Ms Alison McGeown

Psychotherapist

“A professionally qualified and accredited Psychotherapist working in private practise in Galway City since 2004.”

About Me

I offer a supportive space in Galway City, drawing on two decades of experience. As an accredited psychotherapist, I help individuals explore their thoughts and feelings. We work together to make sense of life's complexities. This collaboration fosters understanding and helps find a way forward. Clients seeking a consistent, trusted presence can feel secure here, knowing they will receive professional care.

Approach

Long experience in Galway has taught me to tune into small shifts and patterning, then shape sessions around what matters most in the moment. I meet adolescents, adults, couples and groups in Galway and online in English, offering a calm, structured setting with gentle pacing and clear check-ins. I use collaborative, practical techniques that help translate painful memories, body-image distress or overwhelming moods into manageable steps between sessions. People seeking steady, thoughtful support often find this way of working grounding and hopeful.
