LGBTQ+ Affirming Counsellors in Dublin, DN

The way I work is guided by the values of curiosity, creativity, and compassion. My aim is to offer you an accepting, non-judgemental environment where you can really be yourself; a safe space where you are encouraged to explore, question and grow in your own time; where every experience, feeling and part of you is welcome, particularly those ones that have been out in the cold. At the beginning, the process can be like a ball of yarn, with many different threads tangled together. We will work together as a team to unravel these threads, weaving them into something that makes more sense and is hopefully more manageable.

If you are visiting this page there is every chance that you are looking for some sort of help or change in your life. Whether you are looking for help with a particular issue, or you want to change the way you feel about yourself and the world, I can help you to make that transition.

Life can be difficult, and we all could do with that extra support at times. I am here to accompany you through your therapeutic journey and make sense of how you experience the world. I provide counselling and therapy services to people across a wide range of issues, for both adult and adolescent clients. I integrate various forms of therapy, including person centred, gestalt, existentialism, and cognitive therapy (CBT), to find the approach that meets your individual need.

Hi! I'm Owen, a humanistic & integrative psychotherapist and counsellor. I work with a broad range of issues. However I also specialise in LGBTQ + and Gender, Sexual & Relationship Diversities (GSRD) therapy. This means that I will provide full acceptance of who you are, regardless of how you identify. I view no person or issue as being more important than another. I see both of us working together as unique individuals. I've seen how life can throw many different challenges which can cause us to question our sense of self. Yet I also believe that such challenges can offer us opportunities to develop and grow - perhaps even flourish!

Are you experiencing events in your life that are hard to manage? Are you feeling overwhelmed and struggling to understand why? Do you feel lonely or isolated from others?

I work from a humanistic client centered framework. Whether if this is to aid with issues of anxiety and all that anxiety pertains to, family conflict, relationship with self or others, anger, LGBTQ Health and more. In my private practice I have a particular interest in working with trauma. I draw from a myriad of therological approachs within my work. Currently I am working in Dublin + Online and available to see clients privately.

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.

I work with people like you, wherever you are on your journey. It may be understanding thoughts and feelings or recognizing behaviours that no longer serve you and working towards reaching positive fulfilment in your life. Learning to trust and understand yourself is the first step in challenging negative thoughts and bringing about positive change. If you are a person who is trans or gender-expansive I will accompany and support you at whatever stage you are at on your journey. Being heard, accepted and affirmed by someone who does not judge or ask you to justify your experience of life can be a deeply healing experience.

When we are suffering we tend to look at all that is wrong in our lives. We sometimes make judgements and assumptions about ourselves or our situations that focus mainly on the negative. We each have developed ways of being in the world that have enabled us to cope with whatever challenges we have had to face. These coping strategies become our defence mechanisms and are often developed by us at an early age when we had few resources. They can sometimes create negative patterns of relating to others and the world around us and become barriers to intimate or professional relationships.
