About Celine
PACFA counsellor with 15 years' experience. Celine McMahon works with adults and young people on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and life changes. She uses practical, evidence-based methods and an attachment-informed perspective to help clients understand patterns that keep them stuck.
Celine describes her practice as trauma-informed and strengths-based. She focuses on the drivers behind symptoms rather than only treating surface problems. Sessions involve talking through patterns, building emotional awareness, and trying practical strategies that can be used between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy and mindfulness-based work. Attachment-informed ideas guide how she thinks about relationships and relational patterns. She adapts techniques to suit each person rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Celine has experience supporting young people with school-related worries, friendship difficulties, family separation, behavioural challenges and resilience. She also supports adults with relationship strain, grief, impulsivity, isolation and questions about life purpose and self-love.
People who come to her can expect direct discussion of worries, simple tools to practise, and attention to patterns that repeat across situations. Her aim is to help people gain clearer self-understanding and to leave sessions with usable steps towards feeling steadier.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Her work uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to practise different responses. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and impulsive reactions by breaking problems into concrete steps and experiments.She also uses mindfulness-based strategies to help people notice and regulate strong emotions. These practices support steadier attention, reduced reactivity and improved stress management.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so check the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Discuss practical arrangements and session length during the initial booking so they suit your routine.
