Ms Norma McElligott

Counselor

“An experienced therapist working with individuals, adolescents, couples and families. Available for workshops on self esteem issues.”

About Me

I am an experienced therapist offering a warm, confidential space for individuals, adolescents, couples, and families. My focus is on helping you navigate life's challenges and strengthen connections. I also guide workshops designed to build self-esteem, providing practical tools for confidence. Clients find my approach understanding, helping them make sense of complex feelings and discover new ways forward.

Approach

Acknowledging life's challenges and the wish to strengthen connections, I focus sessions on clear, manageable goals guided by what matters to you. In my Cork office, in English, we meet with a steady, flexible pace so teens, partners and family members can bring urgent concerns alongside small changes between appointments. I blend attentive listening with practical tools—spotting patterns, practising boundaries and short exercises to use at home—so progress feels anchored and visible. This approach suits people seeking steady, collaborative change and clearer communication.
