Counselling in County Dublin

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.

Linda is a qualified Psychotherapist and Life Coach. Linda takes a coaching perspective where she asks reflective questions which help you to recognize whether you're on a path of reactivity or empowerment & choice. Am I producing or perpetuating Drama in my life or am I empowering myself to be more resourceful, resilient and innovative ?

“I’m not perfect, but I’m enough.” Carl Rogers. Isn't that what we all aspire to be. With therapy this is what we can gain together, that feeling of being enough for ourselves. I work in a Person Centered Approach which allows me to meet clients where they are at, at any given time. The session is yours and controlled by you. This promotes time and space for you to connect with your inner self and starts the process of healing.

Most of us are very good at bottling up how we are really feeling, this can serve us in the short term but sometimes these suppressed feelings will express themselves in more destructive ways such as explosive anger, frustration, depression, anxiety, self-harm and even physical illness. I will work with you to gently allow suppressed feelings emerge so they can be explored, understood and given the attention and kindness they deserve. I work indoors, online and outdoors in nature; where ever we decide to work I will create a comfortable, safe and held space where you can talk about and begin to heal whatever is going on for you.

With the wide skill set of an Integrative Therapist, I find that organically, talking therapy and body based therapies harmonise in the therapy room where clients get to talk, to name emotions, to feel them emotionally and to break down their physicality, demystifying responses, such as anxiety, and aiding the regaining of personal autonomy and full participation in life. Some clients are top down, and others are bottom up, and recognising this in how I work with each individual client is essential.

If you are experiencing a time of difficulty or crisis in your life it can be very helpful to have someone to talk to who not only listens to you but who can offer understanding, support and encouragement. A caring, non-judgmental and warm environment makes it possible for you to explore what is happening in your life and how you are relating to it.

Counselling and Psychotherapy supports you in changing what is uncomfortable or not working in your life. Change starts with you and counselling supports that you are the most valuable gift on this planet.

There are times when our capacity to feel better, recover or move on with things can feel too difficult to do on our own. It can help to talk to someone outside of your family, friends and familiar relationships to begin to understand how you are feeling. Therapy is a process that can help you explore issues relating to challenging or traumatic life experiences. I can support you in re-discovering a sense of how you can relate to yourself and others in a more resourceful and empowering way. Giving yourself permission to accept support for where you are at is often the hardest thing to do and the most courageous.

You have taken the brave decision to look for help with the distress in your life.It can feel like you are going to climb a mountain and it can feel impossible! You don’t have to give in to the darkness, or be controlled by your anxieties. I want you to be free of your emotional pain, and help you find your way; to live your life the way you want. I can provide a space where you feel valued and understood, you will feel safe knowing your experiences will be accepted. You can explore with me, at your own pace, creating a place for recovery and growth;allowing you to discover your own summit by becoming the person you are meant to be.

I will deal constructively with your issues, whether they are as a result of the current Covid-19 crisis or not, in a caring, non-judgemental way. I'll help you to overcome obstacles in your life around family, work or other personal problems that may be preventing you from shaping your future in a direction that you find enriching, fulfilling and satisfying. The goal of my work in therapy with you is that you emerge more confident, content, and optimistic.

Counselling can help you find the words for experiences you were previously unable to speak about. You can learn to recognize and express your feelings. Counselling can teach you how to set healthy boundaries, how to be assertive and how to stand up for yourself. You can also learn how to allow yourself to be vulnerable, in a way that is safe for you. You might discover that it is ok to be human, to make mistakes and to change your mind. Counselling can help you tune into your gut and to learn how to trust yourself.
