FAQ

Imagine sitting down for the first time with someone who's here just for you - ready to listen, understand, and help you feel heard and seen. That first session is more than just an introduction - it's the beginning of a journey towards healing. It's a safe space where you can ask questions, speak your mind, and share your worries and hopes about what therapy might hold for you. I, as your therapist, will ask some questions about your past and present, so that we can gain a deeper understanding of what led you here today. It's not just about gathering information, it's about creating a connection - a relationship built on trust and understanding. 

You have the freedom to end therapy whenever you feel it's right for you. However, I do suggest committing to at least six sessions before making a decision to stop, as it usually takes on average six sessions to begin experiencing the full benefits of the therapeutic work. In cases of long-term therapy, it's helpful to spend a number of sessions preparing for closure. 

Each session lasts approximately 50 minutes. In-person therapy takes place in Malahide, Co. Dublin. Online sessions take place via a secure telehealth platform.

Counselling is for those moments when life feels overwhelming - whether you're facing relationship struggles, stress at work, recent losses, or a deep sense of dissatisfaction you can't quite shake. It's about having someone by your side during tough transitions or times of crisis, offering you a safe, non-judgmental space to make sense of it all. Together, we can unpack what's been weighing on your mind, find clarity, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself during the process.

Psychotherapy offers deep, compassionate support for those who feel stuck in challenging emotions, unhelpful thoughts, or patterns of behaviour that seem impossible to break. It's about going beyond the surface to explore long-standing issues rooted in past experiences - whether from trauma, neglect, or painful memories of abuse. It's a space to address struggles like persistent anxiety, panic attacks, disordered eating, or the weight of depression. Together, we can gently unpack these difficult parts of your life in a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment, helping you gain clarity and understanding. With time, psychotherapy helps you make sense of your experiences and helps you find a path toward greater well-being, healing, and lasting change.
