I am trained as an integrative counsellor and have also helped clients with issues such as anxiety, panic attacks, burnout, anger management, depression.
As every person is unique, I do not believe that one style of counselling fits all. Counselling can and should be adapted to suit each person depending on their needs. I work in a collaborative way as a therapist. This means we will work together to discover which style of counselling is most helpful to you.

I prefer to focus on evidence-based practices in the field of psychotherapy as I believe it is what has helped my clients the most in the past. I want to help people learn to manage, or overcome, some intense feelings/thoughts/behaviours which can come with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I also have a previous degree in psychology and I believe that understanding the core psychological symptoms behind depression, anxiety, and ADHD, can help with improving the quality of life in the client. My main goal in therapy is to help give the client the necessary tools to cope with and manage life difficulties.

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

I believe in the imper manence of life's challenges and the importance of finding humor in life's absurdities.
While my approach is informed by hu manist theories, I do not let these theories limit or define my work. I strive to meet clients where they are in their lives and understand their future aspirations. This understanding helps me tailor my therapeutic approach to best suit each individual. I make it a point to regularly check in with clients to ensure the path we're on is effective and aligned with their needs.

It has been my great pleasure to be both a client and therapist. My understanding of therapy has been informed by experience and academic learning on both sides of the couch and this has had a lasting effect on my approach. Having studied integrative therapy, I hold the view that therapy is best delivered by a process-led approach, which is to say that what the client brings in, is what is worked with. This avails the client to work at their own pace, with my support. Therapy can be a transformative experience and working in a non-judgement and supportive environment provides a microcosm of life to explore safely.

Do you feel depressed or anxious? Maybe you're stuck in your life situation? You want happiness, peace, direction... Let's work together to help you achieve your goals!!!!!!! You might be one of those people who struggles to control their drinking or carrying unbearable pain. It may also be that you have lost the meaning of life and whatever you do seems to go nowhere.

While I work with adults of all age, I specialise in working with young adults/emerging adults through their transitional journey into adulthood. Giving space where they can freely explore their inner world. Their issues may revolve around a sense of existential questioning, identity exploration, or navigating life ups and downs. I provide an empathetic presence, foster self-discovery, and delve into the underlying emotional roots of their struggles. Together, we unravel the layers of their being, ignite their inner wisdom, and facilitate a transformative process that leads to authenticity, growth, and a life lived with intention.

My approach to counselling is integrative, primarily Hu manistic, CBT and Solution-Focused.
Is something on your mind? Perhaps something from your past that you've never fully dealt with? Counselling can help, allowing you the time to talk about what's going on for you in a non-judgemental and safe space. Working with a counsellor, you can find out your truth, have a better understanding of why you do and think the things you do, discover coping mechanisms and lighten your load. If that's something you would like to do with me then I would love to hear from you.

Male Counsellors
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.
