About Niamh
Niamh Duffy is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns, and speaks English. Her work is person centred, so she follows the client's lead while offering gentle guidance when needed.
She describes a practical, down-to-earth way of working. Sessions tend to centre on naming feelings and patterns that cause difficulty. Niamh uses conversation, reflective listening, and simple techniques to help people understand what keeps problems in place and what might shift them.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is listed among her approaches and is used to look at emotions and attachment patterns in relationships and personal difficulties. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and on Mindfulness to help with noticing sensations and calming strong reactions.
Motivational Interviewing appears in her toolkit to support people who are weighing up change or feeling stuck. Niamh says she will take a sensitive stance when working with trauma, abuse, grief and other painful experiences, and she is attentive to issues such as abandonment, guilt, shame and isolation.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and supportive. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and can schedule an initial session using the See online therapy options button. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How her approaches sit alongside online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and attachment patterns to help people notice and name their feelings. It is often used when patterns in relationships or strong, hard-to-name emotions are getting in the way.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and following the client's lead, helping people feel heard and understood while they make sense of their experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and small behavioural changes that reduce anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and decide with the client which methods to use. This is a collaborative decision and can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and giving options that better match work or family schedules. Registered or accredited professionals provide sessions and will help plan how to make them practical for the client's routine.
