Background and Experience
Hi, my name is Muireann and I am a fully qualified, accredited psychotherapist. My background is in education having worked as a second-level teacher for over fifteen years, teaching French and working in an autism class with neurodivergent teenagers. As a psychotherapist, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
Approach:
My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect for each person’s unique journey. Drawing from person-centred therapy, existential psychotherapy, attachment theory, and somatic approaches like sensorimotor psychotherapy and polyvagal theory, I work collaboratively with clients to deepen self-awareness, process past experiences such as trauma or developmental wounding, and foster meaningful change. Building on my practice to date, I believe human beings have the capacity to find answers within themselves and that the therapeutic relationship has the power to facilitate healing and personal growth.
I am particularly interested in how early relationships shape our emotional world, how the body holds onto experiences, and how we can reconnect with ourselves in a way that promotes well-being. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, diagnoses, health adversities or relationship difficulties, my aim is to support you in navigating challenges with greater clarity and self-compassion.
Beyond therapy, I enjoy playing music, doing yoga and tai chi, and staying physically active, all of which help me stay present and balanced. I value lifelong learning and personal growth, both for myself and my clients. If you’re looking for a space to explore your inner world, gain new insights, and move toward a more fulfilling life, I’d be honoured to support you on your journey.
