MARY STAMMERS

My Approach

My work is based on a person-centred approach, which means I see you as the expert on your own life. I believe you have the capacity to grow and heal, and I’m here to support you as you discover your strengths and make the changes that feel right for you.

I also draw on ideas from other approaches when they might be helpful, so our work together fits you and your situation. Everyone’s story is different, and therapy should be too. I aim to offer a warm, compassionate and empathetic space that is respectful and confidential, where you can talk openly, feel truly listened to and explore your experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

My Experience & Credentials

I have extensive experience supporting clients through a wide range of life challenges, including trauma and post-traumatic stress, relationship difficulties, grief and bereavement, depression and anxiety, the emotional impact of miscarriage, menopause, sexual concerns and couples seeking to strengthen or rebuild their relationships.

I hold a BSc (Honours) Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Middlesex University and am a fully accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MIACP). My specialised training includes certifications in Trauma Work, Couple and Relationship Counselling and a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Sexology.

I’m committed to providing the highest quality of care, which means continually developing my knowledge and skills. I regularly attend courses, workshops and continuing professional development events to stay current with best practices in the field.

Creating a Safe Space

Above all, I believe that therapy works best when you feel safe, respected and genuinely understood. My practice is built on creating that foundation, a confidential space where you can be yourself, explore difficult emotions without judgment and find your own path forward.
