Female Counselling in Templeogue, DN

My years of experience in working with anxiety, depression and loss has enabled me to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space. By using integrative therapies, I sit with each client and work with their individual needs. I offer a space for clients to express and explore their presenting issues in a comfortable environment.

You’re about to take the first step on a journey, perhaps to find more joy in life, perhaps to untangle relationships, perhaps to understand yourself or others better. Whatever the reason, if we get to talk, I hope I can help you along the way. I understand that for some people, deciding to speak to a counsellor can be difficult. My aim is to provide you with a safe, confidential, and comfortable space; somewhere you can truly be you, secure in the knowledge that there is no judgement, but instead warmth, understanding, empathy and a friendly face.

I am an accredited member of IACP and have been practising as an Integrative Psychotherapist since 2007, however I took a career break in 2011 to have my three children. In 2020 I returned to college completing a Degree in C&P and started counselling clients again.I have worked in Human Resources for the past 20 years which has given be lots of experience dealing with people , coaching, building relationships, mediating and many other skills. Being a working mother of three I understand the challenges of balancing children,home, work and having time for myself. I am currently completing a Diploma in counselling Adolescents.

It can be daunting, picking up the phone or sending an email to request your first counselling session. Chances are you have found yourself here reading this profile because life has become difficult due maybe to excessive worry or a feeling of emptiness or a feeling of being at odds with your loved ones. I would love to hear from you, I believe that I can show you a way forward to peace, contentment, joy and a sense of well-being. “Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place”.

Source Counselling & Psychotherapy is founded on the belief that within you is a source of happiness, inner strength and resiliency that can enable you to deal with the pressures and struggles life can present. It is from these many sources that greater understanding of who you are emerges, a key factor in finding ways to deal with issues and problems you experience. Exploring your issues can provide you with a deeper awareness and understanding of the cause of these problems - the source. Knowing the source of a problem is only part of the work.

Carving out space for ourselves can be daunting - especially when life feels overwhelming. Therapy is a place where you can be heard, be quiet, be unsure, upset, confused, connected - whatever you need to be in that moment - offering relief, understanding and growth. I'm a pre-accredited psychotherapist who works with clients collaboratively to explore feelings of stress, anxiety, apathy, frustration and distress. I have broad experience including trauma, bereavement, work issues, relationship & fertility issues, and use an approach attuned to the needs of each client. Face-to-face, online and walk-&-talk sessions offered.

Clients come to counselling with a broad range of issues, and as unique individuals the approach best suited varies. Taking an integrative (Eclectic) approach allows for the best approach to be utilised. I am an Accredited IACP therapist with a BA (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy, Certificate in Child & Adolescent Counselling & Psychotherapy. MBS Management & Organisational Studies. BA (Hons) International Business. I have many years experience and also continually undertaking professional development in key areas pertinent to Counselling.

With my core training grounded in a humanistic approach I create a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment and relationship for my clients. This enables a respectful exploration and curiosity of core issues, in a gentle yet challenging way, which can ultimately help bring about self-understanding, inner healing, change and growth. Working with the individual needs of each of my clients I draw on knowledge and skills from a range of therapies, body psychotherapy and holistic wellbeing.

Are you feeling anxious, distressed or overwhelmed? Perhaps unexpected life events such as bereavement, loss, relationship break-up or trauma have created a crisis in your life and you are finding it hard to cope. You may feel out of control, depressed and trapped. Change is required yet the path forward is so uncertain. My counselling service offers you a non-judgmental, calm and objective space to discuss what troubles you and find solutions. I work collaboratively, using an integrated therapeutic approach which blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Humanistic Therapy which is Trauma Informed and Strengths Focused.

As a fully Accredited member of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP), I provide both short term and long term counselling in a confidential and safe environment. I practice in an integrative way, combining various theoretical approaches that aid in my ability to support you in whatever problems you may bring to therapy such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, self-esteem issues, anger issues and relationship problems.

There are times when our capacity to feel better, recover or move on with things can feel too difficult to do on our own. It can help to talk to someone outside of your family, friends and familiar relationships to begin to understand how you are feeling. Therapy is a process that can help you explore issues relating to challenging or traumatic life experiences. I can support you in re-discovering a sense of how you can relate to yourself and others in a more resourceful and empowering way. Giving yourself permission to accept support for where you are at is often the hardest thing to do and the most courageous.

Psychotherapy offers the possibility to explore various aspects of your life in a way that is rarely possible with family or friends. Psychotherapy offers a space where you can speak of your suffering and presents the opportunity to re-shape it. It can be a truly transformative experience where you can reflect on your experience in a confidential way.

I will accompany you as you gain insight into your feelings, behaviours and concerns. I can also support you in developing healthy coping skills, to enhance your emotional well-being. Counselling is not undertaken with the intention of changing who we are. It's an opportunity to understand yourself fully, so that you can begin to move forward from a position of increased personal insight and self-compassion.

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.

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.

I believe that all children and young people deserve the opportunity to feel safe, to be happy and to achieve their potential in life. I work creatively using a non-directive, holistic model of Play Therapy to support children to help themselves. Working with a fun, non-judgemental approach I value everybody's talents equally. I facilitate children and young people to choose the activity in each session while I hold the space to keep everybody physically and emotionally safe. In Play Therapy children encounter the world at conscious and unconscious levels, working through difficulties in their own time.

My intention is to provide a compassionate, understanding and safe space for discussing challenging topics. The therapy is at your own pace, I will guide you on your own growth journey in a kind and encouraging setting. As an integrative therapist, I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, such as humanistic, psychodynamics, CBT, and attachment theory. Although it can be difficult to begin therapy, you can make significant changes that will contribute to a happier and more successful life.
