Mairead’s extensive experience shows in each session. She creates a safe and calm environment, and although she is providing a valuable support service, if feels likes confiding in a good friend. There is never any judgement. She supports you to feel that you are on the right path, making the right decisions.

I actually dont have the words to express how amazing Mairead is and how much she has helped me. When I walk out after speaking with Mairead I feel so much clearer in my mind. She is so kind and the calm that she emits is unexplainable. All my visits are positive and always look forward to the next. When I first went to Mairead I was in the darkest place I have ever been in in my life, I actually never thought anyone could get so low in their life but I did. After a couple of sessions with Mairead I could actually start seeing light again, I could start seeing and feeling the old me, actually I found a new version of myself in the way that the old me upgraded. I feel so much better and still see Mairead and look forward to our sessions. Im on a journey and I am so happy that Mairead is there to help me along and keep discovering myself. I will forever be grateful for Mairead and her amazing calmness, kindness and honesty.

Mairead is amazing I’ve been going to her for over ten years. I’ve been to lots of other people but no one is like Mairead. She is exceptional at what she does and as a real gift and talent for this work. She is extremely knowledgable, professional and dedicated to providing excellent care and support. She consistently demonstrates a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for her clients.

I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Mairead. She’s so understanding, clear and validating to everything I’m going through. I was very nervous starting and not knowing what to expect but the moment I spoke with her I felt at ease and not just seen but heard. Every session I feel like this. She’s a safe space from start to finish.

Mairead listens and observes deeply. She guides with wisdom and patience allowing me to unfold and process my experiences sensitively. Enabling me to gain insights and release patterns, that then allows me to move forward with greater self awareness, self compassion and joy.

I turned to Mairead when I was feeling anxious, even though I had previously tried counselling and other methods of therapy, I felt like I never really got to the root cause and that’s exactly what working with Mairead did. Going to Mairead has honestly been the best thing I have ever done. Mairead offers a safe completely non-judgemental space and I was able to open up more than I ever have with anyone. With Mairead’s support I’ve never been in such a good space. I feel like I finally found something that really works and that allows me to move forward with newfound clarity and peace. Thank you Mairead!
