"At times in our lives we can feel over-whelmed, that we can’t cope, when depression and anxiety take over. At such times we can end up feeling stuck, not knowing what to do next. Old patterns of behaviour and coping strategies, which were once effective, may now operate as a stumbling block in our lives." Hi, my name is Sinéad and since qualifying as a Psychotherapist I have undergone further training in the areas of Somatics and Emotion Focused Therapy with an emphasis on working with trauma, loss and attachment. I use an integrative approach, adopting my therapeutic style to the specific needs of the client.

There are many reasons people seek psychotherapy, including finding understanding, support, hope, insight and relief from different kinds of suffering - Stress (e.g. related to their family, a particular relationship, in the work place - burn out, bullying...); Anxiety/ Panic; Traumas of different kinds (sexual, emotional...); Depression; Low Self Esteem; Grief; Bereavement. The sources of suffering can be complex and hard to access on one's own. The unique ground and fabric of the therapeutic relationship can provide a powerful resource towards healing and vitality.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by difficult emotions, uncertain about your relationships, or disconnected from yourself and your goals, you’re not alone. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, or family conflicts that seem impossible to overcome. Perhaps you’re seeking clarity, balance, and a path forward—whether that means improving your mental health, breaking free from unhelpful patterns, or simply finding a safe, supportive space where you can feel truly heard and understood. I offer support in both English and Serbian/Croatian.

For women in particular, life transitions, especially ones that are tied to physical changes in our bodies (puberty, pregnancy, aging, menopause, etc) can greatly impact our views of our selves. Navigating this amidst societal beliefs about women that don't reflect our needs is challenging. Coping with stressful life events, the impact of trauma, medical illness or grief are just some issues that can be helped by working with a good therapist. My goal is to help women learn to filter through external beliefs, ideas and messages and learn to trust their own experience and develop more agency and confidence in the choices they make.

I am an integrative psychotherapist. This means that I work using various different skills, therapies, methods, and tools and tailor them to each individual client's needs and wants. I work collaboratively with each client to help them to establish and achieve whatever their goals and needs are from therapy. I am client-focused, non-judgemental, flexible, honest, trustworthy, and direct. I work within the client's own frame of reference and within their boundaries. I consider the client's capacity for the direction and time frame of the work. I work with the majority of issues and respect all genders, cultures, nationalities, etc.

I welcome all clients regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Clients who have experienced traumatic episodes in their life. Clients who have felt they have always been on their own. They may have always felt that they have had no one to protect them, never felt loved or nurtured. Clients who feel they are totally disconnected with who they are. Such clients may feel they are totally lost and have no direction in their life. I welcome all such clients to my practice. Together we will find the reconnection to Self and in doing so find a purpose and goal in life.

Therapy provides an open space for a deep and broad exploration into the course and meaning of one’s life – it is about new choices and insights. The therapeutic relationship is the agent of change. Helping individuals to understand themselves better, and showing them how to ask the right questions, facilitates change. Thereby this in-depth approach incorporates the treatment of the individual behind the symptom, so that they do not have to carry the burden alone.

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.

People seek counselling/therapy for all sorts of reasons: stress or anxiety in their home or work life; difficulties in their relationships; feeling low, sad or depressed; a bereavement or major loss; a trauma experienced; panic attacks; a sense of paralysis in making life decisions; overwhelmed by angry feelings. Or maybe just a sense that something is wrong but it's hard to put a finger on exactly what. They want something to change, and need some help to explore and understand their issues better.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are accredited members of the main professional associations, mainly the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and the Irish Council for Psychotherapy (ICP). Most Psychologists are accredited members of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement in Ireland, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Ireland. Psychologists have earned a doctoral degree in psychology and many are accredited members of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI). Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a doctoral degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the IACP or ICP, they must complete a minimum of an NFQ Level 7 programme with 100 hours of clinical experience and a minimum of 450 hours of post-training clinical experience under clinical supervision.
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.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in Ireland could cost between €50 – €90 when seeing a counsellor and €75 - €120 or more when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The National Counselling Service (NCS) is a government-funded service that provides short to medium term counselling and psychotherapy for free to individuals who have experienced trauma or abuse. The service can be accessed by GP referral or self-referral.

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.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online 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 eircode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the IACP, the ICP, or PSI are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others or when a child is in danger, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
