About

Ms Ciara Orr is a qualified therapist and pre-accredited member of the Irish Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (IACP), offering integrative counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, compassionate, and confidential setting. She is based at Marino Counselling and Psychotherapy in Fairview, a well-established practice known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and thoughtfully designed therapy rooms that support reflection, healing, and personal growth.
Ciara works with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, complex PTSD, trauma, bullying, domestic violence, grief, adoption-related challenges, stress, emotional regulation, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, anger management, work-related stress, substance misuse, life transitions, PMS, PMDD, and broader emotional and mental health concerns. Her approach is integrative and person-centred, supporting clients to explore both conscious and unconscious patterns that may be holding them back. She helps clients develop insight into how past experiences, defence mechanisms, and learned behaviours influence present-day thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
Drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive behavioural, and somatic approaches, Ciara works through a trauma-informed lens that considers the connection between mind, body, and emotional experience. Therapy with Ciara goes beyond intellectual understanding, focusing on how emotions are experienced physically and relationally. Together, she and her clients work to challenge self-limiting beliefs, rebuild self-trust, and reconnect with inner resilience and intuition, with the aim of restoring autonomy, emotional balance, and a deeper sense of wellbeing.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”

— Ms Ciara Orr
