Ms Mary Allen

Registered Psychotherapist

“MA (Hons) Psychotherapy & Counselling Services”

About Me

I provide a supportive space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I guide individuals seeking clarity and personal growth. My professional background supports a safe environment where you can feel truly heard. This can be a good match if you are navigating life's challenges. I aim to help you gain new perspectives and find your way forward.

Approach

Holding an MA (Hons) in Psychotherapy and Counselling shapes how I work: sessions move at your pace, balancing careful listening with gentle invitations to notice patterns that keep you stuck. In my Athlone clinic and online by English, we make time for grounding skills, slower exploration of painful memories or losses, and practical steps you can try between meetings. The tone is collaborative and unhurried, with an emphasis on small, meaningful changes that many find steadying during transitions, grief or overwhelming stress.
