Mr Niall McGuire

Psychotherapist

“An experienced, qualified and accredited Psychotherapist working with adults aged 18 and over.”

About Me

When life feels overwhelming, finding a path forward can be challenging. I offer a collaborative space for adults to explore their experiences. As an integrative psychotherapist, I tailor our work to your unique needs. We'll make sense of difficult emotions or life transitions together. You can discover practical ways to foster lasting well-being.

Approach

Working with adults, I guide a steady, exploratory process that helps you notice repeating patterns and translate insight into small, doable steps. In my Cork consulting room, conducted in English, sessions move between focused talking and creative experiments, with reflections between meetings to anchor progress. I use attentive listening, gentle challenge and visual or tactile prompts to access feelings that words alone may miss, then shape responses that fit your daily life. This approach tends to suit people navigating loss, relationship strain or shifting self-worth.

Sometimes you simply know that something isn’t working for you anymore, or that you would like to understand yourself and your circumstances better. My experience I have worked with clients for more than six years and have completed over 1,000 clinical hours. I hold a Master’s degree in Integrative Psychotherapy and a BA (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy, and I am an IACP-accredited Integrative Psychotherapist. My practice is based in Cork City Centre, where I offer confidential in-person psychotherapy. Online therapy is also available. Taking the first step You don’t need to know whether therapy will be right for you before getting in touch. If you’re considering psychotherapy, you can simply contact me and tell me a little about what’s bringing you to therapy. We can discuss what you’re looking for and arrange an initial appointment if you feel that working together might be helpful.
