As a therapist I have attended my own counselling throughout the years and I understand how difficult it is to take those first steps as a client. So well-done in taking the first steps in to therapy. You can expect a warm welcome from me, in a non-judgement, safe space where you will receive empathy and understanding, kindness and compassion. You don’t have to be alone.

My name is Jack, and I’m a qualified psychotherapist based near Cork City offering therapy in person and online. My fundamental approach is humanistic and integrative, with a developmental and relational emphasis. This simply means I draw from many approaches, focusing on discovering and accepting the parts of ourselves or feelings we may have rejected, considering how our childhood and history affect our present, and placing importance on the relationship between client and therapist.

Life can be quite difficult at times; dealing with stresses, relationships or conflicts within ourselves and with others. It can often feel lonely, confusing or overwhelming. Counselling offers a space for you to be heard and explore some of these struggles. It can be hugely effective to help you develop coping skills, manage life challenges more effectively and discover the right way forward for you.

In everyone’s life there are times when we need to reset our learned ways or find new ways as the current ones create emotional pain. Oftentimes it helps to look in detail how things are connected with someone that can provide a safe space to do so. We are all capable to find our own ingenious ways to live a fulfilled life. This very personal learning can be supported by a trained counsellor/psychotherapist therapist. I believe strongly that my function as therapist is to provide the space and knowledge for the collaborative work my clients choose to do and that healing will come from within ourselves where we are in pain.

We often seek therapy guided by feelings of stuckness, anxiety, numbness, despair. In these moments, we tend to look out into the world and try to change everything and everyone so we can feel better. This is true for most of us. However, in therapy, with a presence of attuned and non-judgmental therapist, there is a possibility to look inside and focus on ourselves.

Therapy is a unique journey where we walk side by side to discover a better way of living. As a therapist my focus is to create a safe space, where you can be yourself and speak without consequence, where your feelings can be shared without judgement. Everyone is an unique person with their own experiences, but each of us deserves a chance to explore them and to become the best version of ourselves. The relationship we build is different than those we have in everyday life, where you can express yourself freely, without filtering your thoughts and feelings. We all deserve to be seen and heard.

Sometimes we get overwhelmed by life and what life throws at us. Trying to make sense of what is happening can often feel like we are going around in circles. We may feel we are not coping and have little options available to us. I have worked with survivors of intimate partner abuse for many years. During my time working with survivors, I have encountered depression, anxiety, addiction and low self esteem. Relationships are our key to a healthier life, if your relationships with friends and family or work are causing you anxiety, expressing what is going on for you is the first step to freeing yourself from patterns you experience.

Im a humanistic integrative Psychotherapist who works with a person centred approach. I trained with Flatstone Institute and graduated in 2019. I work using different theories depending on what you the client needs, without an agenda. I like to have a spiritual sense within my work as it helps me understand that we are all individuals and no two clients will need the exact same therapy. I also enjoy using art or music in the therapy room which I feel helps when there are no words for how you are feeling. Meditation is also something I enjoy using within my practice.

Hi, I'm Sean and I have experience both as a therapist and a client. I fully understand that it can be daunting to take the first step to reach out and start your exploration into therapy. I aim to create an open safe space where clients can navigate their personal struggles, emotions, feelings and behaviours. In each session, we will both explore the struggles that present for you, and we will work through these issues by blending elements of psychotherapy and counselling.

My name is Elizabeth and I am a fully qualified and accredited counselling psychotherapist who trained with Flatstone Institute Cork. Reaching out is a big step to take but one worth taking. As a therapist, I work with heart and creativity, meeting the client wherever they are with compassion and acceptance. I provide a safe space for the voice of the individual to be heard without fear of judgment. Sometimes we can be unaware of whatever it is upsetting us and putting us out of balance and that’s exactly what the space in therapy can be used for.

How can I find a therapist in Cork?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or postcode; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or postcode into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counsellors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
