Niamh Orbinski
Niamh Orbinski is an accredited psychotherapist with the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP). She holds a HDip and MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Dublin Business School. Niamh is committed to creating a safe, respectful, and supportive space for her clients, recognising that beginning therapy can feel daunting. Her humanistic and integrative approach allows her to draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, tailoring her work to each individual. She has a particular interest in person-centred counselling and views therapy as a collaborative relationship – two experts working together to support growth and change. Clients often describe Niamh as calm, compassionate and non-judgmental – qualities she views as essential in her role as a psychotherapist.
Alongside her psychotherapy practice, Niamh holds a BSc in Nutritional Science and a PgCert in Workplace Wellness, and is also an Intuitive Eating Counsellor and Yoga Teacher. She runs a weight-inclusive, virtual nutrition practice specialising in intuitive eating, disordered eating, and body image. Her work is aligned with Health at Every Size® (HAES), focusing on health-promoting behaviours rather than weight outcomes.
As a nutrition counsellor, Niamh helps clients explore the roots of their relationship with food and body image. With a decade of experience, she describes her approach as “food and body image therapy,” guiding people toward freedom from diet culture so they can cultivate healthier, more joyful relationships with food, movement, and themselves.
Niamh is also the author of No Apologies: Ditch Diet Culture and Rebuild Your Relationship with Food (HarperCollins, 2023), where she shares her compassionate, evidence-based philosophy on healing from disordered eating and building body trust.
