About Niamh
Niamh Allen is a BACP counsellor who focuses on making therapy straightforward and practical. She offers calm, non-judgemental support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem or eating and addiction concerns. Her work is rooted in clear conversation and steady listening so clients can make gradual, meaningful changes.
She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s situation rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions aim to identify immediate coping steps and longer-term patterns that keep problems repeating. That means talking through difficult moments, noticing how habits and thoughts influence behaviour, and trying small experiments between meetings.
Niamh brings five years of experience to her practice and uses this background to help clients navigate relationship strain, family pressures and questions around sexual orientation. She also supports people facing ADHD-related challenges and social anxiety, focusing on practical ways to manage day-to-day life.
Her style combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred conversation, with attention to attachment and emotion-focused ideas when helpful. She works collaboratively with each person to set goals and pace the work so it feels doable.
Sessions are offered in English and Niamh accepts international clients. Fees vary by region and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and aims to teach practical skills for coping with stress, anxiety and eating-related challenges. Client-Centred Therapy centres the conversation on the person’s experience, offering empathic listening and space to make sense of difficult emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods could suit your needs and adjust them as you go. That means trying different ways of working together and agreeing on goals and pace so the sessions feel helpful and manageable.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar setting and want to use conversation, worksheets and behavioural experiments across appointments. Registered or accredited professionals will work with you to adapt exercises and homework so they fit your everyday schedule.
