Counselling in D14
With over 14 years of experience, I have helped many people on their unique healing journey. Sometimes we need a place to explore the difficulties that arise in life; whether they are behaviours, feelings, or emotions. At times you need to be listened to confidentially and without judgement. Our mental health can have such a significant impact on the quality of our lives. These challenges come in many forms, including trauma, phobias, bereavement, anxiety, and behavioural issues. Often, it is hard to tell exactly what is wrong, only a sense that things are not right. The first brave step to take is to share that difficulty.

Do you often feel a bit stuck and not in control? Life can be tough, and taking the time to become aware and understand our patterns and struggles to cope can help restore peace of mind and connection to ourselves and others. I offer a friendly and welcoming therapeutic space, where together we can use approaches like CBT, Somatic work, and Trauma-Informed Therapy, to fit what works best for you as you navigate your problems. As an Internal Family Systems therapist, I can help you understand and heal different “parts” of yourself—like that anxious part or critical voice — and support you in reconnecting with your true self.

Do you feel overwhelmed, lost or stuck? Is there a sense that life could be better, that you are floundering instead of flourishing? Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down and reflect on your life space; a chance to explore and gain insight into unhelpful patterns of belief and behaviour which can cause distress and influence how you feel about yourself and the world. I am passionate about instilling hope by fostering greater connection and meaning in life which you may have lost sight of. Therapy has the potential to facilitate small yet meaningful changes, creating a powerful ripple effect on your mental health and wellbeing.

People can experience difficulties or challenges at any point in their lives, such as anxiety, low mood and trauma. At other times, life events like bereavement, the ending of a relationship or unexpected illness can make people feel upset, distressed and confused. The help and support of a clinical psychologist can help ease these painful feelings and work towards adjustment and an improved sense of well-being. If the source of the difficulties are not obvious at first, a psychological assessment can also be helpful.

It is hard to describe what psychotherapy is really like. One of us, Jonathan Shedler describes it well.
"We are changing life patterns. There is no path from Point A to Point B that does not traverse the unknown
Real transformation occurs when patient and therapist can enter and embrace that unknown
Perhaps it is like ancient sailors setting out to sea in search of a new and distant land—but uncertain how far they might have to travel before they once again set foot on solid earth, or what they might find when they get there"
There is no substitute for meeting face to face though. And proceeding or not from there.

I work with adults who may be going through a difficult time in their lives. Often people come to therapy because they feel overwhelmed or stuck and want to understand themselves and their experiences better.
People reach out when something in life feels difficult to manage alone. There may be a specific event or loss that has brought them to therapy, and sometimes it is simply a sense that things are not quite right and a wish to understand why. They are often looking for a space where they can speak openly and he heard free of judgement.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or carrying experiences that feel too heavy to hold alone. I work with people facing trauma, addiction, domestic abuse, bereavement, anger, relationship difficulties, sexual abuse, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Often, my clients want more than coping — they want relief, clarity and a way back to themselves. Together, we can create a space where you can feel heard, understood and supported to move toward a stronger, freer version of you.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are accredited members of the main professional associations, mainly the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and the Irish Council for Psychotherapy (ICP). Most Psychologists are accredited members of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement in Ireland, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Ireland. Psychologists have earned a doctoral degree in psychology and many are accredited members of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI). Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a doctoral degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the IACP or ICP, they must complete a minimum of an NFQ Level 7 programme with 100 hours of clinical experience and a minimum of 450 hours of post-training clinical experience under clinical supervision.
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.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in Ireland could cost between €50 – €90 when seeing a counsellor and €75 - €120 or more when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The National Counselling Service (NCS) is a government-funded service that provides short to medium term counselling and psychotherapy for free to individuals who have experienced trauma or abuse. The service can be accessed by GP referral or self-referral.

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.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online 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 eircode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the IACP, the ICP, or PSI are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others or when a child is in danger, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
