About Niamh
Niamh Allen is a BACP Accredited counsellor and cognitive behavioural therapist who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and eating-related difficulties. She works with people who are navigating LGBTQIA+ related challenges and those dealing with addictions or relationship strain. Her manner is warm and collaborative, and she aims to create a calm atmosphere where people feel heard.
She has five years of experience supporting a range of emotional and psychological concerns.
Background and approach
Niamh uses a mix of practical talking therapies to help people identify patterns and try small changes that can make a real difference day to day. Sessions are shaped around each person's goals and pace rather than a fixed formula. Niamh draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help with anxious thoughts and avoidance.
She also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to look at how relationships and past patterns affect current feelings. Work in sessions often involves noticing difficult thoughts, testing out new ways of responding, and building skills to manage urges or cravings. For eating and addiction concerns this can include practical steps alongside reflection about what leads to those behaviours.
People can expect straightforward language and a non-judgemental tone in sessions. The aim is to help clients feel more able to make choices that match their values and to find clearer ways forward in everyday life.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit the presenting concerns, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means approaches can be blended and adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or meetings at times that suit work or family routines. Please confirm which specific session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Registered or accredited professionals can still apply these approaches effectively when working remotely, and sessions aim to be practical and focused on everyday change.
