Dr Sara McNally is a qualified psychotherapist with a diverse academic and clinical background. She holds an MSc in Pluralistic Counselling & Psychotherapy from the Irish Institute of Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Higher Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Dublin Business School. In addition to her core training in psychotherapy, she completed a PhD in Pharmacology at the School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science, University College Dublin, bringing a strong scientific foundation and depth of analytical understanding to her therapeutic work. Sara also holds a Degree in Genetics from Trinity College Dublin.

Sara supports adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, chronic illness, cancer and relationship difficulties. She works with clients navigating life transitions, spiritual concerns, women’s issues, and the particular challenges faced by older adults and seniors.

Her work is grounded in an integrative framework, allowing her to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs and goals. She draws on Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based approaches, and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) to help clients develop practical coping strategies, deepen self-awareness, and foster meaningful, sustainable change within a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic space.

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

— Dr Sara McNally
