Hello there, I'm Jack, a qualified Humanistic Integrative psychotherapist working to help individuals through their unique experiences.

This personal experience drives my commitment to assist clients in uncovering and addressing the root causes of their challenges, through a holistic and relational approach.

We often seek therapy guided by feelings of stuckness, anxiety, numbness, despair. In these moments, we tend to look out into the world and try to change everything and everyone so we can feel better. This is true for most of us. However, in therapy, with a presence of attuned and non-judgmental therapist, there is a possibility to look inside and focus on ourselves.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist with 20 years experience. I provide effective, in-depth interventions to adults and adolescents.

The process of art therapy involves self-discovery. It's not just about art, it's about exploring your emotions, experiences, and physical sensations and supporting your wellbeing. Nature and art aid in emotional regulation because they allows a person to put their emotions into physical expression that is outside of themselves. It is not about making the finished product but focusing on the creative process. It is during this time that self-expression can be explored. Art serves as a language, when words are difficulty to find. Fully accredited member of IACAT.

I’m an integrative therapist, combining cognitive (DBT, CBT) and analytic approaches, to reduce the symptoms of your problem (e.g. anxiety, depression) but also considers the reasons underlying these challenges, some of which are outside of your awareness.

Nosce Te Ipsum. Therapy begins with a dialogue about what indeed brought the client into the therapeutic setting. Clients’ thoughts, feelings and experiences provide much of the fodder for a therapeutic dialogue. Much of the work in therapy involves making sense of these thoughts and emotions. The therapist educes the client’s stories; clients narrate and share them. This integrative framework provide the lens in which I listen and connect to the narratives and presenting issues of my clients. As the tempo takes its momentum, a gradual progression of humanistic kinship, trust and understanding between my client and I are entrenched.

My background is in sports science and psychology and I also hold a masters in positive behaviour management and postgraduate qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy.

I work with the issue presented but never without assessing the individual as a whole.

Hi, my name is Áine Farrell. I am an art therapist working from my private practice in Cork City. I hold a first-class honours master's degree from MTU. I work with children from the ages of 3 up to the age of 17. I offer individual one-to-one art therapy sessions. Each session lasts for 50 minutes.

The art therapy room is a non-judgmental space where the client is free to express themselves openly within the safety of the therapeutic relationship.

I believe that a person’s individuality and uniqueness should be non-judgmentally embraced and when given the right tools and support, anyone can have the opportunity to thrive in their life. I work with individuals who are looking for counselling during a time in their lives that they feel they want or need support. I understand that we all experience unique events throughout our lives, therefore I adapt my approach to best suit the needs of the individual sitting in front of me.

My aim is to provide a compassonate space for clients where they feel listened to and understood in a real and deep way. "Behind each face there is a unique world that no one ese can see. This is the mystery of individuality. The shape of each soul is different. No one else feels your life the way you do. No one else sees or hears the world as your do" This is a quote I love and work from, written by the author and poet John O' Donoghue .
