Meet your Therapist

Ciara McEvoy is a psychotherapist and former HSE Mental Health pharmacist who offers a unique and unparalleled perspective on healing and mental wellbeing. With over 30 years’ clinical experience as a pharmacist, Ciara has engaged in thousands of conversations with patients about what matters most and deeply understands how life’s struggles can impact both physical and mental health. This extensive background informs her belief that unresolved trauma, prolonged stress and relationship difficulties can manifest as chronic illness or persistent physical symptoms. Ciara holds a Masters (MSc) in Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, and is a fully accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). A session with Ciara is €90.
 
Ciara’s expertise assists clients who are navigating significant life transitions such as parenting challenges, chronic illness diagnosis and health-related concerns, work-related stress, relationship difficulties (particularly complex family dynamics), carer burden and bereavement. She specialises in supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, narcissistic abuse, trauma, self-esteem issues, and sensory processing sensitivity (being highly sensitive), drawing from her own innate understanding of these struggles.
 
A passionate advocate for mental wellbeing, Ciara is deeply committed to supporting her healthcare professional colleagues. Her Masters’ research, The Wounded Healer, directly explored the unique needs and challenges faced by frontline healthcare professionals in therapy, including the pervasive issues of stigma in seeking help and emotional detachment within the medical culture. Ciara has also held pharmacist advocacy roles, such as mentoring pharmacists and supporting their wellbeing during COVID-19 and beyond. Acutely aware of frontline demands, Ciara creates a safe and confidential space that supports healthcare professionals’ resilience and personal growth.
 
Ciara’s collaborative pluralistic therapeutic approach is tailored to your unique needs and empowers you to use your own strengths and resources to achieve your goals and find meaning. Ciara challenges the conventional view that psychological distress is something ‘wrong’ with a person, instead reframing it as an opportunity for awakening towards authenticity and meaning. Ciara cultivates a reflective and empathetic space, prioritising your safety, especially when trust has been broken. Ciara’s goal is to guide you towards greater clarity, inner strength, and a renewed sense of purpose, making your healing path feel fully supported and less overwhelming.
