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.

I offer therapy sessions in-person in Dublin 07/ I'm also available online during most days
With compassionate, confidential, neuroaffirming care, hope is possible. Shame and anxiety often feel correction is needed, yet often gentle exploration and reconnecting to the authentic self offer healing. So, if you’re feeling off, being hard on yourself, or facing a difficult time, we can understand where these feelings and thoughts arose from and what may help you. Therapy is a safe space that offers you the chance for self-acceptance, and even self-care. Clients often note that I’m simultaneously the least judgmental and caring therapists, and we will take culture and context into consideration, I’m from the States/Finland

Counselling sessions are available in-person on Fridays in the private clinic, or online via video conference.
Therapy must feel safe before it can be productive. To this end, I initially attempt to provide a sense of ease in counseling sessions. From there the conversation tends to reveal what you might like to get out of therapy- these goals can be anything at all: from wishing to feel less anxious, sad, irritable or troubled, to addressing relationship difficulties at home or at work, to trying to better understand a feeling of being unfulfilled, or to think or feel differently about the past. In many cases, the goal is to just to have a safe place to discuss anything at all in a confidential, non-judgemental setting.

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.

My work is collaborative and flexible, tailored to your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, suitable for both in-person and online settings.
Are you exhausted from holding it together on the outside while your mind spirals with worst-case scenarios, replaying conversations, questioning yourself, and keeping you awake at night? Maybe relationships feel confusing or overwhelming, or you’re carrying anger, grief, or loneliness you don’t know what to do with anymore. If any of this feels familiar, you don’t have to face it alone. I’m Rebecca, a fully qualified psychotherapist registered with the IACP. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in painful patterns, including family estrangement, no-contact dynamics, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

There is no path from Point A to Point B that does not traverse the unknown Real transformation occurs when patient and therapist can enter and embrace that unknown Perhaps it is like ancient sailors setting out to sea in search of a new and distant land—but uncertain how far they might have to travel before they once again set foot on solid earth, or what they might find when they get there" There is no substitute for meeting face to face though.
I listen to your memories dreams and fantasies. In this work your relationship with me is really important and is both close and boundaried. The therapist does not talk about themselves. Only with you. There are no goals or tasks. There is freedom. This can sometimes feel uncomfortable. It is also exciting as we work towards changing things.
