About

I’m Clare, a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Limerick. I’m passionate about the power of therapy to bring understanding, relief, and lasting change. For me, therapy isn’t just about talking through problems — it’s about being truly met with compassion and acceptance, exactly as you are. I believe that feeling heard and understood can be the starting point for real healing and growth.

Approach My approach to therapy is integrative, meaning I draw from different therapeutic models to best support your unique needs. At the heart of my work is a person-centred and client-led philosophy — you are the expert on your life, and therapy unfolds at your pace. My role is to provide a calm, secure, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely. Once that foundation of trust is built, I integrate elements from psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and compassion-focused therapy, depending on what feels most helpful. Each session is a collaboration, rooted in respect, empathy, and genuine care.
