I am a qualified psychotherapist and completed my training with IICP college in Tallaght. This marked a significant shift in my career, having spent many years working in product transfer, as an analytical chemist in the pharmaceutical industry. The methodical aspect of this work has benefitted my practice as a therapist, as I always pay close attention to detail and take note of the unremarkable. My journey into therapy so far has been aided by this analytical curiosity about myself and others and my personal experience in the client’s chair.

Sandra strives to create a therapeutic environment grounded in empathy while clients embark on their journey of self-exploration and personal growth. Her approach to psychotherapy is rooted in the integration of person-centred and psychoanalytic approaches. She is mindful that each client is unique and tailors her therapeutic approach accordingly by incorporating, for example, CBT, Schema therapy and somatic techniques. So often with symptoms of anxiety and depression, vagus nerve dysregulation is an unseen enemy and Sandra uses the principles of polyvagal theory to help clients become more grounded and centred in the body.

Something feels off, and you can't quite put your finger on why.

I'm Luigsech (Lee-Shock), a psychotherapist based in Dublin 2 and Dublin 7. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, attachment and relationship issues, neurodivergence, low self-esteem, and periods of overwhelm, uncertainty, or change.

Psychotherapy for reflective adults navigating stress, transitions, and questions of meaning... Life can sometimes feel demanding or unsettled, even when things appear to be functioning well on the outside. You may be managing work, responsibilities, and relationships while feeling tense, depleted, disconnected, or quietly out of balance. You might be carrying past experiences and patterns that are difficult to make sense of on your own. You may have a sense that something needs attention, even if it is hard to name. Therapy can offer a steady space to slow down and listen more closely to what is happening beneath the surface.

You might be feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed, and not fully sure why. You may notice your mind constantly turning things over or a sense that you are not quite where you want to be in yourself. Maybe somewhere along the way, you’ve started to feel like you’re not quite enough. Often, the people I work with have spent a long time pushing their own needs aside or holding themselves to very high standards, which can lead to anxiety, overwhelm or low mood. Therapy offers a space to begin making sense of this, to develop a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself and to feel less stuck in the same patterns.
