as anxiety, low mood, identity, relationships, grief, and loss. At the heart of my approach is the belief that therapy should provide relief, hope, and a safe space for you to develop self-awareness, achieve your personal goals, and move toward clarity and peace.

How do I know if this therapist is right for me?

It’s normal to feel unsure at first. Reading a therapist’s profile can help, and our team can guide you based on your needs. Plus, you’re covered by our Matching Guarantee for added peace of mind.

Do I need a referral from my GP to begin therapy?

No referral is needed. You can self-refer anytime, whether you’re new to therapy or returning.

What happens in the first session?

Your first session is a chance to meet your therapist, talk about what’s brought you here, and see how therapy could help. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready to.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?

If you give 24 hours’ notice (Mon–Fri), you can get a full refund or reschedule once. With less than 24 hours’ notice, fees are non-refundable, but you’re welcome to rebook.

Is there a Guarantee?

Yes. Our Matching Guarantee means if your first therapist doesn’t feel like the right fit, we’ll rematch you once and cover the cost of your first session with the new therapist.
