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.

I specialise in maternal mental health and supporting mothers. Many of the mothers I work with feel overwhelmed, anxious, lonely, or unsure of who they are since becoming a parent. They’re not necessarily “depressed,” but they know something feels off. They want to understand themselves again, ease the pressure they’re under, and find language for an experience that has left them stretched, tender, and changed.

I work with adults who are neurodivergent and navigating anxiety, burnout, identity questions, and the emotional weight of constant masking.
I help adults who are neurodivergent (diagnosed or self-identified) with anxiety, burnout, masking fatigue, and self-doubt. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or disconnected. I know how hard it is masking and trying to fit into systems that don’t work. I can help you be yourself and deal with the feelings of overwhelm.

My wish for each client is that they be well. Every client comes to therapy with different needs. With strong foundations in somatic, emotional and cognitive therapies, I also offer the swifter interventions of Hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). Some clients want a quick fix, some want to explore and experience personal development. Some clients are top down, and others are bottom up. Some clients just need to talk, some don’t want to talk at all. Recognising these needs in how I work with each individual client is essential.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it's important to understand a therapist's treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It's also important to consider a therapist's training when seeking care. Therapists in Ireland hold various credentials depending on their training. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are often registered with the Irish Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (IACP) and/or the Irish Council for Psychotherapy (ICP) and their qualifications and practice are overseen by these professional organisations. Many Psychologists are registered with the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI), signifying that they are currently working toward or have completed postgraduate training and supervised practice, and can use the titles of Chartered Psychologist (C.Psychol. PsSI) or Graduate Member (M.Ps.S.I). All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
