As a certified EMDR therapist for four years, Ciara employs evidence-based trauma processing techniques that complement her dedication to guiding clients through healing and post-trauma growth. She is actively pursuing further EMDR training with the goal of achieving trainer accreditation, deepening her expertise in supporting emotional resilience.

Her human-centred approach emphasises compassion, authenticity, and trust, creating an environment where clients feel supported and empowered to heal.

In addition to her psychotherapy practice, Ciara is a certified Kriya and Kundalini yoga teacher. She incorporates empowering breathwork, gentle movement, and mindfulness into her sessions, equipping clients with lifelong tools for self-care, balance, and holistic wellbeing. Currently, she is exploring Yin Yoga as a means of releasing stress and trauma from the body.

Over the years, Ciara has empowered hundreds of clients to embrace their personal journeys toward a more balanced, resilient, and fulfilling life. Outside of her professional work, she enjoys spending time in nature with her labrador Misty and Labradoodle Bert, as well as music, dance, cooking, and continued learning.
