Psychoanalytic Counselling in County Kerry
Seeking help during a challenging time can be difficult. Be confident that it is your inner strength that has guided you to reach out and seek support. In my experience, I have come to see that no issue is too big or too small; the difficulty comes in trying to overcome it alone. Allow me to provide a safe, confidential, supportive, non-judgemental space for you to talk about and explore the issues which you may be finding challenging or painful.

I offer integrative or holistic therapy. I blend elements from different approaches and tailor treatment according to individual needs. That includes: Gestalt therapy - (the importance of being aware of the here and now), Psychodynamic therapy - (changing problematic behaviours, feelings, and thoughts), Cognitive therapy - (changing our thoughts, to change how we feel and what we do) and Existential therapy - (exploring free will, self-determination and the search for meaning).

By looking at the emotional needs and wants I help clients to really understand the complexity of what is underneath the emotions they experience. We can present with a symptom like emotion such as fear, anger or people pleasing. However, when we fully understand where this comes from we become more aware, and with awareness, we then have the ability to make choices on how we want to proceed.

Niamh is a fully accredited psychoanalytic psychotherapist, with an MSc and SMT in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.
Are you feeling stuck, or noticing the same patterns repeating? You may already understand a lot about yourself, yet something does not change. Therapy offers a space to explore what keeps these experiences returning, and how they shape your relationships, responses, and how you relate to yourself and others. Many people come with anxiety, relationship difficulties, or questions around identity and sexuality. Over time, something more singular may emerge, a concern or question unique to you, that begins to take shape and find expression in how you relate to yourself and others.

Clients come to counselling when their normal coping mechanisms are no longer working for them and they are feeling overwhelmed, confused and afraid. It may be due to anxiety in their life, stress in work or relationships, low self esteem or depression. They come looking for clarity, a sense of understanding that they are not alone in what they are feeling and perhaps for practical techniques to manage the conflicting emotions. They also want to be really listened to and not to be judged as they tell their story.

I work with adults and young adults who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or burnout, many of whom are neurodivergent ( including ADHD, autism, and AuDHD), as well as neurotypical clients navigating anxiety, identity, or life transitions.
My approach is neurodivergent- affirming and collaborative. I don't see your brain as something to "fix". Instead, I focus on understanding how your nervous system works, reducing shame, creating supports that fit you. Masking, sensory overwhelm, executive functioning challenges, and burnout are taken seriously here. Sessions are flexible and paced to your needs, show up exactly as you are.

My clients are often high-functioning professionals whose lives look successful on the outside but feel disconnected in their intimate relationships. They may struggle with low desire, performance anxiety, or difficulty expressing their needs and boundaries. Some feel lonely despite being partnered, or held back by shame, perfectionism, or cultural messages about sex. They want to understand themselves more deeply, feel more confident in intimacy, and build relationships that feel emotionally and physically fulfilling.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
