About Celine
Celine McMahon is a PACFA counsellor with 15 years' experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and life changes. She works in a calm, non-judgemental way and focuses on understanding the patterns that keep people feeling stuck. Celine aims to leave people feeling supported and more confident after sessions.
Her practice is trauma-informed and draws on evidence-based techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness and attachment-informed ideas to tailor therapy to each person. Sessions focus on practical strategies alongside building self-awareness and emotional resilience.
Celine has worked with adults, young people and children on issues like depression, grief, relationship difficulties and emotional regulation. She also has experience supporting children and teenagers with school-related concerns, friendships, behavioural challenges and confidence.
She pays attention to family of origin issues, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and patterns of codependency. Celine also supports people with ADHD, impulsivity, social anxiety, isolation and finding life purpose.
Her approach is collaborative. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try practical coping tools, and reflect on progress. The goal is steady, lasting change rather than quick fixes.
How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy
Many of Celine's approaches are practical and easy to adapt for online support. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions connect; it helps with anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits by teaching tools to test thoughts and change behaviours. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by retelling personal stories and noticing different possible meanings, which can reduce shame and open new choices.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try a few methods if needed, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. This helps make sure the work is useful and fits the person's life.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and saving travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around school, work and other commitments. Confirm the current session options and formats before booking so arrangements match individual needs and circumstances.
