Shirine Beausang MA CBT, PG Cert CBT, HDip, MA, BA

I am a CBT Psychotherapist. My aim is to create a warm, non-judgmental, 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, PTSD, low self-esteem, or stress.

As a CBT therapist, I work specifically within a CBT model of assessment and individualized, case-formulated treatment plans. I am a ‘third wave’ CBT therapist which integrates Mindfulness, Self-Compassion and Acceptance-Based Approaches. I am 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 am also a fully trained and accredited EMDR psychotherapist. 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.

I am an autism-informed psychotherapist. I have worked for many years as a Social Care Worker with a HSE funded organization 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. 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.
