Female Counselling in Dublin 12, Dublin
As a Humanistic Integrative I see the therapeutic relationship as a safe and containing space where clients can explore and be curious about themselves. For me the therapeutic alliance is a transformative relationship. Offering an open and trusting space where clients can talk freely. Meeting the client where they are at, providing a strong foundation to support the client in their journey exploring themselves, developing self-compassion and understanding, and resolving inner conflict in a way to create a more combined whole.

Sometimes in life we reach a point where we need some support in navigating our path. Life can be overwhelming. Anxiety, depression, loss of important relationships, grief, childhood traumas to name a few, can all impact our way of being and we may struggle. Talking about your thoughts and feelings sets you free and step by step, you learn to untangle the confusion. Therapy can be a frightening step to take but I believe the bravest and one that can potentially change your life. I understand that it can be difficult to talk about your story. I aim to hold a space where you feel safe, non judged and heard.

Coming to therapy is the first step to doing something about changing an aspect of your life that is causing you distress, or overwhelming you to such a degree that it is holding you back or keeping you stuck. Do not feel you have to suffer in silence. Your problems could be the way you interpret things or the lens through which you view things. Sometimes our thinking patterns need to be challenged, and we can find alternative and more useful ways of seeing things, leading to a more fulfilling life for ourselves. Therapy is about growth in our thinking , this leading to more positive thinking, leading to a better quality life.

Female Counsellors
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.
