Miss Ciara Healy

Psychotherapist

“I adopt an integrative approach to my practice, incorporating elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Person Centred Therapy. I have a strong belief that no ‘’one size fits all’’ when it comes to mental health care, and I ensure to adjust my practice to suit each client.”

About Me

As an integrative psychotherapist, I believe effective support is truly personal. I tailor our work together, blending Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Person-Centred approaches. This ensures we build a unique path around your specific needs and goals. If you seek a flexible, individualised space to explore challenges, you’ll find a good fit here. Our sessions aim to be genuinely collaborative and responsive.

Approach

Your priorities shape how I work; I adapt pace and focus to your needs, balancing practical strategies with compassionate reflection. I offer sessions in English from my Tullamore practice and online for people across Offaly and beyond, keeping timing and tasks manageable between meetings. Sessions often mix brief skill practice, gentle exploration of patterns, and reflective moments to build self-kindness and clearer choices. This approach tends to suit those facing anxiety, relationship shifts, body-image concerns or major life transitions who want practical support within a collaborative space.
