Marianne Byrne psychotherapy and counselling service
Marianne Byrne | Professional Counselling & Psychotherapy
An Integrative Approach to Your Well-being
Tailored Therapeutic Style
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on CBT, Person-Centred, Gestalt, and Psychodynamic theories. This allow us to work in a way that is uniquely suited to your personality and the specific challenges you are facing.
Collaboration & Empowerment
Counselling is a collaborative journey. Together, we work to identify patterns, build resilience, and uncover the internal resources you need to move forward with greater self-awareness and confidence.
Beginning therapy is a brave step toward healing. I provide a compassionate, confidential space where we can explore your life experiences at a pace that feels safe and empowering for you.
A Safe, Non-Judgmental Space
Creating a safe and non-judgmental environment is central to my work. Our sessions are a sanctuary where you can speak openly, knowing that confidentiality and respect are the foundation of our therapeutic relationship.
Flexible Support: In-Person or Online
Whether you prefer the intimacy of in-person sessions at my North Cork location or the convenience of secure online psychotherapy, I ensure the same level of professional care and therapeutic connection in every meeting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from our first therapy session?
In our first meeting, I focus on creating a warm and safe environment where you can comfortably share what brings you to therapy. We will explore your current challenges and discuss how my therapeutic approach can best support your unique needs and goals.
What are your session fees and how long do sessions last?
My fees are structured to be transparent and professional, reflecting the high quality of care provided. Each individual therapy session lasts fifty minutes. We will discuss specific financial details during our initial contact to ensure everything is clear from the start.
Is online psychotherapy as effective as in-person sessions?
Yes, online therapy offers the same standard of professional support and therapeutic depth as in-person work. It provides greater flexibility and allows you to attend sessions from the comfort of your own home, using a secure and confidential platform to maintain your privacy.
How many sessions will I need to see improvement?
The therapeutic journey is deeply personal and varies for everyone. Some clients benefit from short-term counselling focused on specific issues, while others engage in longer-term psychotherapy to explore deeper patterns. I work at a pace that feels right for you.
