Both individuals and couples want to feel empowered to live our best life. But we don’t know how — so end up feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated or stuck. We often turn to food, alcohol, people pleasing, overworking and other habits just to cope. If this feels familiar, I can help you take back control. Reaching out is the first step toward reclaiming your power and creating the life you truly want.
For couples, even the strongest, happiest relationships can become strained over time, so couples therapy is about exploring your current emotional distance. Please call because it doesn’t have to be like this for both of you!

Difficulties and distress can arise in anyone’s life at any time. Even with the support of family and friends, it may still be difficult to cope and function effectively. Sometimes, it may be easier to talk about personal, family or relationship issues with an independent person. Even without being in crisis, or on the verge of one, underlying feelings of dissatisfaction with life in general may still be experienced. This may also involve profiling and assessment to assist the therapeutic care plan. The Phoenix Centre can help you with these issues in a friendly, professional and confidential environment. www.phoenixcentre.ie

My ideal clients come to therapy feeling lost, overwhelmed, burnt out, and unsure of who they really are. They’ve spent years adapting to meet everyone else’s needs, often neglecting their own, and find themselves repeating painful patterns that create chaos and anxiety. They want to understand why this keeps happening. More than anything, they long to feel heard, seen, grounded, and calmer within themselves, and to build a stronger, more secure sense of identity.

Many of the people I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, fearful, stuck, or like they’ve lost a sense of who they are. Maybe things that used to feel manageable now feel like too much. Maybe you're finding it harder to get through the day, to connect with others, or even with yourself. You might not be able to pinpoint exactly what's changed, but you know something just feels off. If you're here, you’ve already taken a courageous first step...even if it doesn’t feel like it yet. Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you're used to coping alone or fear that asking for support means something is “wrong” with you.

The ideal environment is one that both supports & challenges us. Too often we go without both of these conditions. A Life Coach will tease out and help you create your vision of what you really want your life to be. If everything in your life stays status quo, you will head into a default future. We need another perspective if not we tend to go around repeating our default patterns and getting nowhere. As a Transformational Life Coach Linda will support you to become the successful and truly happy person you know you are meant to be.

How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy is based on the idea that maladaptive thought patterns formed in childhood—that other people can never be relied on, for example—can interfere with healthy functioning in adulthood. Accordingly, schema therapy works by directly targeting such unhealthy schemas, identifying their consequences, and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking. To this end, schema therapists aim to “reparent” the client by offering what they didn’t get in childhood—validation, for instance, or compassion—to reorient their worldview.
Is schema therapy evidence-based?
Schema therapy is still considered relatively new, and research on its efficacy is still in progress. However, some studies have concluded that it can be effective at treating certain mental health conditions, most notably personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Evidence for its efficacy in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD is promising but less conclusive, and experts warn that much of the existing research is of low quality.
Is schema therapy a type of CBT?
Schema therapy is based on many principles of CBT, most notably the process of recognising and challenging maladaptive thought patterns. But because schema therapy also draws from other approaches,including psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, it is not considered a form of CBT. It also typically delves deeper into the client’s childhood than does CBT.
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy does not call for a set number of sessions and is instead open-ended, with the treatment timeline depending on the client’s primary concern(s), progress, and preferences. Treatment that lasts between six months and two years is common, though many clients will start to see progress much earlier than that.
