LGBTQ+ Affirming Counselling in Dublin
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is ideally suited to clients who are undergoing a certain amount of mental suffering, and are motivated to do the slow, demanding work of finding out what has given rise to it. Clients may use therapy to talk about distressing experiences they have recently or not so recently undergone, dilemmas or difficult decisions they find themselves faced with, or symptoms such as depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts and rituals, and some varieties of chronic pain for which there is no apparent medical cause.

I also specialise in child psychology, neuropsychology, and gender & sexuality, offering an affirming and respectful space for children, neurodivergent clients and LGBTQ+ clients.
Sometimes, even when things seem to be working on the outside, there is a constant sense of tiredness, a mind that doesn’t switch off, or a feeling of being on edge. Thoughts can feel repetitive, emotions overwhelming, or there may be a sense that something isn’t quite right, even without a clear reason. Over time, this can start to affect your mood, relationships, and overall sense of wellbeing.

Whether you're grappling with past traumas, current stressors, or uncertainty about the future, I provide a warm and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to open up and explore whatever is on your mind.

Psychotherapy is about a person journey in discovering who they really are. And what they would like to change. Whatever you are experiencing: a mental health condition, a significant life event, or are interested in personal growth, the therapeutic relationship is the agent of change. Helping individuals to understand themselves better, and showing them how to ask the right questions, is the path to change.

You might be facing a major change, whether anticipated or unexpected - becoming a parent, going through breakup, adjusting to a new culture, or questioning your sense of self. You may feel stuck or overwhelmed. Many people I work with want to feel more at ease with themselves, even if they’re not sure how. Together we can move toward greater clarity, acceptance, and confidence, so you can live with more freedom to be who you are - welcoming your quirks, contradictions and all the parts of you that don’t always make sense, but still belong.
