About Kate
Hello, I’m Kathleen Pidgeon, a fully qualified Holistic Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Claremorris, Co. Mayo. My journey into this field stems from a deep passion for supporting individuals through life’s challenges and transitions, with a particular focus on helping Adults and Adolescents.
I hold a first-class honours Level 8 degree in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy from the International College for Personal and Professional Development (ICPPD). This comprehensive program provided me with the foundational skills and knowledge to guide clients toward personal growth and healing. To further enhance my practice, I’ve pursued additional qualifications, including:
Diploma in Adolescent Integrative Psychotherapy – The Greenane Centre
Certificate in Embodied Psychotherapy – The Embodied Psychotherapy Centre
These advanced certifications allow me to work effectively with diverse age groups and challenges, incorporating creative and body-focused approaches to therapy.
Why I Chose This Path
I have always been inspired by the resilience of the human spirit and the power of meaningful connection. Working in this field gives me the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they navigate difficulties such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, and life transitions. I find it particularly rewarding to help clients uncover their inner strength and learn new ways to cope, heal, and thrive.
What You Can Expect
I create a safe, nonjudgmental, and compassionate space where you can explore your feelings, experiences, and challenges. My approach is person-centred, tailored to meet your unique needs, and rooted in empathy, understanding, and respect. Whether through talk therapy, creative techniques, or embodied practices, I work to help clients connect with their inner selves, build resilience, and foster positive change. I am truly honoured to share in my clients journeys toward greater clarity, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.
