I have worked as a crisis therapist with Pieta Helpline and I also work in Suicide Bereavement. In life, we can often feel misunderstood, unseen, and unheard. Many of us may become overwhelmed and struggle with addiction, bereavement, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, loneliness, feelings of isolation and more. I believe healing is a process. I facilitate a space for you to explore your needs and life goals more deeply, observing your strengths, qualities and values that can offer you a more meaningful life. Old Sufi saying "I was a Hidden Treasure; I loved to be known".

Hello! My name is Dean Byrne, and I'm a psychotherapist currently working in Portlaoise. I was trained as an integrative therapist, which means I can adapt my approach to the needs of each individual client. My personal approach looks to build a relationship with the client where they feel comfortable sharing in. a safe, non-judgemental space, and this is achieved by allowing the client to feel respected and heard. The thought of therapy can be a scary one, but with a good, collaborative relationship between the counsellor and client, that fear will hopefully be replaced by the rewarding feeling of positive change.

Deciding to come for counselling can often be a difficult and drawn-out process. It is often also a very rewarding and enriching experience leading to changes in one’s life that reduce distress and increase one’s ability to cope with difficulties and challenges. By it's nature the process involves engaging with uncomfortable aspects of oneself and our relationships that are challenging. The goal of the process is to increase self-knowledge, self-acceptance and self-compassion to enhance our capacity to relate to ourselves and others in healthier and more fulfilling ways.
