About Ciaran
Ciaran Doody is a BACP-registered counsellor who works from an integrative, relational approach. He combines different relational ideas to shape therapy around each person. He focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.
He also supports those facing trauma, grief, addictions and LGBT-related concerns. He aims to build a way of working that fits each person rather than applying a single method. Sessions are practical and conversational, with space to talk about feelings, patterns and what gets in the way of change.
Background and approach
He pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns affect what is happening now. With five years of professional experience, he has worked with a range of life changes and identity-related issues. He is comfortable discussing topics such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and intimacy-related worries.
He also works with people affected by cancer, end-of-life matters and pregnancy and childbirth concerns. Ciaran is used to addressing complex problems like personality difficulties, paranoia and post-traumatic stress in a paced way. He also helps with everyday struggles such as low self-esteem, isolation and finding life purpose.
The emphasis is on steady progress and building practical coping skills. Therapy is offered in English and delivered online in several formats. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.
The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
He also emphasises practical, evidence-based techniques to manage symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. These techniques teach skills for coping with stress, reducing unhelpful thinking habits and building step-by-step routines that support daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ciaran will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan that fits you. He adapts the mix of relational work and practical techniques as your situation changes, so therapy is shaped together rather than fixed from the start.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into life. Video allows fuller discussion and visual connection, phone calls can be a shorter check-in or suit lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can help when written reflection feels easier. These options aim to increase flexibility and access so people can engage in a way that suits their routine and energy levels.
