Counselling in Dublin 16, Dublin

My clients come from a range of differing backgrounds, with unique life histories, and issues related to sexuality, internal conflicts, emotional dysregulation, and more. Some have mental health diagnoses while others are simply trying to find their way through the ups and downs of everyday life. My aim is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for all clients to express themselves freely and to collaboratively find ways to help them move towards improved mental health. Please note that I am Chinese-born-Canadian but, only offer services in English.

At any time life's demands can become overwhelming. Clients benefit from the time and space to explore the thought processes and behaviours that are keeping them trapped in negative cycles.

People can experience difficulties or challenges at any point in their lives, such as anxiety, low mood and trauma. At other times, life events like bereavement, the ending of a relationship or unexpected illness can make people feel upset, distressed and confused. The help and support of a clinical psychologist can help ease these painful feelings and work towards adjustment and an improved sense of well-being. If the source of the difficulties are not obvious at first, a psychological assessment can also be helpful.

I am an experienced counsellor and I understand contacting me is difficult. You may be feeling overwhelmed and possibly finding it difficult to cope. I will support you as we explore what you need from counselling and how I can help you. I believe that life doesn't have to be so hard and it is possible for you to live in a more fulfilling way. Counselling is a wonderful opportunity to take stock of your life, to heal old wounds and figure out how to live happily. Let us work together to help you learn to understand why you are feeling and behaving in certain ways and how to make different choices that will enhance your life.

Life can be challenging and can bring hardships, conflict and pain. Often people seek therapy at a moment of crisis where they want change in their lives. Psychotherapy offers the possibility for an individual to explore various aspects of their life and be listened to in a way that is rarely possible with family or friends. My experience includes working with psychiatric diagnoses, those affected by issues and symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement, addiction, relationship issues, questions of gender and sexuality.

Sometimes in life you need a place to explore the difficulties that arise. Either behaviours, feelings or emotions. At times you need to be listened to confidentially and without judgement. What troubles our minds can have such a negative impact on the quality of our lives. Psychological troubles come in many forms, relational both to oneself and to others, grief and loss, behavioural problems from anxiety or depression and rage or sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what it is, only a sense that things are not right. The first brave step to take is to share that difficulty.

People who come to therapy want to make changes in their life. At some time we will all face circumstances which challenge our resilience: illness; bereavement and mortality; depression and anxiety; trauma and violence; relationship problems; career difficulties; loss of identity; spiritual crisis. When difficult experiences leave us feeling helpless and stuck, the work of self-exploration opens new doors of possibility.

I am a Masters qualified, fully insured and accredited therapist with over 12 years experience working with adolescents, pre teens and adults.

I have worked for many years at a senior level with complex trauma cases as a therapist, Clinical Coordinator and therapeutic Head of Department in conjunction with key stakeholders from health, education and residential care settings. My approach to each client is individual creative and empathic.

Therapy is an opportunity to begin to talk about what you are experiencing at the moment. The process of saying what is happening for you, and being met in that by somebody who wishes to better understand you, offers you the potential to begin to see your situation more clearly, increase your awareness and gain insight. I work in an integrative way bringing in the appropriate tools and techniques that our individual work together demands in the moment. My main way of working is psychodynamic. My aim is to help you to see yourself better.

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.
