About

Ms Niamh Allen, originally from County Wexford and now based back in Ireland after a decade in Scotland, is a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) specialising in both individual and group therapy. With eight years of experience in mental health, encompassing advocacy and counselling roles, Niamh is dedicated to destigmatising mental health issues and empowering individuals to overcome their own self-stigma through open dialogue.
Niamh's professional journey includes extensive work with diverse communities, including the LGBTQ+ community, where she fosters a non-judgemental environment essential for effective therapy. Her advocacy work has equipped her with profound insights into supporting individuals with eating disorders, highlighting the complexities of these conditions.
In her practice, Niamh integrates multiple therapeutic approaches tailored to the unique needs of each client. While rooted in evidence-based CBT, she also incorporates compassion-focused techniques, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and positive psychology approaches. This integrative approach allows her to provide comprehensive support, addressing a wide spectrum of mental health challenges from anxiety and depression to PTSD, OCD, phobias, eating disorders, and addiction.
Niamh believes in the transformative power of therapy to facilitate personal growth and change. Through CBT, she guides clients in exploring their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours, equipping them with practical tools and skills to navigate life's challenges with greater self-awareness and resilience. Her practice emphasises creating a warm and genuine therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, valued, and understood, fostering a safe space conducive to healing and personal empowerment.
Committed to professional development, Niamh is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and actively participates in ongoing supervision and continuing professional development (CPD) to ensure her practice remains informed by current research and best practices in the field of mental health.

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