Almost everyone faces difficulties and challenges at some point in their life. Sometimes these can be overwhelming and we may feel helpless or lost in managing or coping, perhaps there is a feeling of hopelessness or worthlessness. Counselling can be a great support during times of distress or change and I can help you work through your issues which are causing distress. My goal is to help you achieve your own personal goals. Counselling is a process where the counsellor and client have a therapeutic and confidential relationship and I offers a safe environment where you will be listened to, respected and supported.

Something brings you here. And somewhere inside, you already know, things aren't quite right. When did you last feel truly like yourself? Many people come to me carrying that question quietly, for a long time. Lost somewhere between relationships, expectations, and the habit of always putting others first. When that weight becomes too heavy to carry alone, it might be time to look deeper. I'm Maria Carolina, a psychotherapist and former university lecturer with 20+ years of experience. Together, we explore patterns and desires shaping your choices, not just what you feel, but why. So you can hear your voice, and live by it.

My name is Alison, and I currently practice as an Accredited Counsellor both in person in Limerick and Mitchelstown and via an online platform I am an integrative therapist, blending various therapeutic approaches to best suit my clients' needs. I have a special interest in family systems, recognizing the importance of understanding relational dynamics in the healing process. I incorporate mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) techniques as appropriate, helping clients manage to explore how thoughts can affect feelings and behaviours, which also I find can be particularly beneficial when working with neuro divergence issues.

Prior to pursuing a career in mental health, I studied and worked as an artist. I had always felt that words and verbal communication could not fully express my thoughts or feelings to the people around me through traditional verbal conversation. This inspired me to find a way that I could communicate to the world what I needed to express. My medium is art, but many have not been exposed to expression in this way. I endeavour to support others through their own expressions in a therapeutic and supportive space - Listening to and supporting people through expression no matter their background or demographic.

You might be someone who feels things deeply but rarely gives yourself the same kindness you offer others-someone who overthinks, struggles to set boundaries, or feels weighed down by anxiety others don't always see.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
