Suicidal Ideation Counselling in Cavan

In my practice, I strive to provide an environment of safety for clients to develop a compassionate awareness of the problems they are facing. My training has allowed me to develop a strong ability to listen deeply to what clients need; providing a much-needed sound wall so that the client does not feel alone with their problems. In this manner, we as clients can develop a patient understanding of any issue we face, i.e. anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation , grief among many others. I work with clients to improve their lives and their management of personal problems in a collaborative, communicative and safe context.

I provide a confidential, non-judgmental and safe space, and I can help you make meaningful changes in your life. Thus, I will assist you in overcoming obstacles and moving in the desired direction. I am a Psychologist and Psychotherapist and have experience working in local communities, international organisations, and voluntary in the area of mental health. I am a graduate member of the Psychological Society of Ireland and an Associate Member of The Division of Psychotherapy. My therapeutic approach is evidence-based treatment cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which includes integrative and person-centred elements.

Taking the first step in deciding to attend therapy is often the hardest part, it can be difficult to admit to ourselves that we may need the intervention of another to assist us on this journey. Coming to speak allows an individual to be heard in way that is specific to them, a singular , and not to fit the specifics of ticking the boxes. Speaking about your way of experiencing life and it's difficulties and challenges, can free up a person and allow them to look through a different lens.

Throughout our lives we encounter situations that challenge us. Sometimes we just can't get passed them, we get stuck and cannot seem to find a solution. As a result we become anxious, stressed or even depressed. I work with clients in a non directive way through psychoanalysis, which allows the client look at their situation or problems, explore the potential causes and find a way of dealing with them. There is no 'one size fits all' solution to personal difficulties, everyone's experience is unique and the psychoanalytic approach allows the client find a solution that is individual to their situation.

Are you feeling gripped by anxiety, stress or depression, over thinking things, experiencing flashbacks or panic attacks or just not feeling yourself and not sure why? If so I am here to help you. I offer a friendly, safe and non judgemental space for you to talk openly and explore those things which are affecting you. I will help you to identify and understand why situations keep occurring in your life. I believe when we are truly heard and held in a safe environment we can improve our mental health as well as have a greater understanding of how to deal with future challenges. I work with adults, couples and young people.
