I’m Catherine Hallissey, a Chartered Psychologist supporting children, teenagers and their parents.
I help families understand what’s going on when a child is struggling, whether that's with anxiety, big emotions, behaviour, confidence, relationships or learning, and work with parents to figure out the best way forward.
I offer parent consultations, child and adolescent psychology support and psychoeducational assessments from my practice in Cork.
Not sure where to start? A parent consultation is usually the best first step.
How I Can Help
Parent Consultations
A 90-minute online consultation gives us time to understand what's happening, explore your concerns in depth and create a practical plan tailored to your child and family.

Meet Catherine
As a Chartered Psychologist and mum of five, I bring both professional expertise and real-life parenting experience to my work with children, teenagers and their families.
My approach is practical, warm and relationship-focused. I help parents make sense of what’s happening for their child, understand the psychology behind it and find realistic ways forward that work for their family.
I believe in playing the long game, supporting children while strengthening relationships, building skills and making family life feel a little easier along the way.
