Counselling in D01

I am an experienced and professionally qualified and accredited psychotherapist. I work from an integrative approach which means I draw on different therapeutic models, including psychodynamic, person-centred, relational and behavioural. I offer a safe, confidential, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore the issues you are facing.

Counselling is a space where a person is encouraged to meet their own truth and relate this truth to another person within the human condition. A person is able to meet their true or real self in the presence of empathy, non-judgement and unconditional positive regard. I strive to provide these conditions to foster healing and promote well-being in all my clients in the therapeutic space I offer. A person who wants change in one or more aspects of their lives with a desire to reach their full potential is an individual who is on the road to personal and emotional growth and development.

I provide an opportunity for people to share how they are feeling within a safe, empathic, and non-judgemental environment. I use my skills, education, and training, together with my life experience to support clients within my practice. I believe in the inherent healing and growth capacity of every client while at the same time embracing the notions of self-determination and individuality. I understand that we are all unique and clients are helped by different processes at different times. As therapy progresses, I often find that presenting issues change as the relationship unfolds, and this too can be part of the process.

“One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful”. My work is psychoanalytically oriented and is based on the belief that you already have the solution. So, let’s find it! The practice of psychoanalytic psychotherapy recognises that often, the language (verbal and non-verbal) of that solution only needs to be heard in order to be consciously realised and put into action. I will help you identify and define this language.

Thomas is committed to helping individuals better understand themselves and reach their potential with the hope that a better understanding of who we are as a person can provide a more fulfilling and peaceful life. He provides insights and techniques for coping with the many anxieties in life such as social situations, relationships, career as well as struggles with self esteem, depression and finding meaning in life. Thomas believes that taking on the challenge of discovering who we truly are is the best way to find the meaning and motivation for a full life.

Do you struggle with social anxiety? Fear of crowds or busy places such as city centres or going on the bus? Do you notice negative thought patterns and behaviours leading to avoidance or panic attacks?

I welcome all clients regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Clients who have experienced traumatic episodes in their life. Clients who have felt they have always been on their own. They may have always felt that they have had no one to protect them, never felt loved or nurtured. Clients who feel they are totally disconnected with who they are. Such clients may feel they are totally lost and have no direction in their life. I welcome all such clients to my practice. Together we will find the reconnection to Self and in doing so find a purpose and goal in life.

I believe that everyone has all the answers to their life struggles but sometimes the answers can be difficult to reach. They might be buried under the day to day stresses or maybe an older experience that makes it difficult for us to employ the necessary tools. In the latter situation, we could find that an impartial, non-judgmental professional can help and support. I have experience in working with a diverse range of clients presenting with depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, addiction, codependency, attachment and relationship issues, low self-esteem, grief and many others.

My approach to treatment is very much guided by the person who walks through the door. I do not believe there is a one-size-fits-all form of therapy and the direction the treatment will take will be informed by the relationship between therapist and client. I use an integrative approach that involves humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive therapy; whatever I feel best suits the individual client’s needs. While in session, I try to create a safe and non-judgemental space where my clients can explore what is going on for them in the moment. We then work together to make the changes they wish to see in their lives.

www.aspacetobetherapy.ie - I founded A Space To Be to provide clients with a safe and confidential space to be themselves and to further discover themselves. Working from a humanistic and person centred ethos means I believe that you, the client, hold the tools within to heal and grow. Experiencing early adversity and traumatic life events can cloud perception, create defences and disrupt the relationship held with one's self. Issues such as low self esteem, anxiety and depression can arise. I work in a collaborative and empowering yet gentle way to accompany you on your journey of reconnection and healing.

My name is Paul O Beirne and my aim as a therapist is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to enable you to be curious, explore, and develop awareness that can lead to positive personal growth. The purpose of therapy is to welcome in all experiences, feelings and aspects of you that may not have a voice in everyday life and journey compassionately with them together. You do you; because everyone else is taken.

As a therapist, I am trained to listen to you in a particular way that is different to how you might be used to being listened to. When I sit or walk with you, I am paying attention to the different ways that you express yourself with words, tone, movement, and metaphor to see if we can get a sense together of what might be underlying what is troubling you or keeping you stuck. Our work together is a space in which you can be as you are, speak as you need to, play with ideas and dreams, and tune into your body as a rich source of information, but importantly, a place in which you can do this at your own pace.

My task is to help you to achieve better mental health through a therapeutic relationship based on empathy and understanding, with no judgement and no pressure. Each life story is unique and each psychological journey can be profound in meaning and worth. I am here to listen, to provide a safe and welcoming space, and to accompany you on that journey. Using a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques and skills, I will try to support you with each step that you take and each new insight you discover.
