My aim is to offer you a space where you feel heard, accepted and never judged. A space where you can simply be “you”.
My main approach is Person-Centered, incorporating touches of CBT, existential therapy and compassion-focused therapy. I believe that you already have within you the resources and answers you need. Sometimes they become hidden by life experiences, and together we can gently uncover them. Through the sessions, and with my support, you will gain an understanding of what is happening in your life and find your own solution to your difficulties.
I am a firm believer that listening, truly listening is the key.

Many of the people I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, fearful, stuck, or like they’ve lost a sense of who they are. Maybe things that used to feel manageable now feel like too much. Maybe you're finding it harder to get through the day, to connect with others, or even with yourself. You might not be able to pinpoint exactly what's changed, but you know something just feels off. If you're here, you’ve already taken a courageous first step...even if it doesn’t feel like it yet. Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you're used to coping alone or fear that asking for support means something is “wrong” with you.

Hello! My name is Laura, and I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) integrative psychotherapist who believes that true healing begins when we stop treating just the surface and start looking at the roots.
While present-day distress is usually what brings people to therapy, my approach works from a deep and transformational perspective. Rather than just offering temporary relief, we go beneath the surface together to look closely at your symptoms, identify recurring patterns, name underlying wounds, and create a long-term impact on how you relate to yourself and others.

Some people need help with their relationship dynamics whether it’s with their families and friends, romantic, or sexual. There may be patterns of being with people that just aren’t working anymore and feel like they need to change.
Other people might be struggling with identity. This may be due to moving to Ireland from a different culture and trying to adjust to the way things are in Ireland. For others the feeling of not fitting in may be due to other issues such as gender, sexual orientation or ability.
Life situations and events can cause us to feel depressed, anxious, scared and alone. It can be hard knowing how to cope.

Sometimes, even when things seem to be working on the outside, there is a constant sense of tiredness, a mind that doesn’t switch off, or a feeling of being on edge. Thoughts can feel repetitive, emotions overwhelming, or there may be a sense that something isn’t quite right, even without a clear reason. Over time, this can start to affect your mood, relationships, and overall sense of wellbeing.

Difficulties and distress can arise in anyone’s life at any time. Even with the support of family and friends, it may still be difficult to cope and function effectively. Sometimes, it may be easier to talk about personal, family or relationship issues with an independent person. Even without being in crisis, or on the verge of one, underlying feelings of dissatisfaction with life in general may still be experienced. This may also involve profiling and assessment to assist the therapeutic care plan. The Phoenix Centre can help you with these issues in a friendly, professional and confidential environment. www.phoenixcentre.ie

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.

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.
