About

Email: dianeobrienpsychotherapy@gmail.com

Diane O’Brien is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist who offers a warm, compassionate, and integrative approach to mental health support. With a Master’s degree in Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, Diane works collaboratively with clients to tailor therapy to their individual needs. Her practice draws on a range of therapeutic modalities including person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), reality therapy, and existential approaches.

Diane’s focus is on creating a safe, non-judgemental space where clients feel heard and supported. She works with adults navigating a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, low self-esteem, family and relationship issues, parenting difficulties, and self-harm. Her therapy sessions aim to explore difficult emotions, build resilience, and support personal growth and healing.

In practice since 2021, Diane combines her professional training with a background in social sciences, holding a BA (Hons) in Economics and Sociology from University College Cork. She is committed to walking alongside each client, helping them gain clarity and confidence in managing life’s challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or simply need someone to talk to, Diane offers a supportive and empowering therapeutic journey tailored to you.
