Ciara

As both a psychotherapist and former HSE Mental Health pharmacist, Ciara McEvoy offers a truly unique and profound perspective on healing and personal growth. A pharmacist for 30years, Ciara has had thousands of conversations with patients, deeply understanding how life's struggles impact both physical and mental health. This extensive background informs her belief that many chronic illnesses and symptoms can stem from unresolved trauma, life challenges or relationship difficulties. Ciara holds a Masters (MSc) in Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, and is a pre-accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). A session with Ciara is €80.

Ciara’s expertise assists clients who are navigating significant life transitions, including parenting challenges, chronic illness diagnosis, health issues, 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 passion advocate for mental wellbeing, Ciara is also deeply committed to supporting her healthcare professional colleagues. Her insightful 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 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. Acutely aware of frontline demands, Ciara strives to create a safe space for fostering healthcare professionals’ growth and resilience.

Ciara’s collaborative pluralistic therapeutic approach is tailored to your unique needs. As an empowering guide, Ciara helps 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 fulfilling your true purpose. 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.
