Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Counselling in Kilkenny

I help clients who are struggling with a problem which they know is possibly holding them back from being the person they believe they can be. Maybe you are someone who has tried with some success to deal with your own issues but have reached the threshold of your own ability and now need someone you can trust to get alongside to to complete your journey. You are not sure if you are able to trust anyone as you have always been independent and looking for professional help is not something you do easily. So maybe is time to try working with that professional someone who will listen non-judgmentally to get you over that last hurdle.

Have you reached a turning point, do you feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster right now? A variety of factors lead people to encounter extremely difficult periods in their lives, leaving them with overwhelming feelings of distress. Talking to a professional can help you to make sense of what is happening for you. As an Integrative Clinical Psychotherapist, I can explore these feelings with you in a sensitive and non-judgmental space. I have undertaken extensive research into self-criticism and the inner critic. I have a passion for developing and nurturing resilience to build self-esteem and confidence.

I specialise in assisting individuals who have suffered from Narcissistic Abuse, whether it was experienced in a parental or relationship setting. My practice provides confidential, compassionate, and competent support to help you identify specific issues that may be directly related to this type of trauma. Many adult survivors of narcissistic abuse experience feelings of isolation, hyper-vigilance, confusion, low self-esteem, fear of failure, and worthlessness. Whether you were raised by a narcissistic parent or were in a relationship with someone who has NPD personality disorder, I am here to work with you to resolve these issues.

Hello, my name is Ciara McKeown, Art Therapist and owner of Unfurl Art Therapy.

I suffered from anxiety&panic attacks for 22yrs due to bullying & narcissistic abuse, which held my back from achieving my goals until I got help. Being a Co-dependent people pleaser meant that I was putting other people’s wants and needs before my own, trying to get acceptance, manage the situation and to keep the peace. This was exhausting until I learned how to take my personal power back

I am a qualified psychotherapist with a BSc (Hons) degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and am an accredited member of the IACP (Irish Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy).

“One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful”. My work is psychoanalytically oriented and is based on the belief that you already have the solution. So, let’s find it! The practice of psychoanalytic psychotherapy recognises that often, the language (verbal and non-verbal) of that solution only needs to be heard in order to be consciously realised and put into action. I will help you identify and define this language.
