In Person Counselling in Newcastle

My name is Lisa Gallagher. I am an accredited, qualified counsellor & psychotherapist practising online and also face-to-face in Dublin. I am passionate about the well-being of others and have always believed in the resilience of the human spirit. I trust in everyone’s potential to create a balance of autonomy and interconnection in order to contend with life’s challenges. I have worked with many people experiencing depression, grief and trauma, which have become areas of special interest to me. I feel honoured to sit with people in these intense emotional experiences and to help them feel less alone and overwhelmed by their pain.

Life can feel like a rollercoaster at times. Talking to someone can help you make sense of what is going on for you. Slowly you can start to put these negative thoughts and feelings into perspective. We will explore these thoughts and feelings. This allows you to understand why you feel the way you do and it begins the process of change. I support people through a wide range of issues including: stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, loss, bereavement, sexual identity, gender issues, LGBTQI, alcohol and substance abuse, compulsive behaviours, motivation, self-esteem and self-confidence.

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 believe the relationship between a client and their therapist is the cornerstone of what therapy is about. My approach values the whole person, mind, body, and soul, thoughts, feelings, and emotions. A relationship that is built on trust, honesty, and respect in a confidential space. I use an integrative humanistic approach. My work is primarily grounded on Person-centered therapy, choice theory, mindfulness, and existential therapies. I also work in areas of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Family Systems. My goal is to work together with a client to create a counselling journey that is right for you in total confidence.

Maybe you have suffered a loss, or are having relationship issues. Perhaps you are just overwhelmed with life in general, and need someone to talk to. The therapy room is a safe space to explore what is going on for you right now, and together we can figure out some tools to help you through.

Highly experienced and professional mental health service. Providing a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore and be supported through the issues you may be experiencing.
