Self-Harming Counselling in Cork

I am a Counselling Psychologist with over 18 years of experience (both in the USA and in Ireland), providing psychological help and treatment to adults with mental health issues. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Pure Psychology from University College Dublin, and I received my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counselling from Seattle University in Washington State USA. I believe that people who seek out therapy are self-striving individuals motivated to grow and develop authentically. As a practicing Counselling Psychologist, I recognize the importance of creating and maintaining a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients.

Hello! I'm an experienced humanistic integrative therapist based in Cork City Centre. My holistic approach places your unique needs at the heart of our work, striving to create a safe, nurturing environment where you feel valued and understood. Navigating life's challenges can often feel overwhelming and isolating. As a compassionate psychotherapist, I provide a secure, non-judgemental space for you to explore and better understand your emotions and experiences whether you're dealing with recent events or lingering effects from the past.

Hello there, I'm Jack, a qualified Humanistic Integrative psychotherapist working to help individuals through their unique experiences. I have been practicing since 2019, and am a registered psychotherapist with the BACP. Having personally navigated my own therapeutic journey, I understand firsthand the impact of childhood trauma on mental health. 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.

In everyone’s life there are times when we need to reset our learned ways or find new ways as the current ones create emotional pain. Oftentimes it helps to look in detail how things are connected with someone that can provide a safe space to do so. We are all capable to find our own ingenious ways to live a fulfilled life. This very personal learning can be supported by a trained counsellor/psychotherapist therapist. I believe strongly that my function as therapist is to provide the space and knowledge for the collaborative work my clients choose to do and that healing will come from within ourselves where we are in pain.

I strongly believe that therapy is your – the client’s - space, at your pace. At the heart of this is the therapeutic relationship, co-created by us and bound by the commitment to safety, non-judgment and confidentiality. For me, therapy is about choice. Each of us and our experience is unique. Our goal will be increasing self-awareness to enable conscious choice-making leading to greater well-being, both within yourself and the World around you.

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.

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 .

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.

Life may mean difficult or traumatic experiences, past or present, that can leave you feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, worried, overwhelmed, hopeless or unable to cope. Counselling can be a great support in these times, helping you make sense of your experiences, your feelings and your relationships.

A space and time to talk. This is your time, for you. Give yourself this opportunity to express yourself freely. Give yourself the attention that you need.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist with 20 years experience. I provide effective, in-depth interventions to adults and adolescents. Over the years I’ve continued to develop and refine how I work to provide the most effective treatments. I specialise in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and psychotherapy across a wide range of psychological issues. I focus on getting to the root of the problem, healing, growth and positive outcomes. I believe that everyone can benefit from RTT and/or a psychotherapy block.

My therapeutic approach helps you to identify any issues, address your needs and plan future goals to help reduce symptoms such as negative thinking, rumination, emotional dysregulation, anxiety and low mood. I work closely with many issues in particular, Borderline Personality Disorder, (BPD), ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, womens issues, negative thinking, OCD and many others. Each individual is different and therefore each approach is planned according to your personal needs.

As a therapist I have attended my own counselling throughout the years and I understand how difficult it is to take those first steps as a client. So well-done in taking the first steps in to therapy. You can expect a warm welcome from me, in a non-judgement, safe space where you will receive empathy and understanding, kindness and compassion. You don’t have to be alone.

Hello, thank you for visiting my counselling profile. I am Sophie, I am working as a Humanistic Integrative counsellor in Cork City Centre.

You may also seek counselling due to a trauma in your adult life.

As a qualified Counsellor Psychotherapist, I believe that discovering the secrets of happiness isn’t just for a fortunate few—it’s a path we all walk. Throughout my personal and professional experiences, I’ve come to realize that no one sets out to be unhappy.Often we adapt to life’s challenges out of necessity, sometimes without even realizing it. But here’s the exciting part: everything we’ve learned, we can also unlearn. This means we have the power to reshape our journey towards peace, joy and fulfilment.I wholeheartedly believe that therapy is a transformative journey open to everyone seeking growth, healing, and self-discovery
