In Person Counselling in Ballinteer

Seeking help is courageous. I hope to support and guide you in your growth and development, to help identify your difficulties, strengths, needs and boundaries. Change is a process, and I may be able to assist you to realise your worth and value, and support you to make choices that will help you in whatever challenges you are facing, or difficulties you have experienced.

Coming to therapy is the first step to doing something about changing an aspect of your life that is causing you distress, or overwhelming you to such a degree that it is holding you back or keeping you stuck. Do not feel you have to suffer in silence. Your problems could be the way you interpret things or the lens through which you view things. Sometimes our thinking patterns need to be challenged, and we can find alternative and more useful ways of seeing things, leading to a more fulfilling life for ourselves. Therapy is about growth in our thinking , this leading to more positive thinking, leading to a better quality life.

Psychotherapy can be viewed as a corrective emotional experience, in which the client is facilitated to unlock their innate wisdom and ability to heal themselves through the medium of the therapeutic relationship. The Humanistic/Integrative approach I use gains strength from theory, research, and feedback from ongoing practice. With theory as a soft focus, we'll explore thoughts and emotions with a sense of curiosity, creativity, and freedom within the therapeutic relationship. This relational way of practicing psychotherapy provides the client with a safe space in order to develop and change.

Dr. Mou Sultana's practice is informed with evidence based techniques and integrative methods. Treatment plans are designed employing a collaborative approach with clients based on their individual needs to suit their individual goals at the pace of the client.

I know how difficult it is to find the right therapist for you. There are too many options and choosing what you think will work for you can be overwhelming and disheartening. Often we must try many different professionals before we find what works for us. ​ I am an accredited humanistic and integrative psychotherapist who holds a Masters degree in humanistic and integrative psychotherapy. My work is guided and informed by the ethical guidelines of IAHIP. The relationship you build with your therapist is the single most important factor that leads to positive outcomes.

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.

People present for counselling for various reasons, including anxiety, depression, intimacy issues, alcohol/drug-related issues, etc. The uncertainty around attending counselling for the first time is understandably frightening for some

I strive to provide a safe, non-judgemental therapeutic space within which each individual can explore issues and reflect on life experiences in order to achieve greater understanding and acceptance of self and others.

I initially attempt to provide a sense of ease in counseling sessions because before therapy can be productive it must, firstly, feel safe. From there, goals that the client might like to achieve naturally emerge in the conversation. These goals can be anything at all: from wishing to feel less anxious, sad, irritable or troubled, to addressing relationship difficulties at home or at work, to trying to better understand a feeling of being unfulfilled, thinking or feeling differently about our pasts or, in many cases, just to have a safe place to discuss anything at all in a confidential, non-judgemental setting.

Throughout life, many people encounter hardships, emotional distress and anxieties. This can often lead people to become depressed, withdrawn in their relationships, experience low self-esteem, stuck, and ultimately further away from the life they want to live. When we are struggling, we can find it difficult to discover a path towards a fulfilling life. Does any of this sound familiar?

Life is not always smooth and can present us with situations, some more difficult than others. Some of these situations can be sorted with the help of friends and family and others may need the help of a professional. As a therapist it is my belief that all clients are individual and so my service will be tailored to the individual needs of each client. My work is to help the clients better understand what their needs are and assist in the changes the client wants to make in order to meet these needs. Counselling is a collaborative process where I will assist each client to set goals and work with them in order to achieve these.

I specialise in helping entrepreneurs & professionals achieve clarity & plan; feel motivated & confident; reduce stress; stop procrastinating & take action. I support those with a mission - helping you create, build, & achieve better lives, companies and communities by increasing your impact & effectiveness. You have a crucial goal, but you’re not taking action - and you’re not sure why? Maybe, you know it's important - but something is holding you back. You're having trouble getting started. Maybe you’re a bit anxious about it. You might need more clarity - you're not entirely sure how to proceed. You’re not feeling motivated.

Life doesn’t always run smoothly for us. Grief, loss of all types, trauma and relationship challenges can lead us to feel overwhelmed, depressed, isolated or stuck. Our thoughts can feel uncontrollable. Counselling and talk therapy can help. Working collaboratively, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel seen and heard as well as process and make sense of what’s going on individually for you. I assist you to find your inner capacity to develop positive coping skills.
