Counselling in Dun Laoghaire

I have a Masters in Family Therapy and can work with families experiencing difficulties such as relationship breakdown and behavioural issues with children. I provide couple therapy as well as individual counselling. I have a range of experience dealing with addiction and eating disorders.

Does anxiety rule your life? Is the grief you are feeling extremely painful? Do you feel suicidal, or have you lost someone to suicide? Do you feel your life is just drifting? Do you need a safe and confidential space to talk just about you and what is going on in your life right now? Is your own self esteem and self worth at rock bottom? Would you like to understand yourself and some of your life experiences more? Are you a teenager struggling with peer pressure/bullying or self image? Are you experiencing any relationship difficulties either within a marriage, a family system or the workplace?

One-on-one client-centred personal therapy using a humanistic integrative approach towards collaborative healing.

Many people come to talk because they are feeling anxious, overtired, stressed. It is often thought that only people with really serious diagnosed illnesses benefit from psychotherapy, they do and I have many clients like that, however therapy is really useful for stressful times as well as diagnosed illnesses.

If you feel desperate, searching for sense, with doubts, or anxious feelings, or sadness, if you feel lost and want to get out, find your path, or just improve, to reach personal life goals to know yourself better, or just be at peace with yourself, or even if you dare to pursue your dreams... if you suffer, but you do not find the answers... come and start therapy at etymonpsychology.com. We treat and intervene any kind of form of human suffering, which encompasses any psychological problem including personality disorders, which are not of a different nature that any other problematic pattern.

As a qualified Humanistic & Integrative Psychotherapist, I draw on different therapeutic modalities to suit each person and their specific needs. I like to take a holistic approach when working with people; together we explore not just mental health needs but also consider your physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. I also specialise in supporting women in their transition to motherhood. As a mom, I know how challenging and rewarding this phase of life can be.

I work with clients struggling with various types of issues from Anxiety, Stress, Burnout, Work and Family Issues. I also specialise in Cancer Support, Loss, Bereavement and Perinatal Mental Health. My approach aims to help you understand your issues clearly, and enable you to work through them. Whatever you are currently going through past or present you are given the space to tell your story in a safe, supportive and confidential environment.

Because we now know that continuous stress can seriously contribute to promoting illnesses as time goes by - I help my clients to take back control over their reactions to their life's stresses. Most of our life we run on auto-pilot because we think we are to busy to change, thus allowing our habits, behaviours, reactions to control us! I help you become more aware, to broaden your perspective, create more empowering options which are right for you. In the process you get to remember your strengths, achievements, talents, skills, to draw on helping you get out of the rut and propel you forward.

Counselling focuses on relieving the burden of mental health difficulties, where healing may occur through talking. Telling your story can have a powerful impact on your existence. Together we will try to understand your coping mechanisms and behavioural patterns, the hows and the whys of it. We will explore how upper past echoes through your present and how trauma may affect the body. Through talk therapy, you can gain a new perspective on your life, find balance and awareness and carry changes you may have found difficult to implement in the past.

As a psychotherapist with a deep commitment to guiding individuals in their journey of self-discovery and empowerment, I'm here to offer you a supportive and accepting presence. I believe that the transformative process begins with an authentic and encouraging therapeutic relationship, one where you can freely explore your inner strengths, abilities, and resources. Through our work, you'll have the opportunity to heal from past relational wounds and traumatic experiences. I understand the importance of genuine social engagement for our well-being, drawing on Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory to guide our therapeutic journey.

You find life is a struggle. However, you have a feeling it does not need to be this way. You have tried various strategies and coping mechanisms, you have given your all and no matter how hard you try, you find yourself stuck again and again! Your mind is anxious about the future as you wonder whether you will be able to sustain such discomfort with life. Your mind also tends to dart back into the past, wondering regretfully about things you did or failed to do. A smooth and easy relationship with the here and now alludes you. You want to try something new. It is time to try 'change' through psychotherapy.

People are all just trying their best, but it is very normal to struggle with life at times. I like helping people who are feeling stuck get unstuck. I like helping people see that they have the power to make something better from their life. I used to be a homebirth midwife, and I find myself drawn to people who are in big life transitions. Or knowing that there is a change needed that maybe is not yet clear. But much happiness comes from learning to truly appreciate what is real in your life today.

My professional mission is to support children and young people to work through distress or challenge at home, at school or socially. As a behavioural scientist, applying evidence-based, compassion-focused practices is central to my work. My experiences as a visually impaired child, adult and mother has afforded me unique insights into the value of positive role models, the nurturing of self-esteem and the promotion of psychological resilience skills for children and adolescents.

Suffering from Stress, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, feeling overwhelmed, contact me, I offer sessions to help you manage your well-being. I offer a range of services, from CBT to longer term psychotherapy work, dependant on the clients requirements. I can help you make sense of what happens and has happened in your life by reflecting on experiences of the past and coming to understand how they affect the present, the person you are today. Therapy allows a client to talk about personal problems and feelings in a confidential, trustworthy, and safe environment. Contact me today to make an appointment.

Passionate about supporting children and their families through difficult times. I am here to support your child on their healing journey, integrating the past and moving forward into growth and self-discovery. Over eleven years’ experience working with children both here in Ireland and overseas, including experience providing play therapy for children with emotional, behavioural and mental health concerns, as well as neuro-diverse diagnoses and medical trauma.

I have provided psychotherapy to clients for a variety of challenges including trauma, depression, anxiety, and family dynamics. I work with those struggling to overcome a situation, past or present, that is causing them to feel stagnate or disillusioned. I help people make new choices in their thinking and behaviour and better choices to improve resilience and health. Together, we explore ways that will help gain insight that leads to making adjustments for living more authentically and having healthier relationships.

I approach my work with the belief that with compassionate care and acceptance, no matter how challenging our early lives have been, we all have a capacity for transformation and the potential to live a more enriched and fulfilling life. I believe that helping people to recognise and believe in their worth enables them to be more resilient in the face of challenges and difficult emotional experiences and to be able to make self-supportive and affirming choices.
