Counselling in Terenure, Dublin

I am a pre-accredited member of IACP and have been practising as an Integrative Psychotherapist since 2007, however I took a career break in 2011 to have my three children. In 2020 I returned to college completing a Degree in C&P and started counselling clients again.I have worked in Human Resources for the past 20 years which has given be lots of experience dealing with people , coaching, building relationships, mediating and many other skills. Being a working mother of three I understand the challenges of balancing children,home, work and having time for myself.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you struggle with over thinking or rumination? Do you feel lonely or isolated from others? Are you carrying regrets from past experiences? You may find it helpful to unburden yourself and talk, in a safe and caring environment. I offer an open and supportive space where we can identify and explore your issues together. I work using an integrative style - which means a tailored approach for each client – recognising that we are all different and have varying needs from therapy. I believe the therapeutic relationship is key and endeavour to build a connection from which we can work together.

Couples counselling is my specialist area. This ranges from marriage counselling, to same sex relationship therapy. I use different processes to explore the triggers & find new ways to manage couple conflict. Each relationship is unique & needs nurturing, whether your intention is to re-build the relationship or to have a safe space before moving on.

I am a fully qualified Counsellor & Psychotherapist who holds a BSc Hons Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a fully accredited member of IACP, working in accordance with the code of ethics and practice of the IACP. I attend regular clinical supervision.

As a therapist, Suzanne works with heart and creativity, meeting the client where they are at. With acceptance and curiosity, Suzanne provides a safe, supportive and appropriately challenging space for her clients to discover who and how they are in the world. Centered around the ‘here and now’, gestalt psychotherapy can support the individual to identify and get to know the ‘roadblocks’ that they experience in life. From this place of awareness, individuals can learn to tap into their innate creativity and potential, naturally moving towards growth and healing.

I am passionate about creating a safe space for the voice of the individual to be heard without fear of judgement. I have a particular interest in helping people find their own answers to the challenges in their lives, such as anxiety, burnout, or a general dissatisfaction with life without any obvious reason why, to find a way of being that better meets their needs.

Have you reached a turning point, do you feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster right now? A variety of factors lead people to encounter extremely difficult periods in their lives, leaving them with overwhelming feelings of distress. Talking to a professional can help you to make sense of what is happening for you. As an Integrative Clinical Psychotherapist, I can explore these feelings with you in a sensitive and non-judgmental space. I have undertaken extensive research into self-criticism and the inner critic. I have a passion for developing and nurturing resilience to build self-esteem and confidence.

Do you ever worry that you're not good enough in some way? Or maybe say yes to avoid confrontation? Maybe you are experiencing low mood or feeling anxious? Well if any of this sounds familiar, get in touch, because I work with people that are fed up of feeling this way and want to change their negative opinion of themselves. I see myself as a warm and open-minded person who understands that we all go through challenging periods in life when things feel overwhelming. Sometimes life can be hard; complicated, confusing and painful. I am here to listen and support you.

I have trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, dialectical CBT, attachment based (mentalisation) therapy, systemic family therapy, trauma-focussed therapy and emotional-focussed couples therapy. I work with young people, individual adults and with couples. My focus is on offering the most appropriate therapy to the client.

Carving out space for ourselves can be daunting - especially when life feels overwhelming. Therapy is a place where you can be heard, be quiet, be unsure, upset, confused, connected - whatever you need to be in that moment - offering relief, understanding and growth. I'm a pre-accredited psychotherapist who works with clients collaboratively to explore feelings of stress, anxiety, apathy, frustration and distress. I have broad experience including trauma, bereavement, work issues, relationship & fertility issues, and use an approach attuned to the needs of each client. Face-to-face, online and walk-&-talk sessions offered.

In my practice I work with a broad range of clients including young people (16-25), neurodiverse, LGBTQ+ and GSRD identifying clients. I believe that each and every one of my clients has a unique experience and so each therapy begins and ends differently. I often help clients to address issues around sexuality and gender as well as working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

You promised you would not watch online porn or live sex cams again. You feel guilt and shame because you want to stop but cant. You visited a sex worker during lockdown and now you are worried you might have put the health of your family at risk. You plan to spend a short time on dating apps and find yourself spending hours on them, unable to put them down, feeling desperate and hopeless. You have an instant attraction when you meet a particular type of person, believing they are the one. You are in recovery for alcohol / drug addiction, but your compulsive sexual acting out behaviours have increased and you feel guilt and shame.

Integrative and humanistic psychotherapist with a degree in psychology, a higher diploma in psychotherapy and a masters in psychotherapy. Integrative means I draw on a number of different techniques and theories, tailored to the clients needs.

When something in your life is not how you'd like it to be, or when you're looking for help and support for something that you're going through; perhaps a life event, a particular concern or maybe problems with relationships, at home, in school or at work. Maybe you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, frustration, fear, sadness or other emotions. Stress can be a part of this. Counselling can help you to better understand what might be going on for you, and to find ways to effectively manage feelings, thoughts or worries. My experience is that clients come to counselling because they want something in their life to be different.

As a fully Accredited member of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP), I provide both short term and long term counselling in a confidential and safe environment. I practice in an integrative way, combining various theoretical approaches that aid in my ability to support you in whatever problems you may bring to therapy such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, self-esteem issues, anger issues and relationship problems.
