About Niamh
Niamh Allen uses a blend of talking therapies to help people make sense of difficult feelings and take practical steps forward. She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP (Accred) and has around five years of experience supporting adults. Her approach is warm and collaborative, and she aims to make the first step feel less daunting.
She often helps with stress and anxiety by breaking worries into manageable parts.
How Niamh works
She supports people facing low self-esteem, confidence issues, and depression. She also works with eating and food-related issues, addictions, and concerns connected to LGBT experiences. Niamh draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on valued actions.
Attachment ideas and emotionally focused work shape how she looks at relationships and long-standing patterns. Sessions are tailored to each person’s pace and goals rather than following one fixed method. She pays attention to feelings of guilt, shame, isolation and issues around forgiveness and life purpose.
She also addresses social anxiety and phobia and supports people navigating ADHD-related challenges. The work combines practical strategies with space to reflect on meaning and attachment patterns. Therapy with Niamh is spoken in English and she accepts international clients.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the usual process on the site.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then choose actions that match what matters to them. It suits worries like anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and social fears. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns from important early relationships and how they affect current connections, helping people understand repeated relationship problems and build different responses.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Niamh works collaboratively to figure out which mix of techniques fits a person’s goals, needs and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling around work, study and daily life and removing travel time so it is easier to attend regularly. Online work can also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to meet when life is busy. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which formats are offered before booking to ensure they suit your routine and technical setup.
