Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Sinead directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Sinead uses therapy approaches online
Sinead often works from a person-centred stance, which means sessions focus on understanding the person's experience and priorities. This approach helps people find their own answers and feel validated during difficult conversations.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT for clients who want concrete steps to manage symptoms. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and introduces simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.
Narrative Therapy is another strand she may draw on; it helps people separate themselves from problems by looking at the stories they tell about their lives. That can be useful for issues like trauma, identity, shame or recurring relationship patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, discuss options and try methods that fit the person's goals and pace. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
