Art Therapy Counselling in Dublin

I work as an art therapist with children, teenagers and adults in educational settings and in mental health services, using art to support individuals to express their feelings and thoughts. Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses the medium of art to enable people of all ages to access feelings and thoughts that may be difficult to be expressed with words. I adopt a person-centred approach in which I value the uniqueness of each individual and their abilities, in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space. I speak English and Italian.

I work with children and adults. As an art therapist I'll use art as a medium to enable clients to communicate in a safe environment and to help them reflect on emotional issues and gain confidence and self-awareness. I use a client centred approach and therefore I would use an eclectic approach to help client in their therapeutic journey. I am also a qualified EMDR therapist, specialising in trauma. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.

My clients want to increase their strength and resilience in the face of difficult times. They want to learn how to best manage in the face of adversity, and challenge their own blocks. They can be from any walk of life or any orientation.They've reached a point where they feel that they need support and a safe non judgemental space to explore both their own selves and their lives. They may be struggling with their identity for some reason : Adoption, identity issues, bereavement & loss, they have family difficulties, and are commited to positive a change.

Hello, my name is Ciara McKeown, Art Therapist and owner of Unfurl Art Therapy . I am a fully qualified therapist with a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Art Therapy . Clients come to me who are grieving, feeling depressed, anxious, or don't know what they feel but know something isn't right. I also work with clients entangled in toxic relationships, particularly Narcissistic Abuse. Often these clients feel stuck. We work together to get them unstuck!

I value the power of compassionate listening and am led by the needs and preferences of my clients. The creative counselling approach I take integrates visual media, art making, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness and helping clients become their own therapists.

I work in a client-centred way using a client’s strengths to change their relationship and circumstances. I believe that we are responsible for changing the course of our own lives but when we get bogged down in problems it is easy to lose sight of that. I work with challenging thoughts, setting clear and achievable goals, and using one’s strengths to change circumstances. Being a child and adolescent psychotherapist enables me to understand that our coping mechanisms stem from early life and our challenges. In therapy, I find it helpful to make links between early adverse experiences and current problems.

Being a therapist brings me into contact with lots of very brave people who I admire and wish to help to. Whether they need support, professional help or only a chat, I have learned over the year that each and every individual I am working with is unique and therefore deserves unique approach, specifically designed for his or her needs.

When things feel too much it is hard to respond creatively to life's challenges. Our natural tendency is to seek safety in the known and we may fall into old defensive patterns. This can be at the heart of a feeling of stuck-ness in our lives and may show up in anxiety, depression, anger, relationship difficulties, and the feeling that life is more of a struggle than it needs to be. Mindfulness based psychotherapy offers a non-judgemental exploration of feelings, thoughts and perceptions in present moment, and allows a reflection on what may no longer be helpful.

Young people experiencing emotional and behavioural disturbances can find it challenging to communicate or understand why they feel this way. The process of Child Art Psychotherapy can benefit in many ways as it is relational and fosters consistency and containment. The psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approach of Art Psychotherapy incorporates verbal and non-verbal communication to gain insight into the child's thoughts and beliefs systems. The focus of therapy is to understand the unconscious material that influences behaviour and emotions in order to foster change and promote healthy psychological functioning.
