Are you feeling anxious, confused, stressed, depressed, lost, not able to cope with what is happening to you or has your world been turned upside down? Perhaps you have concerns about family or intimate relationships; care responsibilities; new life situations; bereavement/loss; college; work issues; or low levels of confidence and self-esteem. Life feels overwhelming and you’re not sure about the way forward. Or perhaps you just have a vague sense that something isn’t right? That your problems aren’t ‘big enough’ for counselling.

My own experience has demonstrated to me the immense healing that can take place in one being able to fully express themselves without fear of judgment. It is my role as a psychotherapist to provide an environment of empathy, safety and support, so that emotional and mental growth will occur naturally. My approach to psychotherapy is to facilitate growth through the skill of active and mindful listening and non directive guidance.

Whether it is dealing with past hurts, dealing with current issues or just wanting to improve your character, I am here to help. People often think counselling is for people who have experienced something traumatic in their lives that they need to process. Whilst this is true, the aim of my counselling is to offer the space to express ourselves and find out more about our potential. That might be in processing a specific event/events or it might be in discovering more about the direction life's journey is taking each of us.

Hello, I am Dr. Bláithín Mac Mahon. I am a psychologist, with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology, and founder of Thrive Psychology- an online therapy practice offering Zoom appointments. While I work with all adults of all ages and experiences, my speciality has been working with younger adults from late teens into mid 30's, addressing the concerns that often arise during these life stages. I find people often come to me stating they just want to talk things out with someone, feeling perhaps stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated, down, and/or a general sense of feeling stuck.

There are many reasons why people may seek out a psychotherapist - specific mental health issues, such as depression or anxiety, or addressing more general feelings of unhappiness, dissatisfaction, or lack of purpose. Some may be looking to improve their relationships, to cope with major life changes or transitions, or to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences. Self-help can be successful for some, whilst for others the change is short-lived or their desired outcomes still feel unreachable. This is where therapy can help.

We all have the capacity to change and grow. Counselling & Psychotherapy can guide you on that path. Whatever your problem, big or small, I believe that we are all worthy of support. Whether that be for parenting troubles, relationship issues, feelings of depression or despair, trauma or anything that feels important to you. My goal is to demystify and normalise psychotherapy so that people feel worthy and deserving of the kind of support that can positively impact every aspect of their life, whatever their journey.

Do you notice patterns of behaviours that you are unsatisfied with? Are you having difficulty coping with your current life? I provide a non-judgmental, supportive environment where clients can feel safe in sharing their thoughts and feelings. I have created a space where clients can explore their goals and discuss the actions they will take to live their lives to the best of their ability. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are dedicated to achieving. I believe that there is no universal approach to therapy.

Are you a professional woman in her 30s? Are you very busy and would like to do therapy in your time and in the comfort of your own home or office. Typically women come to me because they are feeling exhausted or overwhelmed. They are working very hard, life is super busy and they are unsure of what they want from life. They know there is more to life but can't figure it out, they often feel stuck. They procrastinate and constantly worry finding it hard to make a decision. Life has not turned out how they may have imagined and managing how they are feeling can be difficult.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
