MENTAL HEALTH PERSONAL TRAINERS IN IRELAND
If you’ve been searching for mental health personal trainers in Ireland, you’re probably not just looking to lose weight or tone up. You’re looking for someone who understands the mental side of health; the burnout, the emotional eating, the anxiety around starting again.
That’s exactly what I offer. I help women across Ireland build stronger bodies, healthier habits, and better relationships with food and exercise, by combining fitness coaching with psycho-educational tools and therapeutic frameworks like CBT, ACT, and Person-Centred Therapy to support your mindset and emotional wellbeing.
A PERSONAL TRAINER WHO UNDERSTANDS YOUR MIND AND BODY
I’m Alan, an experienced personal trainer and trainee psychotherapist. Over the years, I’ve seen one thing over and over: most women don’t struggle because they’re lazy or unmotivated. They struggle because they’re overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, and stuck in harsh self-talk patterns.
That’s why my coaching is informed by proven psychological approaches, including:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): to help you recognise and challenge unhelpful thoughts about your body, progress, or worth
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): to support emotional flexibility and values-based actions, especially on hard days
-
Person-Centred Therapy: to provide a non-judgmental, empathetic space where you feel understood and supported
These frameworks don’t replace therapy — but they guide how I support your motivation, behaviour change, and relationship with yourself.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM MENTAL-HEALTH INFORMED PERSONAL TRAINING IN IRELAND
Here’s what’s included in your programme:
-
Tailored workouts and access to online personal training sessions that are designed to match your goals and your current energy levels and abilities
-
Realistic nutrition coaching that removes guilt, supports mental health and promotes nourishment
-
Mindset strategies and psycho-education tools to help you build consistency without perfectionism
-
A supportive check-in system and access to my private coaching app
-
A coaching experience that understands and respects your emotional and mental wellbeing
This is personal training, evolved.
HOW PERSONAL TRAINING CAN SUPPORT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
There’s strong evidence that regular movement, structure, and nutrition can support better mental health outcomes, including improved energy, reduced emotional instability, and better sleep.
That said, it’s important to understand that:
-
Personal training can complement therapy, but should never be viewed as a replacement for it.
-
Personal trainers, unless trained and licensed, are not qualified to treat mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders, or trauma.
-
My role as a Mental Health Informed Personal Trainer is to help you improve your relationship with yourself, your body, and your habits, not to offer psychological diagnosis or therapy.
While my training in counselling and psychotherapy informs how I coach, I do not provide therapy to my fitness clients.
Instead, I integrate these frameworks to promote psychological safety, self-awareness, and lasting behaviour change.
WHY THIS WORKS WHEN OTHER PLANS HAVEN'T
Most fitness plans treat you like a robot.
They don’t ask about your sleep, your anxiety, your stress levels, or your inner critic. They just tell you to do more, and blame you when you can’t.
This approach is different.
We build a routine that works with your nervous system, not against it. We take emotional bandwidth into account. We work with your patterns instead of fighting them.
That’s the difference when your personal trainer understands both fitness and mental-health informed approaches.
