About Niamh
Niamh Duffy is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship problems. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around self‑esteem. Her manner is calm and respectful, and she aims to make the first contact simple and approachable.
Niamh uses a person‑centred way of working. That means she listens first and follows the person's pace. She offers gentle guidance rather than imposing solutions, so people keep control of their own story.
Background and approach
She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, for example, can help with panic, obsessive thoughts and social anxiety by spotting patterns and trying small changes. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy supports clearer communication and helps people understand painful emotions in relationships.
Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention back to the present moment and to reduce overwhelming thoughts. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find the drive for change. Niamh has nine years' experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.
She offers sessions by video, phone, chat or messaging, and accepts international clients. The first steps are straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits your life.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative way helps make sure the methods used fit the person's situation and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video allows face‑to‑face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit shorter check‑ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when routine changes.
