Counselling in Clondalkin

Have you had a difficult experience or disturbance in your life? Have you carried this with you for a long time? If so, this can lead to anxiety symptoms of hypervigilance, sleep disturbance, rage and anger and/or low mood depression and shut down. Are you looking to speak with a trained trauma professional in confidential space of safety and empathy with zero judgement. I put emphasis on providing a safe confidential space to listen and support you. Call, email or text me to discuss your first session.

Source Counselling & Psychotherapy is founded on the belief that within you is a source of happiness, inner strength and resiliency that can enable you to deal with the pressures and struggles life can present. It is from these many sources that greater understanding of who you are emerges, a key factor in finding ways to deal with issues and problems you experience. Exploring your issues can provide you with a deeper awareness and understanding of the cause of these problems - the source. Knowing the source of a problem is only part of the work.

My work is humanistic and integrative. I draw on various approaches to suit each clients needs in providing support and guidance to those affected by childhood related issues, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, suicidal ideation, low self esteem/confidence, relationship difficulties, stress, bereavement and loss, life transitions, anger management among many more. I have a keen interest in paying attention to the natural wisdom of both body and mind to accelerate the innate drive in all of us to heal and live a more manageable and satisfying life.

Positive Connections has been born out of a passion and wish to help others​ in their journey through life. I offer a professional, confidential and non-judgemental space in which you can explore your thoughts and emotions. Life can be difficult sometimes and being able to talk things through with an empathic therapist can offer you freedom to speak freely. I am committed to raising awareness of the transformative power of psychotherapy.

Does your anxiety feel overwhelming? Does it get in the way of you enjoying life, building relationships or achieving your goals? You don't have to face this alone. My particular focus is working with individuals struggling with anxiety. I work with adults and teenagers experiencing anxiety. As a Psychotherapist specialising in anxiety, I've had the privilege of helping countless individuals understand the roots of their anxiety, manage their symptoms, and regain control over their lives. In our sessions, we'll work together to unpack your anxiety, identify triggers and patterns.

Life is not always smooth and can present us with situations, some more difficult than others. Some of these situations can be sorted with the help of friends and family and others may need the help of a professional. As a therapist it is my belief that all clients are individual and so my service will be tailored to the individual needs of each client. My work is to help the clients better understand what their needs are and assist in the changes the client wants to make in order to meet these needs. Counselling is a collaborative process where I will assist each client to set goals and work with them in order to achieve these.

I deal with a wide variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, personal development etc. The ideal client would have an open mind and be prepared to work to improve their situation. I work with the client to assist them to recognise and set their goals with timelines if the client wishes.

You’re about to take the first step on a journey, perhaps to find more joy in life, perhaps to untangle relationships, perhaps to understand yourself or others better. Whatever the reason, if we get to talk, I hope I can help you along the way. I understand that for some people, deciding to speak to a counsellor can be difficult. My aim is to provide you with a safe, confidential, and comfortable space; somewhere you can truly be you, secure in the knowledge that there is no judgement, but instead warmth, understanding, empathy and a friendly face.

Throughout life, many people encounter hardships, emotional distress and anxieties. This can often lead people to become depressed, withdrawn in their relationships, experience low self-esteem, stuck, addicted and ultimately further away from the life they want to live. When we are struggling, we can find it difficult to discover a path towards a fulfilling life. Does any of this sound familiar?

Maybe you have suffered a loss, or are having relationship issues. Perhaps you are just overwhelmed with life in general, and need someone to talk to. The therapy room is a safe space to explore what is going on for you right now, and together we can figure out some tools to help you through.

I am a psychotherapist based in private practice in D24. I use an integration of interventions to help you explore and cope with problems. I like to tailor therapy to the pace of the client to build trust. I am also qualified in a form of psychotherapy called the Energy Therapy Technique. This explores breaking through trauma and emotions that are stored in the body and making you feel stuck in areas of your life. My hope is that clients can gain self-awareness, an understanding of their needs, become aware of their triggers, build healthy coping mechanisms and strength on their journey.

I suffered from anxiety&panic attacks for 22yrs due to bullying & narcissistic abuse, which held my back from achieving my goals until I got help. Being a Co-dependent people pleaser meant that I was putting other people’s wants and needs before my own, trying to get acceptance, manage the situation and to keep the peace. This was exhausting until I learned how to take my personal power back
