About Niamh

Niamh Duffy is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and listens first, so conversations focus on what matters to each person. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making difficult topics easier to talk about.

She works in a person-centred way, which means she follows the client's lead and offers gentle guidance when useful. That way the pace and focus are set by the person coming to therapy.

Background and approach

Niamh also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when thinking about thoughts, feelings and interaction patterns. Across nine years of practice she has supported people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and panic. She also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, compulsive thoughts and behaviours, and isolation or loneliness.

Women's concerns and relationship breakdowns are within her areas of focus. Niamh is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English.

She accepts international clients and uses a mix of conversation-based methods suited to the individual's needs. People who choose her can expect practical, down-to-earth support. Niamh focuses on helping people build awareness, make small changes and find clearer ways to cope with everyday pressures.

She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.

How Niamh adapts proven approaches for online therapy

Niamh draws on person-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people noticing and changing unhelpful patterns. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's priorities, which helps when someone wants to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety and panic.

Finding the right style is part of the therapy process. Niamh will work with each person to decide which approach or combination fits best for their goals, needs and comfort. This is a collaborative choice and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps progress. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or travel commitments.
