Every person who comes to The Natural Clinic has their own story. We believe health care begins with listening, understanding the person and the reasons behind why they are now feeling that they need support with their mental, physical or emotional health. Our biggest aim is to empower people to become healthy, long term themselves. We want to help you understand your health, make informed choices, develop confidence in your health and to become an active participant in your wellbeing.
Your story matters to us because you are not just a list of symptoms like anxiety, depression, IBS, Fatigue, Infertility, Pain or a diagnosis. You are a whole person with emotional, physical, lifestyle and personal factors that may influence your wellbeing and came to sit in front of us because you have tried to do this alone or tried other options to little or no avail.
We are a team so we (with your permission) sometimes work together with people who need extra support for a time. We want to walk beside you and guide you and work with you on your path towards better health.
Our team of psychotherapists will sometimes suggest a nutritional therapist or acupuncturist or a craniosacral therapist or even a massage to help build energy, release tension, balance hormones, relieve pain or other issues they feel need addressing but with you at the center of every decision.
After your therapist learns more about you they can better build an idea of a plan to help you regain your health. They may be able to work with you alone too, that is the beauty of listening to your evolving story.
Sometimes the best outcome is psychotherapy.
Sometimes it’s nutritional therapy.
Sometimes it’s acupuncture.
Sometimes it’s Craniosacral Therapy.
Sometimes it’s two practitioners working together.
Sometimes it’s simply encouraging you have some tests done with your GP or an ultrasound.

Why I started the clinic.
As a busy Nutritional Therapist working with people struggling with varying levels of fatigue I saw the biggest and most sustainable difference when I worked with people who were also seeing other therapists. When someone came to me and also was speaking to a psychotherapist or an acupuncturist they would often feel better energy levels sooner and for longer. I began using this evidence to suggest my clients visited specific therapists and over time saw that they were healthier for longer. I decided to make it easier for people to get this long term, empowering, whole body approach to wellbeing in one location with a team of experienced and client focused therapists in a lovely building on Sullivans Quay in Cork.
On one of the hardest trials of your life, you don’t need to know which therapist is best right now. You simply need someone to listen, help you understand what you’re experiencing, and guide you towards the support that’s right for you. That’s how we care at The Natural Clinic.
