Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counselling in Dublin
Approaches I often use include CBT to work on unhelpful thought patterns, psychodynamic to review past experiences and systemic to consider family and relationship issues.
I believe people have the resources within themselves to find answers and resolve their difficulties, but sometimes need some help along the way. I work with adult individuals, young adults (16+) and adult couples. Working from a humanistic, person-centered stance, I prize the client's ability to heal and grow. As an integrative psychotherapist, I tailor my approach to suit you so that you get the fine-tuned support you need. Clients often tell me they feel truly listened to, understood, and empowered to make changes in their lives.

Once we decide collaboratively how we want to work, I can draw from a number of ways of working , including CBT, ACT and others as appropriate to attain the best results for your goals.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or not quite yourself lately? Perhaps you feel like you are constantly "spinning plates", trying to keep everything and everyone going while your own needs get pushed aside. Sometimes life can look “fine” on the outside, yet inside things can feel heavier, more difficult, or harder to navigate than they should. If this feels familiar, we can walk this path together and figure out a better way. I offer a safe, confidential, and compassionate space where you can slow things down, explore what is happening, and feel truly seen & heard.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
