My goal is to become one of the best and the most effective Natural Medicine Practitioners in Europe by marrying the best of Eastern and Western Medicine.  With regard to Natural Fertility, I am the middle ground between your GP and an Assisted Fertility Clinic. 

My career has been a game to two halves – I spent the first 12 years in International Data Storage Sales where I travelled all over Europe, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Middle East, US and Africa. 

I lived out of suitcases and planes, and loved it for many years.  But as time went on, I wanted something more fulfilling, so I started my Acupuncture journey in 2008. 

I gained my Diploma from the Acupuncture Foundation in Dublin in 2012 and in Oct trained at the World Health Organization Collaborative (WHO) Training University in Nanjing and was awarded my Licentiate Diploma.

Hi there, I'm Stephen Barry, an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with the BABCP and a proud graduate member of The Psychological Society of Ireland.

My educational journey began at The Open University, where I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with Honors. From there, I expanded my knowledge base at University College Cork, earning a Master's degree in Applied Psychology with a focus on Mental Health. My quest for learning didn't stop there, as I proceeded to Queens University Belfast to specialize further in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, particularly in Trauma, earning my second Master's degree.

Along with my degrees, I've pursued numerous additional certifications such as Diploma in Mindfulness Based Approaches, EMDR Levels 1, 2, and 3, EMDR for Children & Adolescents Level 1, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Levels 1 & 2, and Level 1 Internal Family Systems Therapy. 

For three years, I had the privilege of serving as an Assistant Psychologist and Parenting Therapist at The Bessborough Centre. Here, I provided a myriad of therapeutic and assessment services to both adults and children. Nowadays, I work privately, providing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and children in an empathetic, supportive environment, and always with a strong dose of encouragement.

I'm extremely passionate about working hand-in-hand with individuals to better understand their unique challenges. Together, we choose the most fitting CBT therapy, empowering them with the knowledge and skills they need to overcome mental health obstacles. My goal is to help them experience a more rewarding and fulfilling life.

My own experience with trauma-informed therapeutic support has led me to a special interest in delivering CBT to those grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), developmental trauma, and complex grief.

However, my expertise isn't limited to trauma-related disorders. I also offer therapeutic support for anxiety disorders, depression, anger management, stress management, phobias, as well as self-esteem and confidence issues. I am here, ready to join you on your journey towards mental health and well-being.
