Ciara has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on that background when agreeing goals and planning the work with each person. Conversations with Ciara are collaborative.
She aims to listen closely, tailor what happens in session, and help people take small practical steps towards feeling steadier. If you want to explore how talking therapy might help, she guides you through the early steps of getting started.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
Ciara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while building a life guided by personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes to reduce distress.Her approach is collaborative and exploratory. Finding the right method is part of the work and she will discuss what feels most useful to you. Together you set goals and decide which techniques to try, adjusting them as progress is seen.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low, and short live chat or messaging is handy for quick check-ins. These options give flexibility for working around busy schedules and for choosing a way of meeting that fits daily life.
