About Celine
Celine McMahon is a PACFA counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and depression. She draws practical strategies from evidence-based work and supports clients facing life changes, ADHD and social anxiety. Celine aims to make sessions feel calm and non-judgemental so people can speak honestly about what’s hard right now.
She takes a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and looks beyond symptoms to the patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions focus on building self-awareness and emotional resilience.
How Celine works
Celine adapts methods to each person rather than following a single programme. Celine has 15 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including attachment issues, codependency and family-of-origin difficulties. She also helps with feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and supports young adults navigating purpose and direction.
Her practice includes attention to impulsivity, loneliness, social phobia and needs of people who are visually impaired. Celine uses techniques from cognitive behavioural ideas, narrative work and mindfulness alongside attachment-informed thinking to tailor support. Sessions aim to leave people feeling more confident and hopeful.
Celine helps clients develop practical tools and clearer self-understanding so they can manage emotions and take steps towards meaningful change.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Therapeutic approaches in her practice include cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness-based work. Cognitive behavioural approaches involve identifying patterns of thinking and trying small experiments to change unhelpful behaviour; these methods are often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation, which can help with impulsivity and rumination.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then tailor a plan. Clients are involved in deciding which methods to try and how to adapt them over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try different ways of working and bring tools learned in sessions straight into daily routines.
