I aim to provide psychotherapy in a safe, confidential space. This gives the opportunity to explore issues that may be impacting your day to day life. I work with adults on a one to one basis and have extensive experience with older clients who have experienced loss and bereavement or have a life changing or life limiting condition or illness. I offer a safe and non judgemental space to explore issues and work together to ensure that you do not have to face these issues alone. I work until 9pm weekdays and also on Saturdays. Online or in person available. 0851794826

"At times in our lives we can feel over-whelmed, that we can’t cope, when depression and anxiety take over. At such times we can end up feeling stuck, not knowing what to do next. Old patterns of behaviour and coping strategies, which were once effective, may now operate as a stumbling block in our lives." Hi, my name is Sinéad and since qualifying as a Psychotherapist I have undergone further training in the areas of Somatics and Emotion Focused Therapy with an emphasis on working with trauma, loss and attachment. I use an integrative approach, adopting my therapeutic style to the specific needs of the client.

I believe that each individual that comes through the doors is exactly that - an individual. Every client has their own unique needs and make up which is key in identifying in order to help facilitate recovery and growth. Life has many ups and downs for us all and at times we need help in working through some of the ups and downs. Finding the right therapist can be a valuable asset during these times and I'm a strong believer in the importance for each client in finding the "right fit" for them in order to really be able to get what they need from the therapy.

If you are feeling anxious, confused, depressed, unfulfilled, or are trying to adjust to a life change, therapy is a good choice. These feelings don't have to last forever. I work with people who are experiencing low self-esteem, relationship or family issues, sadness, body image or eating disorders, sexual issues, bereavement and trauma. Therapy is useful in creating a personal sanctuary where you can take time to reflect and understand the reasoning behind the decisions you have made, and for facilitating change in your life. In this process, I can help you see how the past is impacting the present and how you can get passed this.

I work with people who come to counselling for a wide variety of reasons. Perhaps in your case you've been aware things aren't the way you'd like them to be, and perhaps you've been struggling quite a bit. Maybe you've been thinking that you can manage this yourself, but now you are not so sure, but the thought of speaking about it, really being honest about it, is pretty scary. The struggle might be anything; anxiety, feeling low, feeling bad about yourself, memories that disturb you, behaviours you can't seem to get a handle on, struggling after a loss, just feeling that you're not yourself or who you know you can be.

Female Counsellors

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
