Counselling in Dublin 16, Dublin

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” Carl Rogers. The world we live in is constantly challenging, particularly if we are already feeling stressed or anxious. This stress can lead to lasting feelings of sadness, anxiety or depression. But this does not have to be the case. We all have within us the ability to live a more fulfilled and happier life. A good therapist helps realise this potential by facilitating self-discovery and acceptance and using this for emotional growth.

As an experienced Humanistic and Integrative psychotherapist, I offer a warm, compassionate, safe and non-judgemental space where clients can explore their feelings, learn to understand themselves and find healing and self-acceptance. As a therapist it is not my role to change clients but to create with them a supportive environment through which change can come about.

I offer clients experiencing Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Low Self-Esteem, and Depression a safe non-judgmental and heart-centred space. I help them to unpack at their own pace that which is causing them unease. Sessions which are 1 hour long are held weekly or fortnightly depending on your individual needs and desires. My work aims to put your needs at the heart of the session while I support you and help you to reclaim that part of you that could be living a life that is more fulfilling and indeed more purposeful.

Jenny is a humanistic and person-centred Psychotherapist with an emphasis on the person’s capacity for change. Jenny has worked within the health care sector for over 13 years.

My passion is encouraging & empowering women: Helping women to recognise their own strengths and heal the trauma that has been holding them back. Gentle self-exploration and prioritising the relationship with self are key aspects of my way of working. I strive to provide a professional, holistic relationship that is free from shame and judgement. Visit my website for more information.

I offer support with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, stress management, maternal mental health, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties and navigating life changes. I have a particular interest in supporting new mothers in this time of huge transition, and I offer "Walk, Talk and Coffee" sessions specifically for new and new-again mums - babies welcome too! My therapeutic approach is humanistic and integrative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic (exploring childhood issues), and CBT theories, along with mindfulness techniques. Sessions are client-led and tailored to my client's needs and goals.

There are times when our capacity to feel better, recover or move on with things can feel too difficult to do on our own. It can help to talk to someone outside of your family, friends and familiar relationships to begin to understand how you are feeling. Therapy is a process that can help you explore issues relating to challenging or traumatic life experiences. I can support you in re-discovering a sense of how you can relate to yourself and others in a more resourceful and empowering way. Giving yourself permission to accept support for where you are at is often the hardest thing to do and the most courageous.

I am a Wellness Mentor. Every difficulty can be managed through clarity. I take out the complexity and quickly restore balance.

Life and relating to others can at times feel very hard. Please do contact me if any or a combination of the following reflect your experience as my support seems to be most effective in these areas: Feeling alone or isolated; living with a sense of fear, dread or being overwhelmed; trying to cope with events that are or have been ‘traumatic’; lacking confidence in your own abilities and judgement; or having a sense of deep pain. I believe and know that despite the pain and distress these can cause, there is also the possibility for healing, growth, making changes and (re)finding a sense of self, purpose and joy in life again.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to understand your own story. You have a right to have a meaningful life that makes you feel happy every day. It’s hard to put yourself first sometimes. So much of your time is taken up with worry and sadness it can be hard to focus on anything but just existing. Your here now which means you can choose you this time, to share and understand your story and in time, start living again and feeling happier.

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.
