In Person Counselling in Dublin 5, Dublin

If you are going through a time of personal difficulty, therapy can be beneficial and helpful. Whatever problem you are experiencing, whether it is anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, sadness, grief, loss, trauma, or difficulty in your relationships with others or yourself, I am here to help. As a counsellor and psychotherapist, I can offer you a space to explore what has happened to you, or what you are experiencing, and can help guide you through changes and personal growth in order for you to move forward in your life.

I have worked in a variety of clinical settings within the mental health sector including hospitals and student counselling services. My broad range of experience includes working with psychiatric diagnoses and those affected by anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, ruminating thoughts, relationship difficulties, bereavement, loneliness and isolation. I have a particular interest in women's mental health with a specific interest in pregnancy related issues, motherhood and pre/post natal depression.

I treat adults (18+) with common mental health problems including Depression, Anxiety, Phobias, Stress, Panic Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). At the moment, therapy sessions are offered by telephone, video or in-person in Dublin. I appreciate that finding the 'right' therapist is hard.

If you're unsure, you may like to read some testimonials on my website or get in touch and we'll arrange an initial phone call to check suitability, free of charge.

Despite our best efforts, there are particular times when life can become difficult and situations can become overwhelming. It is in this place one often starts to consider the support found in Counselling and Psychotherapy. As Kubler-Ross wrote: People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

Counselling and Psychotherapy supports you in changing what is uncomfortable or not working in your life. Change starts with you and counselling supports that you are the most valuable gift on this planet.

If you find it difficult to cope, suffer from stress, panic, fear, anxiety, depression or emotional difficulties. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help. Are you your own harshest critic, feeling not good enough, feeling stuck, lost or comparing yourself to others? Does this impact your mood or behavior? Counselling can help you to feel better about yourself and feel more connected, by making changes to uncover your strengths. It can be a space to talk about distressing experiences, to help you deal constructively with your difficulties and overcome obstacles to help you heal and grow on a journey to self discovery.

From my perspective, psychotherapy means healing. It is the opening, where individuals begin to experience a more full contact with themselves and the outside world. I help them understand their emotions that signpost their needs. I help them to discover their unfulfilled needs and, together, we look for obstacles and barriers that could prevent people from fully enjoying their lives. One step at a time, they become increasingly ready to lead their lives consciously. They begin to authentically live, rather than continue, their lives.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed and unable to focus? I specialize in working with clients struggling with Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Trauma & Unresolved Childhood Issues. I offer weekly psychotherapy and counselling in a private and comfortable setting in Galway and online zoom sessions at a reduced rate. Life can be a struggle when dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, post-traumatic stress, grief, relationship issues, gender identity, unresolved childhood issues, loneliness, suicidal ideation and long-standing hurt or deeply embedded trauma. For specialized treatments I offer hypnotherapy. Together we explore this.

Making the decision to attend psychotherapy can be a positive step. It can help to gain a greater understanding to find the resources to make changes. It can also lead to self-discovery and self-awareness to live a more fulfilling life and to have more meaningful interpersonal relationships. I believe people can be the editors of their own lives, active agents of change, especially when the situations or others around us cannot. This doesn’t mean all things can be changed by us in the way we would like. It simply means sometimes that having more understanding around something, helps things to change or allows us to cope better.

We all want to feel empowered to live our best life. The problem for most of us is that we don't know how and end up feeling depressed, anxious, frustrated or stuck – and we usually turn to food, alcohol, drugs or other behaviours to help us feel better. If this seems familiar, I can help YOU take back control of YOUR life. Working integratively I include all of the elements that make up your whole person including conscious thoughts, unconscious senses, behaviours, somatic sensations and systemic influences. Contacting me is the first step towards YOU becoming empowered to create YOUR best life!

Welcome to Next Step Therapy, an experienced and friendly therapy practice in the heart of Dublin. Our clinical services are: counselling and psychotherapy, addiction assessment and treatment, EMDR for PTSD and complex trauma. I see my therapy room as a sacred space where people can explore things they usually don’t talk about. I approach therapy with an attentive reverence and an attitude of kindness and compassion. The process of therapy is to offer a safe place to explore and name and then change, or accept, these thoughts, attitudes, feelings, moods or behaviours and to experience someone who listens and supports.

My practice is underpinned by the ethics and philosophy of psychoanalysis and I respect the confidentiality and psychical well being of each person I work with.
