Christian Therapists in Dublin
Both individuals and couples want to feel empowered to live our best life. But we don’t know how — so end up feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated or stuck. We often turn to food, alcohol, people pleasing, overworking and other habits just to cope. If this feels familiar, I can help you take back control. Reaching out is the first step toward reclaiming your power and creating the life you truly want.
For couples, even the strongest, happiest relationships can become strained over time, so couples therapy is about exploring your current emotional distance. Please call because it doesn’t have to be like this for both of you!

I would like to be the guide for that life transformation.

My clients are often high-functioning professionals whose lives look successful on the outside but feel disconnected in their intimate relationships. They may struggle with low desire, performance anxiety, or difficulty expressing their needs and boundaries. Some feel lonely despite being partnered, or held back by shame, perfectionism, or cultural messages about sex. They want to understand themselves more deeply, feel more confident in intimacy, and build relationships that feel emotionally and physically fulfilling.

Therapy is a shared journey.
I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and accepted. I mainly work from a person-centred perspective, which means clients experiences, feelings, and pace guide our work together.
I adapt my approach to each individual, sometimes integrating more directive methods (Choice Theory, CBT) when appropriate to support empowerment and positive change.

I don’t have an ideal client as such, I like meeting all sorts of people, however someone looking to engage ideally, is someone feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure about who they are or where they’re going. They may be struggling with self-doubt, life changes, or a sense that they’ve lost touch with their own needs and values. What they truly seek is clarity — to understand themselves better, to feel heard, accepted, and empowered to make choices that feel authentic. Their goal is self-discovery and inner peace, not perfection. They want to feel more whole, confident, and able to live life in alignment with their true self.

I work with clients with varying experiences such as; depression, low mood, anxiety, grief, loss, isolation, stress, difficult emotions. I have a particular interest in the area of disenfranchised grief, and holding space for those clients who's loss is not so obvious to others. This can be very painful as I believe grief must be shared to enable healing. I will listen with empathy, understanding and compassion.

People who come to therapy want to make changes in their life. At some time we will all face circumstances which challenge our resilience: illness; bereavement and mortality; depression and anxiety; trauma and violence; relationship problems; career difficulties; loss of identity; spiritual crisis. When difficult experiences leave us feeling helpless and stuck, the work of self-exploration opens new doors of possibility.

Christian Counsellors
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognise an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
