In the fast pace of modern life, many of us have become experts at coping, managing and pushing through. Everything may appear “fine” on the outside, but inside, it’s a different story: sleepless nights, a sense of overwhelm, decision fatigue and feeling like you’re constantly “on.”
Whether you’re a busy professional, a business owner or someone navigating a particularly difficult chapter, there’s no need to carry it all alone.
Therapy offers a calm, confidential space where you can offload the mental load and finally exhale.
Why People Choose Therapy
The people who reach out to me are often capable, high-functioning adults who are used to managing on their own. They are not “broken” or “in crisis.” They are simply tired — mentally, emotionally and physically — from holding too much for too long.
Common reasons people contact me include:
Ongoing anxiety or overthinking that affects sleep and relationships
Emotional burnout and chronic mental exhaustion
Managing a high-pressure role with little time to reflect
A desire for a neutral, professional space to talk without judgement or unsolicited advice
Working through past experiences that continue to shape present-day life
What I Offer
I provide private psychotherapy for adults in Cork city and online. My approach is warm, grounded and practical. I work particularly well with those who need:
A trusted sounding board, not just advice, but someone who will genuinely listen
Support with stress, anxiety or emotional overwhelm
A consistent, confidential space to think clearly and make sense of things
A way to explore what’s next, personally, professionally or both
I also offer professional supervision for solicitors, barristers and legal professionals managing the emotional toll of heavy caseloads and vicarious trauma.
In-Person and Online Appointments
My therapy practice is based in Cork city centre. I also offer online sessions via Zoom for those who prefer the convenience of attending from home or work. Therapy should fit into your life, not add stress to it.
You Don’t Have to Be in Crisis to Come to Therapy
Therapy is not only for when things fall apart. It can be a powerful tool for maintaining wellbeing, building resilience and staying mentally sharp in demanding environments.
Investing in your emotional health is not a luxury. It is a necessity.
Ready to Talk?
If you’re ready for a space to talk, think and breathe, and begin to feel more like yourself again, I’d be happy to speak with you.
Sessions are private, professional and tailored to your needs.

Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, navigating a difficult period or need a space to talk things through, talk therapy can provide valuable support.
My name is Caroline Crotty and I am a psychology graduate and qualified psychotherapist offering confidential counselling and psychotherapy for adults and adolescents in the heart of Cork city. I also provide a supportive space for professionals and business owners seeking a sounding board for workplace stress, burnout or important life decisions.
The word therapy covers talking therapies such as psychotherapy and counselling. Whether you are coming to therapy with a particular issue, a general sense of unease or a deeper search for purpose and meaning, therapy offers a safe, confidential place to talk to a trained professional about your feelings and concerns. Therapy can help you to see things from a different perspective, break free from old unhelpful patterns, heal past traumas and increase self-confidence.
Talk therapy allows you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a private, non-judgemental environment. It can help you to:
Sessions are tailored to your specific needs and can be short-term or longer-term.
My practice is located centrally, close to Patrick Street and the South Mall, making it easily accessible by foot or public transport.
I aim to respond to each person’s needs by offering flexible scheduling, including early morning appointments from 08:00 and evening sessions. I accommodate new appointments as soon as my diary allows, though not on the same day.
I work with:
Whether you’re a parent concerned for your teen, or a person seeking support for yourself, talk therapy can provide the ideal place to process, heal and to grow.
Managing a business or holding a leadership role can be emotionally demanding. I offer a confidential, focused space to reflect on challenges, strengthen resilience and support you to make informed decisions.
This service may be particularly helpful if you are:
Each session is 50 minutes and takes place in a calm, private setting. As a psychology graduate my approach is grounded in evidence-based practice, and I work collaboratively (with you) to find what best supports your goals.
I have a deep understanding of the challenges in life that we can sometimes face and have worked both in the voluntary and the private sector. Working together I can help you find an in-depth understanding of yourself, of who you are and help you to resolve internal conflicts.
You’re welcome to attend an initial session to see if we’re a good fit. My fee for all appointments – whether online or in person – is €80.00.
