Counselling for Teens and Adolescents in Cork
My ideal client is someone who feels stuck in their mind, battling anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm daily. They're high-functioning professionals who appear to have it all together on the outside, but inside, they're struggling. Racing thoughts won't switch off, keeping them trapped in worry and what-ifs. Overthinking every decision leads to self-doubt and frustration. They're emotionally exhausted from constantly managing anxiety, stress, or past trauma—feeling lost, disconnected, unsure of who they are anymore. Poor sleep and mental fog make it harder to function each day. They're burnt out from years of pushing through

Welcome to Your Space!
I’m Anna, a therapist with dual background in Psychology and Art Therapy. I believe healing begins with feeling truly heard, which is why I strive to provide a warm, open, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace.
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all—Hence I tailor each session to your individual needs, whether through conversation, creative expression, or a combination of both.
My role is to support you in uncovering your strengths, processing challenges, and finding clarity in whatever you’re going through.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
