Michelle Kelly
Counsellor, MIACP
Dublin, County D06
My practice and interest as an Integrative therapist is to work in a way that suits your needs by moving between a number of different theories such as: DBT, Person-Centred, Existential, Psychodynamic or Sensorimotor approaches.
I will accompany you as you strive to gain insight into your feelings and behaviours, and remain attentive to you as you examine and explore your concerns. I will support you in developing and enhancing your coping skills, with the ultimate aim of enhancing your emotional well-being. I provide a calm and confidential setting in which you can feel safe enough to begin to explore the presenting issues that are of concern to you. My work is aimed at raising self-understanding and awareness so that, ultimately, life choices can be made from a position of increased personal insight.

You want space to breathe, understand yourself, and feel more grounded again.

I support adults and teens who are navigating anxiety, overwhelm, and stress; self‑esteem and identity; neurodiversity; grief, loss, and major life transitions; relationship patterns and emotional disconnection; feeling “stuck” or unsure of next steps.

I believe that everyone has all the answers to their life struggles but sometimes the answers can be difficult to reach. They might be buried under the day to day stresses or maybe an older experience that makes it difficult for us to employ the necessary tools. In the latter situation, we could find that an impartial, non-judgmental professional can help and support. I have experience in working with a diverse range of clients presenting with depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, addiction, codependency, attachment and relationship issues, low self-esteem, grief and many others.

I offer a supportive, non judgemental space for whatever is holding you back from living life to the full. Expressing what is on your mind can be the first step towards feeling better. Therapy can involve finding ways to manage life's current challenges whilst also exploring patterns rooted in the past that can keep us stuck. You may need support to recover from loss or trauma, help with an issue, behaviour, or relationship that is causing distress. Perhaps you would simply like space for self-exploration and personal growth. Listening carefully to the unique needs of each individual, I tailor sessions accordingly.

My ideal clients are people who appear to be coping on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, disconnected or stuck internally. They may come to therapy because of stress, ADHD or neurodivergence, low confidence, grief, relationship strain, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties or repeating patterns they want to understand. I help by offering a calm, professional space to make sense of what is happening, identify what keeps them stuck, and build practical, realistic steps forward.

Waitlist for new clients
I integrate relational gestalt and psychodynamic theory into a trauma-informed framework to create a safe and grounded environment in which to explore what is troubling you.
As a therapist, I am trained to listen to you in a particular way that is different to how you might be used to being listened to. When I sit or walk with you, I am paying attention to the different ways that you express yourself with words, tone, movement, and metaphor to see if we can get a sense together of what might be underlying what is troubling you or keeping you stuck. Our work together is a space in which you can be as you are, speak as you need to, play with ideas and dreams, and tune into your body as a rich source of information, but importantly, a place in which you can do this at your own pace.
