About Me

Psychotherapist, IACP-accredited Counseller & SupervisorMy name is Mary Cahir. I’m an experienced psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship difficulties and major life changes

I work online with English-speaking clients in Ireland, France and internationally.My approach is practical and collaborative. I don't tell you what you should do. I help you understand what is happening,to recognise patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together we can find ways of making changes for better outcomes.I particularly enjoy working with people who are capable, responsible and used to managing things themselves, but who may be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, stuck or uncertain about what comes next.
Sometimes life looks fine from the outside while internally things feel very different.
I work with issues including:

Change The Response Therapy Mary Cahir
  • anxiety

  • overthinking

  • burnout

  • work stress

  • emotional overwhelm

  • confidence and self-esteem

  • perfectionism, people-pleasing

  • relationship difficulties

  • life transitions

One of my strengths is making complex psychological ideas understandable in ways that you can use them in your everyday life.
Therapy isn't about giving you all the answers. It's about helping you develop a better understanding of yourself and greater choice in how you respond.
Alongside psychotherapy, I provide online counselling supervision, including supervision for pre-accredited therapists.If you're considering therapy but aren't sure where to start, you can book a free 20-minute conversation to see whether working together feels right for you.

Counselling & Psychotherapy

Counselling

Counselling can be particularly helpful when you’re dealing with something happening in your life right now.Perhaps you’re experiencing stress or overwhelm, relationship difficulties, a major life change, or a decision you’re struggling with. We focus on what you’re facing, helping you gain clarity, work through the problem and identify practical ways forward.
A flexible approach, tailored to you
My approach is integrative, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches and adapt our work to you, rather than expecting you to fit a particular method.Some sessions may involve exploring what lies beneath the problem. Others may focus more on what you can do differently now. Often, it’s a combination of both.

Change The Response Therapy Mary Cahir

The goal is simple: to help you understand what’s happening, feel better, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence and choice.

Psychotherapy can help when difficulties have been around for some time or keep repeating themselves.Together, we can explore the patterns in your thoughts, feelings, relationships and behaviour, including how past experiences may be affecting you now. The aim is not simply to understand yourself better, but to create meaningful and lasting change.My approach is flexible, based on your specific needs.

Supervision IACP & BACP

Good supervision provides more than a space to talk about your clients. It can help you think more clearly, develop your confidence, and feel supported in your work.I offer reflective, collaborative supervision, drawing on more than 20 years of therapeutic experience.I work with trainees, pre-accredited and accredited therapists, counsellors and related professionals.Supervision can help you:

  • think through complex clinical situations and make sound decisions

  • develop your confidence and professional identity

  • reflect on your work, including your own responses and reactions

  • navigate ethical questions and boundaries

  • strengthen your skills and clinical thinking

  • build resilience and feel more grounded in your practice

I draw on the Hawkins & Shohet model, alongside other approaches, adapting supervision to you and your stage of professional development.My aim is to create a space where you can think honestly about your work, explore what may be getting in the way, and develop your ability to respond effectively.Supervision isn't about having all the answers. It's about having the space to think, reflect and be supported in your client work.

Coaching

You may be good at what you do, but think about being more effective & less stressedYou might be struggling to manage a demanding workload, find it difficult to set boundaries, feel uncomfortable delegating, or wonder how to communicate more effectively. Perhaps you’ve taken on a leadership role and want to feel more confident in it.Coaching gives you the space to step back, understand what’s getting in the way, and work out what needs to change.

My coaching is psychology-informed, drawing on more than 20 years of therapeutic experience. This means we can look beyond simply what you want to change and explore the patterns, habits and responses that may be making it harder.The focus, however, is practical. We identify what you want to be different, work out what needs to change, and develop strategies you can actually use in your working life.

Change The Response Therapy Mary Cahir

We can work on:

  • confidence and leadership presence

  • communication and relationships at work

  • boundaries and difficult conversations

  • delegation and managing your team

  • prioritising and managing competing demands

  • handling workplace challenges more effectively

  • understanding your strengths and working to them

You don't have to become a different person to become a more effective leader. The aim is to help you become more effective while remaining authentically yourself.
