Miss Ailish Connaughton
Psychotherapist
“I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist working with adults (aged 18+) on a one to one basis, in-person and online. My work is enriched by my lived experience of depression, living with chronic illness, and my background in social care and mental health recovery education.”
About Me
Drawing on my lived experience, I offer an empathetic space for adults navigating challenges like depression or chronic illness. My background in social care and mental health recovery education informs our one-to-one work. I support you in exploring feelings and finding ways forward. Clients find my approach particularly understanding, especially those seeking resilience and personal growth.
Approach
Together we create a steady, compassionate space—whether in Athlone or online in English—where your experience of low mood, ongoing health issues and life changes is taken seriously and met without hurry. Sessions move at your pace: we reflect on feelings, map practical steps and practise grounded coping strategies to manage anxiety, stress and grief between meetings. I invite gentle experiments—short reflective tasks or small behaviour changes—and we review what helps so therapy stays useful and manageable. This way of working suits adults seeking steady, practical support to build resilience and clearer self-understanding.
