Experienced Psychotherapist Offering Tailored CBT, EMDR, and IFS in Fermoy, Cork City, and Online
Understanding how we feel and why we respond in certain ways can sometimes be confusing or overwhelming. Ceangail Psychotherapy offers a calm and supportive space to make sense of difficult experiences, recognise unhelpful patterns and understand where you may feel stuck.
With over a decade of clinical experience, I have supported adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, low mood, perfectionism, self-criticism, relationship difficulties and the ongoing impact of painful past experiences. I provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, adapting the approach to each person’s needs and goals.
I am a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist, a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist and supervisor, and an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner. I am also completing my training as an EMDR Consultant, further developing my work in advanced EMDR practice and clinical supervision.
Alongside my therapy practice, I lecture and supervise on the Master’s in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy programme at PCI College. This role allows me to support developing therapists while remaining closely connected to current research, clinical standards and developments within CBT practice.
I am committed to offering therapy that is grounded in both evidence and compassion. In 2022, I co-authored a systematic literature review published in Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy titled “Imagery Rescripting and Negative Self-Imagery in Social Anxiety Disorder.”
My advanced EMDR training includes the Flash Technique, attachment-informed EMDR, working with dreams, intergenerational trauma and ego-state approaches. Integrating CBT, EMDR and IFS allows us to work with both present-day difficulties and the deeper experiences or protective patterns that may be contributing to them.
Starting therapy can feel daunting. My aim is to offer a warm, reliable and collaborative space where you feel heard and understood. During the first few sessions, we will develop a personalised therapy plan based on your needs, with regular reviews to ensure the work remains helpful and relevant.
I offer therapy in private and comfortable settings in Fermoy and Cork City, as well as online. To arrange a free initial consultation or enquire about starting therapy, click here or get in touch through the contact page.
