Psychotherapy & Counselling

You might feel anxious or overwhelmed, low, or like life has become harder to manage than it used to.

You don’t need to have the right words, or everything figured out, to begin.

I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you can show up as you are, and we can begin to gently make sense of things together, at a pace that feels right for you.

I work with adults in person in Douglas, Cork, with weekend availability, and online.

Who I am

I’m Kate Moriarty, a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist based in Cork, Ireland.

I work with adults using an integrative approach, offering weekend in-person appointments in Douglas, Cork, and online sessions.

I know that reaching out can feel like a big step. It’s not always easy to put words on what’s going on, or even to know where to begin. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you come.

My aim is to offer a space that feels steady, down-to-earth, and genuinely supportive, where you can take things at your own pace and begin to gently make sense of whatever feels difficult, heavy, or unclear.

If you’d like to know a bit more about me and how I work, you can read more below.
