Male Counselling in Navan, MH
I find that many of my clients have difficulty in understanding their issues. My best source of learning has been my own life. Of course, college was needed for the academic side but there is no replacement for life experience. I have come through addiction. I used substances to overcome fears and inhibitions. I lost a wonderful marriage, a high-level job and fabulous home. I lived on the streets. I brought fear, loss and torment to friends and family. I worked my way into this area of work because I survived and am now in a position to help people because I understand what addiction, loss, panic and stress can cause

I believe that each client is unique. This is an important element that must be addressed in finding a bespoke solution to the issues that hold them back from finding serenity in their lives. The disfunction that we manifest is like a toxic suit of armor that we wear to insulate us from pain and hurt not realizing that the armor rather than protecting us only delays the work we must do and hence the armour becomes its own disfunction. I am a Psychotherapist and Addiction Counsellor Accredited by both IACP and ACI. I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy with clients wishing to explore a wide range of issues.

I'm not the nodding therapist, nor the 'as seen on tv' therapist asking "How does that make you feel?". I am just a person who will meet you authentically where you are. I work from a person centred, humanistic modality, where I recognise you as the expert in your life, not the therapist. working alongside you as you discover your strength and experience your growth, overcoming what is causing you pain or holding you back.

Clients come to counselling when their normal coping mechanisms are no longer working for them and they are feeling overwhelmed, confused and afraid. It may be due to anxiety in their life, stress in work or relationships, low self esteem or depression. They come looking for clarity, a sense of understanding that they are not alone in what they are feeling and perhaps for practical techniques to manage the conflicting emotions. They also want to be really listened to and not to be judged as they tell their story.

My interest in psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation began after the end of my marriage several years ago, which like many other types of losses, triggered a lot of suffering. Life transition, family and friends losses, the breakup of long-term relationships, stress, anxiety and depression are all part of human suffering. However, we have an innate capability, which we can strengthen, that allows us to navigate and, more importantly, learn from our most difficult life experiences.

My name is Paul O Beirne and my aim as a therapist is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to enable adults and those in intimate partner relationships to be curious, explore, and develop awareness that can lead to positive personal and relational growth. The purpose of therapy is to welcome in all experiences, feelings and aspects of you that may not have a voice in everyday life and journey compassionately with them together. You do you; because everyone else is taken.

My experience in supporting clients with mental health concerns has been built over the last 15 years. I work with children, adolescents, couples and individual adults. In the first session the aim is to get to know each other and figure out how we will work together, set up therapy goals and agree on the frequency of the sessions. I will take a detailed history and gain a strong understanding of the current issue by the end of the session. Have a look at my website for more information. www.donalreillypsychotherapycounseling.com

In my practice, I strive to provide an environment of safety for clients to develop a compassionate awareness of the problems they are facing. My training has allowed me to develop a strong ability to listen deeply to what clients need; providing a much-needed sound wall so that the client does not feel alone with their problems. In this manner, we as clients can develop a patient understanding of any issue we face, i.e. anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, grief among many others. I work with clients to improve their lives and their management of personal problems in a collaborative, communicative and safe context.

My role will be to listen, bringing your attention to things you might not have noticed, suggesting things to consider, and assisting you in exploring a different perspective, and deepen your understanding of yourself. i

You promised you would not watch online porn or live sex cams again. You feel guilt and shame because you want to stop but cant. You visited a sex worker during lockdown and now you are worried you might have put the health of your family at risk. You plan to spend a short time on dating apps and find yourself spending hours on them, unable to put them down, feeling desperate and hopeless. You have an instant attraction when you meet a particular type of person, believing they are the one. You are in recovery for alcohol / drug addiction, but your compulsive sexual acting out behaviours have increased and you feel guilt and shame.

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
