How can I support you in helping yourself?

Hi, I’m Eve Menezes Cunningham.

I believe we all know what’s best for ourselves and love supporting clients, students, supervisees, audiences and readers in tuning into their inner wisdom, their Self, and helping them tweak (or overhaul) their lives, work and relationships for the better.

Self care is so important.

Sometimes it’s as simple as reminding ourselves that we’re worth a little indulgence.

Sometimes, it’s about practicalities and getting better at asserting ourselves, setting boundaries and doing the things that support us day to day as well as to create a better future.

And sometimes, self care can feel life saving – making the time to create and sustain the routines that support and improve our mental health and wellbeing.

Based in Westport, Co Mayo, Ireland (working mostly online – via secure video conferencing and telephone – with clients in Ireland, the UK and world at large), I’m a: 

• writer (author and psychology, health and wellbeing journalist)
• MIACP (Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Accredited Supervisor
• MBACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Senior Accredited Supervisor of Individuals
• MIACP and and BACP Accredited Counsellor
• self care coach
• EFTi Mentor/Supervisor and Accredited and Certified EFT Advanced Practitioner
• Yoga Alliance Professionals Experienced Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist for Mental Health
• Senior Sleep Recovery Practitioner
• NLP Master Practitioner
• integrative coach-therapist (aka therapeutic coach or Personal Consultant)
• life coach and
• crystal coach

From January 2017 to November 2018, I was Chair for BACP Coaching. I served on BACP’s Coaching Executive from March 2014 to September 2019.

I joined IACP’s Editorial Committee for the Irish Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2021 and edited the Summer 2022 edition.

I run Feel Better Every Day with Eve Menezes Cunningham (aka selfcarecoaching.net) and, whether we work together or not, I hope you’ll find the resources on my site and blog, my social media, book and in a wide range of articles and columns helpful.

If you’re after a more structured approach, the Feel Better Every Day online membership programme may be of interest.

They’ll encourage you to connect with your inner wisdom, prioritise your self care, and do more of what helps you Feel Better Every Day.

As a freelance journalist and advice columnist, I write mostly about psychology, health and wellbeing.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to interview world renowned wellness experts including Martha Beck, Robert Dilts, Paul McKenna, Sonia Choquette, David Emerson and Julia Cameron.

If we work together, the choice, in terms of the ways in which you want to work and what you want to focus on, is yours. 

I love working with people who are ready to prioritise their mental health and wellbeing. Taking a unique holistic approach, I help them create happier, fuller and more peaceful lives.

I was (and remain) my first client

I have personal experience with insomnia (from primary school until my 20s), trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, chronic pain (eased by complementary therapies and big lifestyle changes and a focus on self-care) and, of course (who doesn’t?) stress.

I also have personal experience of getting unstuck and making changes – large and small – to transform my own life, guided as much as possible by what brings more joy. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been interested in finding things that work. Tools we can use to help ourselves.

All of the therapies I use have helped me as well as countless clients.

I love teaching people how to help themselves with simple self-care tools for the mind, body, heart and soul.

I introduce many of these tools in my book, 365 Ways to Feel Better: Self-care Ideas for Embodied Wellbeing (White Owl, 2017). You can access free bonus videos and other FREE RESOURCES. 

As well as sharing these tools with clients and students, I use them daily myself.

I set up my private practice after I qualified as a complementary therapist and life coach in 2004.

Since then, I’ve added other therapies and supervision as I’ve qualified in them.

While I love working creatively, it’s important to me to work ethically and effectively. I’m a member of the appropriate professional bodies for the therapies I offer and you can click the logos below if you’d like to find out more.

I offer a unique, personalised, collaborative approach. While I’ll draw your attention to potential ways forward in our work together, the choice is always yours.
