About me
Maybe you've spent years wondering why things seem harder for you than they do for everyone else. You might feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted from masking, or constantly questioning whether you're just too sensitive, disorganised or not trying hard enough.
I'm Caitriona, an integrative counsellor specialising in anxiety and neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. I also work with adults who are exploring whether they may be neurodivergent.
I work integratively, drawing on CBT, humanistic and psychodynamic approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you.
My approach is warm, practical and neurodivergent-affirming. You don't need to have everything figured out, or even have a diagnosis, to get started. Counselling can give you space to understand what's going on and make sense of your experiences without judgement.
Alongside counselling, I also offer neurodivergent coaching for adults. Coaching is more focused on where you are now, what's getting in the way and what could help you move forward.
You don't need to know whether counselling or coaching is right for you before getting in touch. We can have a conversation about what you're looking for and work out what feels like the best fit.
What happens next?
I offer a free 15-20 minute call for us to have an informal chat to discuss what's going on for you and establish if working together feels like a good fit.
If you get in touch via email, I will give you a call within 48 hours of receipt.
Training, qualifications & experience
Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling from the University of Ulster
Alongside my counselling practice, I have completed specialist training in Neurodiversity Coaching through the Attuned Approach. This is an Association for Coaching accredited certificate in coach training, giving me specialist knowledge and practical tools to support neurodivergent individuals.
In addition to my private practice, I provide counselling via a community mental health charity.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
