Ms Catherine McFadden

Psychotherapist

Hi, I'm a fully accredited online counsellor from Dublin, and I help people overcome anxiety and emotional pain and find calm again. I'll help you identify the problematic thoughts behind your anxious feelings, as well as identify blocks which may be holding you back. Drop me a line today and connect!

About Me

I understand how anxiety and emotional pain can feel overwhelming. My aim is to guide you towards calm, helping you identify the problematic thoughts that fuel anxious feelings. We'll also gently explore any hidden blocks holding you back. This approach helps you gain clarity, finding a way forward. I am a good match for those seeking practical steps to regain control and inner peace.

Approach

When overwhelm takes hold I guide you through short, practical steps to name the thought patterns and gently explore the blocks that keep old reactions alive. From my base in Dublin I offer online sessions in English and Spanish, so we can create a steady, contained space whether you’re local or abroad. Sessions move at a calm, collaborative pace — we notice what's happening, try small experiments between meetings, and adjust what helps. This approach suits adults seeking clear, steady tools to regain balance.
