My Process
As a therapist, I offer a calm and confidential space, both with online and in-person appointments in Kenmare, County Kerry. In therapy, you can explore thoughts and feelings relating to current problems and symptoms, whilst making links with past or earlier experiences and having opportunities to share and process experiences. You will learn techniques to manage symptoms of low mood and depression or anxiety presentations, including worry, social anxiety, health anxiety, panic, OCD, PTSD and trauma, both single incidents, multiple trauma memories and childhood trauma, managing perfectionism, Low self-esteem and improving self-worth.
My focus is collaboratively working with clients and using evidence-based interventions, helping to develop skills and techniques to manage symptoms, build resilience and coping skills, develop self-regulation, reprocess and support clients to move forward with more strength and confidence.
I have experience working on an individual therapy basis and also experience working with mental health workshops and running groups for clients with symptoms of social anxiety and mental health difficulties in older adults. The focus has been on teaching techniques in a group setting, to help overcome anxiety in social situations and manage low mood and rebuild self-confidence, improve self-esteem, and this has also been helpful to build social connections, normalise symptoms and reduce stigma around mental health difficulties.
During the past 3 years, I have worked with an online therapy business and, more recently, worked as a self-employed therapist and developed a private practice.

Evidence-based therapy tailored to each individual, helping clients develop practical skills that support lasting emotional wellbeing.
A safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel supported throughout their therapy journey.
Depression
Living with depression can affect every part of a person's life, from relationships and work to sleep, motivation, and physical health. Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emotional numbness often develop gradually, making it difficult to recognise when support is needed. Through evidence-based depression therapy,
Siobhan works collaboratively with each client to understand the patterns of thinking and behaviour that may be maintaining their difficulties. Therapy is tailored to individual needs, helping clients develop practical coping strategies, build resilience, and regain confidence in everyday life. For people living with persistent symptoms or exploring major depressive disorder treatments, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers structured, effective techniques that focus on creating meaningful and lasting change at a pace that feels manageable.
Anxiety Conditions
Anxiety affects everyone differently and can develop gradually or appear suddenly during difficult periods in life. Some people experience constant worry, while others struggle with social anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, perfectionism, or ongoing stress that begins to interfere with work, relationships, or everyday activities. Anxiety can also be closely linked with PTSD, making it difficult to feel safe or in control after a traumatic experience.
As an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and trained EMDR therapist, Siobhan provides evidence-based anxiety therapy that helps clients understand the patterns keeping anxiety going while building practical coping strategies that support long-term emotional wellbeing. Every therapy plan is tailored to the individual, creating a safe, supportive space where lasting progress can be made at a comfortable pace.
PTSD
Trauma can have a lasting impact on emotional well-being, even many years after the original event. Some people experience difficulties following a single incident trauma, while others may be living with the effects of complex trauma or unresolved childhood trauma that continues to influence their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, emotional numbness, avoidance, or feeling constantly on alert.
As a trained EMDR therapist alongside her Cognitive Behavioural Therapy practice, Siobhan offers evidence-based treatment that helps clients safely process traumatic experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Therapy is always personalised, providing a compassionate and supportive environment where healing can take place without judgement.
Low Self-Esteem
Low confidence can quietly influence every area of life, affecting relationships, careers, decision-making, and overall happiness. People experiencing low self-esteem often develop harsh self-criticism and negative beliefs that become deeply rooted over time.
It is also common for low confidence to exist alongside mixed anxiety and depression, creating a cycle that feels difficult to break without support. Through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Siobhan helps clients recognise these unhelpful patterns, challenge negative thinking, and develop healthier ways of viewing themselves. Therapy focuses on building genuine self-confidence, emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of self-worth that supports lasting personal growth.
Insomnia
Poor sleep can have a significant effect on both physical and emotional health, making it harder to cope with everyday challenges. Many people experiencing anxiety, stress, or other forms of mental illness find themselves lying awake with racing thoughts or waking frequently throughout the night.
Cognitive behaviour therapy is recognised as one of the most effective approaches for insomnia treatment, helping people understand the habits and thought patterns that contribute to ongoing sleep difficulties. By introducing practical techniques and healthier routines, therapy can improve sleep quality while also supporting better emotional well-being and overall quality of life.
Grief and Loss
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no right or wrong way to process the loss of someone or something important. Therapy offers a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore difficult emotions, adjust to significant life changes, and move forward at their own pace without feeling pressured. Support is available for many forms of grief and loss, including:
-
Bereavement
-
Traumatic grief
-
Complex grief
-
Complicated grief
Each person's experience is unique, and therapy is tailored to their individual circumstances, helping them develop healthy coping strategies while honouring the significance of their loss.
