Irish Life Counselling in Dublin
If you’re someone who looks like you’re coping on the outside, but inside feels overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, this might be for you.
Many of the people who reach out to me say some version of the same thing: “I’m holding everything together, but it’s getting harder. I don’t really know what I need, just that something isn’t working anymore.” You might be putting others first, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling unsure of what you think or feel.
On the outside, you may seem “fine,” but inside, you’re carrying more than you know how to manage.

You might be feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed, and not fully sure why. You may notice your mind constantly turning things over or a sense that you are not quite where you want to be in yourself. Maybe somewhere along the way, you’ve started to feel like you’re not quite enough.
Often, the people I work with have spent a long time pushing their own needs aside or holding themselves to very high standards, which can lead to anxiety, overwhelm or low mood. Therapy offers a space to begin making sense of this, to develop a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself and to feel less stuck in the same patterns.

ANXIETY, STRESS, PANIC. If you have difficulty with any of these or related issues such as insomnia, fears and phobias such as fear of public speaking, social anxiety, ocd, maybe I can help. Do you have difficulty with emotion regulation, concentrating, staying present, do you sometimes wish you could relax, focus, be fully present, and engaged? Again, if so, maybe I can help. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a well evidenced, effective therapy for anxiety. Compassion-Focused approaches also have sound evidence backing them up and in my experience can be invaluable in the process of therapy.

I help clients work through issues such as coping with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem and relationship problems. Bringing a warm, non-judgmental space I can help you to explore whatever issue you bring to therapy. I tailor my approach to your needs using my training in a number of models of therapy. I help you to delve deeper into the root cause of whatever you are struggling with so that you can reach a greater depth of understanding and connection with your self. You can then bring this knowledge and awareness into your life so that you are better able to manage yourself whatever obstacles come up in your life.

The way I work is guided by the values of curiosity, creativity, and compassion. My aim is to offer you a freeing, 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 cold. At the start, the process can be like a ball of yarn, with many different threads tangled together. We will collaborate to unravel these threads, weaving them into something that makes more sense and is hopefully more manageable.

I work with adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns they are finding difficult to change. Some clients come to therapy because of addiction, alcohol or substance use, gambling, pornography or sexual addiction. Others may be struggling with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, shame, bereavement, family conflict, work-related stress, or a sense of feeling disconnected from themselves. Often, people appear to be coping on the outside while feeling very different inside.

Clients who attend my practice are adults who feel stuck—anxious, empty, or caught in patterns they can't break. Some come exhausted by worry that won't quiet. Others feel numb, going through motions without joy. Many are navigating hard transitions: parenthood, loss, career changes, and relationship endings. Some repeat the same fights or choose partners who can't meet them. What they share is a willingness to understand themselves. I help by offering a space where you don't have to perform. I listen differently—tracking patterns beneath the surface. Together, we connect dots you couldn't see alone.

Do you frequently overthink? Is your mood low or anxious? Are you struggling in relationships or the workplace? Do you find you are leaning on food, drink, drugs or other substances to help you cope? Have you experienced bereavement or relationship loss? Therapy allows an individual to explore their current situation, their relationships, and to process emotions, understand behaviours and which in turn can strengthen an individual's inner sense of direction, self-esteem and self-resilience.

Maybe you’re an expat trying to stay grounded in a culture that doesn’t quite feel like home.
Or a high-achiever whose ambition has become a source of anxiety, not satisfaction.
Perhaps you and your partner are caught in the silence between arguments, wondering where the connection went.
I work with:
Expats & global professionals navigating identity, belonging and transitions
Couples craving more intimacy, better communication, and renewed trust
High-functioning individuals who feel stuck, avoidant, or quietly burning out
I blend counselling and coaching to help you move through the discomfort to a more fulfilling future.
