About

My name is Tara. I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist based in the West of Ireland. I provide compassionate and personalised therapy both in-person and online, blending insights from humanistic, psychodynamic, existential, and cognitive behavioural therapies (CBT) to tailor a treatment plan that suits your unique needs and life circumstances.

I support individuals facing a range of issues, including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and life transitions. I hold particular expertise in helping clients navigate trauma and complex family and relationship dynamics, and offer evidence-based approaches such as CBT to facilitate effective emotional healing and change.

Inspired by the Ailm symbol, my practice creates a safe and confidential space where you can explore your emotions, experiences, and challenges with empathy and respect. I walk alongside my clients as we navigate life’s challenges and their journey of healing and growth, always in alliance with their personal therapeutic goals.

Whether you prefer the convenience of online therapy or the connection of face-to-face meetings, I am committed to facilitating your healing and personal growth in a flexible and accessible way.

Qualifications & Experience

Qualification Having completed the BA (Hons) in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, I have developed a strong foundation in integrative, person-centred counselling practice grounded in both theory and self-awareness. The programme fostered a deep understanding of the holistic nature of wellbeing—embracing mind, body, and spirit—and equipped me with the skills to support clients with empathy, authenticity, and professional integrity. My studies were both academically enriching and personally transformative, preparing me to engage with individuals in a compassionate, ethical, and growth-oriented way as a qualified holistic therapist.

Building on this, I completed a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which enhanced my ability to integrate evidence-based, solution-focused techniques within a holistic framework. This training refined my skills in helping clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop adaptive coping strategies, and create meaningful change in their lives. Combining the reflective depth of holistic counselling with the structured, practical tools of CBT allows me to offer a balanced, client-centred approach that supports wellbeing from multiple perspectives.
Experience
4+ years in Psychotherapy
With a BA (Hons) in Holistic Counselling & Psychotherapy and a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I practice as an integrative psychotherapist currently working towards full accreditation with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). My approach draws from a rich blend of therapeutic modalities including Person-Centred, Gestalt, Psychosynthesis, Existential, and CBT frameworks, allowing me to tailor therapy to meet each individual’s unique needs.

I have experience supporting clients through a wide range of issues such as trauma, relationship and family challenges, bereavement, and neurodivergent conditions including ADHD and Autism, as well as post-traumatic stress (PTSD). My focus is on creating a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space where clients can explore their inner world, develop deeper self-awareness, and move toward healing and meaningful change.

My holistic training underpins my belief in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—while honouring each client’s lived experience and capacity for growth. Whether the journey involves processing loss, improving connection, or managing emotional distress, my goal is to support each client in reconnecting with their resilience, authenticity, and sense of purpose.
Approach My approach brings together a variety of therapeutic methods—including Person-Centred, Gestalt, Psychosynthesis, Existential, and CBT—so that I can tailor the work we do to what feels most helpful and meaningful for you.

I’ve supported people through many different experiences, such as trauma, relationship or family struggles, bereavement, and neurodivergent conditions like ADHD and Autism, as well as the impacts of post-traumatic stress (PTSD). My main focus is to offer a safe, kind, and collaborative space where you can explore your inner world, deepen your self-understanding, and move toward healing and positive change at your own pace.

With a holistic outlook, I believe in caring for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—while honouring your individual story and capacity for growth. Whether you’re processing loss, wanting to strengthen connections, or finding ways to ease emotional distress, I aim to support you in reconnecting with your resilience, authenticity, and sense of purpose.
