Working primarily from a person- centered approach, I also integrate CBT-informed approaches to look at patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to support you in developing practical strategies for change. Therapy with me is not about being "fixed," but about increasing self-understanding, resilience, and emotional wellbeing, so you can move forward with greater clarity. Welcome to Caoimh Counselling. My name is Valerie, and I hold a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am a pre-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). I bring nearly two decades of experience in teaching, education and chaplaincy, alongside my clinical training which informs my holistic and person-centred approach to counselling. Caoimh Counselling takes its name from the Irish word Caoimh, meaning “gentle” or “kind,” reflecting the values that guide my work: Caomh Anam- care of the soul and Caomh Croí-gentle heart.
