Bellatorem Wellness Counselling & Psychotherapy / Siobhan Harbour

In the words of Irvin D. Yalom “The act of revealing oneself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help”.

Counselling and Psycho-therapeutic Approach

I believe in working with clients to help them understand their emotional needs and achieve their emotional goals. The goal of therapy is to become emotionally flexible, and then learning to behave appropriately to those emotions. I aim to work with clients to acknowledge their past experiences and use this to help them identify and change unpleasant emotions, thoughts and behaviours.

Psychotherapy Training and Accreditation

I am currently refining my expertise in working with Adolescence by completing a MSc in Adolescence Psychotherapy. This will further my knowledge already gained from my BA in counselling & Psychotherapy with Youth Studies along with a BA (Hons) degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy with the Irish College of Humanities and Applied Sciences (ICHAS). I am a member of the Association of Professional Counsellors & Psychotherapist in Ireland (APCP). I am also an accredited member of Association of Adolescent Psychotherapists and Counsellors in Ireland (AAPCI). I have extended my training to develop my skills in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). Along with this I have recently completed a 3 day foundation training course in SPEAKS. This is a specialist psychotherapy designed for working with eating disorders.

I am continuously looking to up skill both my personal and professional development by attending workshops and training seminars to ensure I am working with the most up to date and relevant techniques to benefit my clients .

Counselling Experience and Areas of Interest

My initial interest in psychology began while completing a childcare qualification in college. After taking some different career paths, my journey lead me back to training and practicing psychotherapy and counselling. Throughout this time I have attended skilled supervision and my own personal counselling to ensure professional and ethical boundaries are always maintained.

I work in a trauma informed approach which is important when working with clients who are experiencing such things as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, bereavement and loss. My aim is to create a space where clients feel they can express themselves in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment.
