About Ciara
Ciara Mccullough is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on anxiety and stress. She works with people facing low mood, confidence struggles, relationship difficulties and life changes. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where each person is treated as an individual.
Ciara has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses that background to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than applying one fixed approach.
Background and approach
Her work often includes practical tools to manage panic, obsessive thinking and everyday worry. She blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas with mindful exercises to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, realistic changes. Sessions also draw on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to explore what matters most to the person.
This can help uncover long-standing feelings, such as guilt, shame or grief, that affect day-to-day coping. Ciara has supported people with trauma-related nightmares, attention and motivation challenges, and difficulties linked to parenting or caregiving stress. She adapts the pace and techniques to suit each person’s circumstances and goals.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Ciara aims to make it easier by listening carefully and planning together. She works with people who want clear, practical steps and steady emotional support.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Ciara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and move towards things that matter, which can be useful for anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes to reduce panic, obsessive thinking and low mood.She also draws on client-centred ideas to make sessions focused on the person's priorities and on psychodynamic thinking when it helps to uncover past patterns that still affect daily life. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process - the therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and adjust the approach as your needs and goals become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational session, phone can work when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and caregiving responsibilities while keeping a steady course of contact with a registered professional.
