Ms Marta Jaworska (O'Connor)

Psychologist

An experienced, compassionate and passionate Psychologist, working therapeuticly in English and in Polish.

About Me

I am an experienced Psychologist, offering a compassionate and passionate space for our work together. My aim is to help you explore thoughts and feelings, making sense of your experiences. We can work together in English or Polish, moving at a pace that feels right for you. Clients often find a supportive environment here, where they can feel truly heard. This approach is ideal for anyone seeking clarity and practical ways to navigate life's challenges.

Approach

We proceed at a tempo you choose, balancing practical tools with space to reflect so changes feel manageable and lasting. In sessions in Cork or online, in English or Polish, I listen for patterns in how stress, relationships or past hurts show up and help you test small shifts between meetings. Work often blends grounded psychoeducation with gentle processing of difficult experiences, tailored for parents, couples or individuals facing trauma, anxiety or burnout. This way of working suits people seeking clarity and steady, collaborative progress.
