Counselling in Dublin
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.

Your vision will only become clear if you can look into your heart. He who looks only outside sees only dreams, he who looks within himself awakes. Carl Jung

I work within a humanistic, Integrative approach, including approaches such as CBT and Existential Psychotherapy. I believe in the client guiding where each session goes and gaining autonomy and confidence in what they need and want to focus on in therapy, as time goes on. As the therapist, I work in a collaborative way alongside the client and help them to explore, what in their lives and relationships might be troubling them, including the relationship we have with ourselves. I believe that each person can tap into an inner self that guides and protects them and that each person has the resilience within them to face any struggle.

Troubled, conflicted, anxious or distressed? Struggling with loss or identity issues? Feel a relationship is in difficulty or things are not going well at home, work or college? Perhaps you are struggling to cope after receiving a medical diagnosis or wondering why you became ill in the first place? Going to therapy allows you to talk about what you are experiencing, explore reasons, develop solutions and help you attain a stronger, more fulfilled and creative self. An important part is sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship with a specially trained therapist.

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.

Whether you saw it it coming or didn’t, the feeling is the same: You’re devastated. You gasp at your vulnerability and wonder, “Why did this happen?”
Life dishes up so many hardships: heartbreak, illness, injury, death, abandonment. Though we may share similar experiences, every hurt is personal. No matter how many times well-meaning people say, “We understand,” they don’t.
