Counselling in Dublin

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you struggle with over thinking or rumination? Do you feel lonely or isolated from others? Are you carrying regrets from past experiences? You may find it helpful to unburden yourself and talk, in a safe and caring environment. I offer an open and supportive space where we can identify and explore your issues together. I work using an integrative style - which means a tailored approach for each client – recognising that we are all different and have varying needs from therapy. I believe the therapeutic relationship is key and endeavour to build a connection from which we can work together.

I provide counselling and psychotherapy sessions with a humanistic, integrative approach, taking the time to respect the individuality of each client and create a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space. In line with this, my approach to therapy is person-centred, meaning that clients can explore the issues they choose, can avail of strategies that suit them, and can go at their own pace. My counselling sessions to date have mainly centred around LGBTQIA+ issues and neurodiversity. This stems from my passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ community and my extensive experience with neurodiversity in the social care sector.

My intention is to accompany you in a collaborative, receptive and active way in making a positive impact on your life and moving towards your goals by offering a non-judgmental space where you can explore parts of yourself and connect to your needs and resources to break out from old patterns and step into your highest potential. I view therapy as a joint creative process and I believe that each person has already what is needed to overcome their struggles when given the appriopriate environment and that through compassion for all parts of ourselves we step closer to reaching inner freedom and living the life we truly want.

Maybe you have been struggling for some time? Maybe you feel stuck and don't know where to go next? It is understandable and common in our society to experience difficulties with mental health at points in our lives. I believe in working alongside clients to you feel empowered to develop insight, knowledge and skills into what is driving and maintaining problem areas. This is with the overall aim to help you move in the direction that you would like to go.

When something in your life is not how you'd like it to be, or when you're looking for help and support for something that you're going through; perhaps a life event, a particular concern or maybe problems with relationships, at home, in school or at work. Maybe you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, frustration, fear, sadness or other emotions. Stress can be a part of this. Counselling can help you to better understand what might be going on for you, and to find ways to effectively manage feelings, thoughts or worries. My experience is that clients come to counselling because they want something in their life to be different.

Therapy can be life changing. A place where someone listens and gives you the space and support to explore - this can be something which is going on for you right now, and/or something from the past. There is no topic which is "too big" or "too small", and no topic which is "off limits".

Here at Marino Counselling and Psychotherapy we offer both short and longer-term counselling and psychotherapy. Our therapists can provide the support you may require to address any difficulties you are facing. We can also help you to learn about, and come to a greater understanding of yourself. Sometimes these troubles can be overwhelming. People seek counselling for many different issues such as Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Bereavement or Addiction issues. Talking with a therapist can help alleviate the stress and help a person learn to cope with their situation in a better way.

Relationships have the potential to heal. Psychotherapy seeks to fulfill that potential. Psychotherapy creates an atmosphere of connectedness and union, in order that difficult experiences or emotions can be safely shared, acknowledged and integrated. The therapeutic connection becomes the safe space in which this happens. This emotional integration enables change and growth to happen for you. Whether you need to explore your relationships, your internal world or something difficult from your past; therapy has the potential to help.

Sometimes in life you need a place to explore the difficulties that arise. Either behaviours, feelings or emotions. At times you need to be listened to confidentially and without judgement. What troubles our minds can have such a negative impact on the quality of our lives. Psychological troubles come in many forms, relational both to oneself and to others, grief and loss, behavioural problems from anxiety or depression and rage or sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what it is, only a sense that things are not right. The first brave step to take is to share that difficulty.
