Help when you need it
Psychotherapy in Clontarf, Dublin
Sometimes you just don’t feel like yourself.
You might not be able to put your finger on exactly what it is. On the outside, life may look fine. You’re getting up, looking after everyone else and doing what needs to be done.
But something has changed.
You might feel overwhelmed, anxious, flat, disconnected or just ‘off’. Perhaps you’re questioning decisions you’ve made, relationships you’re in, or the direction your life has taken. Perhaps you’re tired of feeling like you’re holding everything together.
Or maybe you simply have a sense that you’ve lost touch with yourself somewhere along the way.
You don’t need to know exactly what’s it is before you ask for help.
Therapy does not have to begin with a diagnosis or a clearly defined problem.
It begins with a conversation.
I am a fully qualified psychotherapist and Pre-Accredited Member IACP, offering in-person psychotherapy at Gresham House, Clontarf, Dublin 3, as well as online psychotherapy via Zoom.
Sessions are €70 and last 50 minutes.
How I might help
Psychotherapy can offer you a space to slow down, step back from everything and begin to understand yourself a little more clearly.
· Anxiety or persistent worry
· Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted
· Feeling stuck, lost or disconnected
· Difficulties in relationships
· Family or work related challenges
· A significant life change or transition
· The impact of past experiences
· Questions about identity or the direction your life is taking
· Difficulty understanding or expressing your feelings
· A general sense that you don’t feel like yourself anymore
You don’t have to arrive with a clear explanation of what is wrong. Sometimes knowing that something doesn’t feel right is enough to begin.
What does help look like?
There is no fixed formula for therapy.
You are the expert in your own life. My role is to listen, ask questions, help you explore what is happening and, where appropriate, gently help you challenge some of the ways you may be seeing yourself or your situation.
We might talk about what is happening in your life now, your relationships, family, work, past experiences or the things you find difficult to put into words.
You don’t have to tell me everything straight away.
Therapy takes place at your pace, and the trust we build together is an important part of the process.
I don’t believe therapy is about giving you advice or telling you what you should do.
It is about helping you understand yourself more clearly, so that you can make choices that are right for you.
And you don’t have to be at breaking point to come to therapy.
If something has been on your mind, if you feel stuck, or if you simply feel that you need some space to think, that is enough.
How do I get in touch?

If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, that’s okay too.
The first step can simply be a conversation.
