Suicidal Ideation Counselling in Dublin

Have you reached a turning point, do you feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster right now? I am passionate about creating a safe place where you will be heard, without any judgement. A variety of factors lead people to encounter extremely difficult periods in their lives, leaving them with overwhelming feelings of distress. 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.

Work pressures, financial worries, relationship problems, and unresolved personal issues can all impact on the way we feel about ourselves and the way we perceive the world around us. Do you ever wonder why the same problems keep arising or why the same mistakes keep occurring? Where our feelings and thoughts become overwhelming they can cause us to feel lost, fearful, and lonely.

All people at some point in their lives go through very difficult experiences or situations that can affect their mental and physical health, that is why my role as a psychotherapist is to help people deal with any type of problem that they might present such as depression, stress/anxiety, panic attacks, loss and grief, relationship problems, divorce/separation, coping with physical Illness, burnout/fatigue, loneliness, trauma, etc. During the therapeutic process, you will receive support in a very safe, confidential and trustworthy environment. My approach is empathetic, non-judgemental and compassionate.

At any time life's demands can become overwhelming. Clients benefit from the time and space to explore the thought processes and behaviours that are keeping them trapped in negative cycles.

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.

L i f e ' s  c h a l l e n g e s can present an opportunity for growth and personal development. However, sometimes, these challenges may seem too much. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling depressed, anxious and overwhelmed. Or perhaps just stuck? Dr. McAteer can help in these situations, by providing evidenced based therapy which treats individual difficulties. These might include anxiety, depression, addiction or perhaps relational difficulties with a partner. Whatever your problem, psychotherapy with Susan offers a safe, confidential, diversity friendly, space to work through it.

I believe that everyone has the capacity and the inner strength that can be utilized to a happier and more fulfilling life. I work with a humanistic- integrative approach that is based on a strong therapeutic relationship in which clients can feel heard and that they are not alone with their problems, and which approach allows me to tailor the therapeutic process to the client’s needs. Through my work I provide a safe, non-judgmental, empathic environment to anyone in which clients can gain a better understanding of their past and present, strengthen their identity and confidence, and plan/ work towards a more satisfying future.

I am an experienced Humanistic Psychotherapist and Counsellor registered and accredited with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). Based in the heart of Dublin, I offer both short-term and long-term therapy both in-person and online. Whether your reason for seeking therapy now is influenced by a current challenge in your life or whether you have been considering this for a long time, it would be a pleasure to meet you. My Person-Centred core approach means that I believe that each and every person can, and will, become a more fully functioning person if given the right conditions.

Are you feeling stressed or anxious, sad or depressed ? Have you suffered loss or bereavement ? Do you want to make sense of a challenging issue and abolish your self-critic and enhance your self-esteem ? Siobhan has worked with a varied range of people and presenting issues and she focuses on creating a supportive relationship for positive and constructive therapy. Drawing from a variety of theories, Siobhan integrates them to work in a way that suits each clients needs.

The client who is motivated to engage with the work of therapy is my ideal client, whether it is in Individual Therapy or Group Therapy. I meet with a new client for a number of sessions so that we can decide together what might be the most beneficial form of therapy. From there, the client usually agrees to make a commitment to meeting regularly, giving themselves the time it takes to begin the know and understand their emotional issues.

I help clients work through issues such as coping with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem and relationship problems. Bringing a warm, non-judgmental space I can help you to explore whatever issue you bring to therapy. I tailor my approach to your needs using my training in a number of models of therapy. I help you to delve deeper into the root cause of whatever you are struggling with so that you can reach a greater depth of understanding and connection with your self. You can then bring this knowledge and awareness into your life so that you are better able to manage yourself whatever obstacles come up in your life.

Please go to my website, do not contact me through psychology today. It may be understanding thoughts and feelings or recognizing behaviours that no longer serve you and working towards reaching positive fulfilment in your life. Learning to trust and understand yourself is the first step in challenging negative thoughts and bringing about positive change. If you are a person who is trans or gender-expansive I will accompany and support you at whatever stage you are at on your journey. Being heard, accepted and affirmed by someone who does not judge or ask you to justify your experience of life can be a deeply healing experience.

“Overactive” busy minds have difficulty slowing down. I see it everyday. Having genes for a mental illness does not guarantee having one. Exposure to traumas is also needed to cause a disturbance in transmitters and hormones in the body. I help a person when they are looking for help in reducing psychiatric medications or before taking them. My experience involves helping a person process their traumas to heal them emotionally. In Walsh protocol , food supplements are prescribed instead of psychotropic medications that participate in hormonal and neurotransmitter metabolism. I can speak English, Hindi/ Urdu and Punjabi.

I have a special interest in working with people across the perinatal period. From conception to parenthood, including navigating the journey of conception, pregnancy, birth & adjusting to early parenthood. While for some, this journey can be relatively straightforward; for others, it can include the challenges of infertility (primary or secondary), assistive reproductive technologies (including IVF), miscarriage, pregnancy loss, baby loss, birth disappointment, birth trauma, gender disappointment, perinatal anxiety, depression & OCD, adjustment difficulties to parenting roles & navigating matrescence.

Life is full of ups and downs, and it's completely normal to feel overwhelmed or unsure about how to cope, at times. Taking the step to seek help can indeed feel daunting, but in my practice, I aim to make that process as comfortable and supportive as possible. When you step into my therapy space, you'll find a welcoming atmosphere where you're accepted just as you are. Whether you're grappling with past traumas, current stressors, or uncertainty about the future, I provide a warm and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to open up and explore whatever is on your mind.

I provide a space which is safe and secure. The Therapeutic place is where you will be listened to and cared for. You will be understood and supported as you go about healing your experiences of trauma and the past. It is my aim to help you cope with the challenges and enable you to respond with new found tools to deal with the difficulties and circumstances of daily life.

I established Lyric Therapy in the heart of Dublin City as a safe and welcoming space to unpack issues and collaborate on navigating difficult situations as well as deeply meaningful life goals.
