Keelin O'Dwyer
Psychologist, MSc, MPSI
Verified
I draw upon a range of therapies, including cognitive behavioural therapy,
acceptance
and commitment therapy, compassion-focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, and mindfulness.
I believe that everyone deserves to live a full and meaningful life of their choosing. I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental, and transformative space for my clients and always practice with these values in mind. During times of struggle or stress, we can easily disconnect from what's important to us. I believe you are the expert on yourself and will assist you in getting back in touch with your authentic self. I specialise in the following areas: Stress Management, Life Transition & Change, Confidence, Self-Compassion, Chronic Pain, and Anxiety Management.

I guide and support people on a journey of self discovery and self
acceptance
so that they can develop a better relationship with themselves.I offer a safe container for people to be seen and heard as they begin to reclaim and re–emerge as their true selves.A space to be you.Each person's story and journey is unique where I don’t believe in a “one size fits all”.Therefore I use different therapeutic approaches collaboratively with you to explore what best suits your needs. I care deeply about the well-being of others and am passionate about helping people. I truly admire those who make the difficult and courageous step to seek help.
Dr. Sarah Thompson

I draw on schema therapy,
ACT
, DBT and psychodynamic psychotherapy approaches.
Sometimes you might find yourself being really sensitive and feeling overwhelmed with emotions that are coming out of nowhere, often flying off the handle, or being tearful and upset. You might not be feeling yourself, like you are carrying a huge weight and you don’t know what it is or why. It might be that you feel really tense, and ‘on-edge’ and it’s difficult to relax. It can also be that you feel totally shut-off from others, detached and disconnected, feeling empty and numb. Life has lost its colour. Others constantly feel guilty, find it really hard to say no to others, and live in a constant state of never being good enough.

In a warm and safe environment, free from judgement, you will be able to explore what is going on for you and you will experience respect,
acceptance
, curiosity, gentle challenge, and an appreciation for who you are.
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.

Psychotherapist, MA, IAHIP Assoc
Verified
I believe that the most crucial factors for healing the deep wounds that we carry are the nature of the therapeutic relationships and the development of self-awareness and
acceptance
.
My interest in psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation began after the end of my marriage several years ago, which like many other types of losses, triggered a lot of suffering. Life transition, family and friends losses, the breakup of long-term relationships, stress, anxiety and depression are all part of human suffering. However, we have an innate capability, which we can strengthen, that allows us to navigate and, more importantly, learn from our most difficult life experiences.

Graham Matthews
Psychotherapist, MSc, MIACP
Verified
I am a Person-Centred Therapist and I use
ACT
, CBT and Choice Theory to help clients work through an issue or to help them shine a new light on an area of their life that is not currently how they would like it to be.
When something in your life is not how you'd like it to be, or when you're looking for help and support for something that you're going through; perhaps a life event, a particular concern or maybe problems with relationships, at home, in school or at work. Maybe you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, frustration, fear, sadness or other emotions. Stress can be a part of this. Counselling can help you to better understand what might be going on for you, and to find ways to effectively manage feelings, thoughts or worries. My experience is that clients come to counselling because they want something in their life to be different.

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?

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps you accept the difficulties that come with life. ACT is a form of mindfulness based therapy, theorising that greater well-being can be attained by overcoming negative thoughts and feelings. Essentially, ACT looks at your character traits and behaviours to assist you in reducing avoidant coping styles. ACT also addresses your commitment to making changes, and what to do about it when you can't stick to your goals.
