Ms Shirine Beausang

I am a CBT Psychotherapist and Mindfulness trainer. My aim is to create a warm, non-judgemental, safe space to help you to overcome whatever you are struggling with in life. My aim is to support you to overcome these difficulties, and to live a life that truly matters to you with health, wellbeing and vibrancy. These life challenges can include worry, overthinking, anxiety, depression, panic, social anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, low self-esteem or stress. I have a special interest in ‘third wave’ CBT therapy which integrates Mindfulness, Self-Compassion and Acceptance-Based Approaches. I am a fully accredited EMDR therapist. I am also a neuro-affirming therapist. As an experienced social care worker, I have worked for many years with neurodivergent clients on the autism spectrum and with ADHD.

As a CBT therapist, I work specifically within a CBT model of assessment and individualised, case-formulated treatment plans. I am also fully trained and qualified in Mindfulness-Based Approaches such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy.

I have a special interest in ‘third wave’ CBT therapy which integrates Mindfulness, Self-Compassion and Acceptance-Based Approaches. I find integrating CBT and Mindfulness to be extremely beneficial. You will see significant improvements in your overall wellbeing and resilience to your life challenges. These approaches will help you to rebuild your confidence and enthusiasm, and to live your life in a way that truly matters to you.

I am also an autism-informed therapist who has worked for many years as a social care worker with a HSE funded organisation based in Cork and Kerry, alongside autistic adults supporting them on their own unique life journey. I specialize in ‘late-diagnosis’ autism, those who received their diagnosis in adulthood or who may feel that they have some autistic traits they would like to further explore. As an experienced social care worker, we will address your needs through an autism specific lens. Such as understanding how information processing, social imagination, social communication, executive function and sensory processing have influenced your life experience.

I am also a fully trained and accredited EMDR therapist. EMDR is a type of therapy that helps people reprocess traumatic memories. EMDR is primarily used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but can also be used to treat other mental health difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, and phobias.
