Niamh Duffy , BACP

Niamh Duffy is a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional challenges. She works with clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around self-esteem and low mood, as well as related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, family difficulties, and women's issues.

Her practice draws on an integrative, person-centered stance that places the client's experience at the centre of the work. Niamh takes her lead from each individual, offering gentle guidance and therapeutic tools when appropriate to help explore feelings, rebuild connections, and develop coping strategies. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Niamh recognises that beginning therapy can feel daunting, and she aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space where clients can take that first step toward understanding themselves and making changes that matter to them. She is currently accepting new clients, including those based internationally.

Integrative approaches and accessible online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-directive environment where the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach helps people explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and make choices at their own pace, which can be useful for relationship issues, low mood, and self-esteem work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessions, compulsions, and stress-related difficulties.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift patterns in close relationships by exploring emotions and attachment needs. It can be especially helpful for couples and for individuals working on connection, loss, or attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Niamh will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and will adapt methods over time so that therapy remains a good fit with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - allowing clients to access licensed professionals from different locations and to choose formats that fit their schedules and comfort levels.
