Dr Eileen Higgins
Psychotherapist
“An experienced, competent, compassionate and person-centred Counsellor working with adults.”
About Me
This experienced psychotherapist offers a compassionate, person-centred space for adults. They thoughtfully integrate various therapeutic methods, tailoring each session to your unique needs and experiences. This creates a flexible environment, allowing you to explore challenges and find clarity at your own pace. Clients seeking a deeply understanding and adaptable therapeutic journey will find a supportive match here.
Approach
Sessions move at your pace, balancing gentle challenge with practical grounding so you feel steady even when difficult material surfaces. I work with adults in Athy and Kildare and online in English, creating predictable structure each week and offering short practices or reflections to try between meetings. We gently track patterns—thoughts, bodily responses and shame loops—and use focused, collaborative steps to increase choice and resilience around addiction, trauma, transitions or anxiety. This way of working often suits people who want clarity without rush.
