Eimear Diviney MBACP
Hello and welcome, I’m Eimear (she/her). If you are reading this then you may be about to take a step to reach for support with something you are struggling with or wanting to understand better. Whatever your reason for coming to therapy, I will welcome you in. I offer a warm, holding and supportive space where all feelings, thoughts and experiences are welcome.
Making the decision to see a counsellor is a big step and it can be transformational. Finding the right therapist is crucial, as I believe the relationship that we build together is often the key to therapeutic change and healing. I offer a free 20 minute phone call or zoom call, where you can get a better idea of who I am and how I work. Hopefully this will help you to decide if I am a good fit for you.
My Approach
My approach holds you, the client, at the centre of the work. The work we do together will be led by you and we will collaborate to find a way that works for you, be that short term or longer term, in-person or online. I am open to using creative resources such as images, music, objects or art, to facilitate capturing your experience, and a deeper understanding of you, and what has led you to this moment.
Training & Experience
I am a qualified integrative counsellor. This means that I have trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches that I can adapt to meet your specific, individual needs.
My practice is influenced by attachment theory, psychodynamic theory and body psychotherapy. This means my approach draws on childhood, inter-generational and wider cultural experiences to make sense of thoughts, feelings and sensations in the present. I believe that paying attention to our bodily sensations can enhance our understanding of ourselves.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds and I have specific expertise working with clients, living with chronic and/or terminal illness, or caring for someone with chronic illness and bereaved clients. Alongside my private practice, I also see clients at Mind in Mid Herts.
Prior to training as a counsellor, I worked as a chartered accountant for 15 years in Banking and Professional Service firms. As a result of this experience, I have a direct understanding of the culture of ‘the City’ and similarly highly pressurised working environments.
I am also a mother and I understand the full range of experience this brings from sheer joy and wonder, to stress, challenge and sometimes heartbreak. This understanding is brought into my practice when working with themes such as miscarriage, infertility, transitioning to parenthood, changes in identity, pre and post-natal depression.
If I sound like I may be a good fit for you, please get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
