The following is from a person who had successfully completed a long term in Counselling. quote; Anthony I came to you with a battered pail of clotted brokenness, hoping that you would transform its sourness into butter for the bread of life.

I offer a safe and secure space where clients can express and explore concerns and difficulties in an open and reflective way, where they can talk and be listened to, without being judged. I work in an integrative way with Person Centred Therapy at its core and I use tools and techniques, when appropriate, from Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. This approach allows the client the opportunity to simply “be” which can be of great support, especially in times of crisis and, additionally, the use of techniques and tools helps the client foster a new perspective and explore coping skills which will enable them to make real changes to the quality of their well being.

I work from an Integrative approach, establishing a therapeutic relationship with the client. Helping the client to gain their own autonomy, avail of their own coping mechanisms but I also listen, so the client can be heard. Techniques from Humanistic, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy and Gestalt provide the basis for my approach. I work with individuals, children and adolescents and couples.

Things never have a way of working out in life as to how we thought it would. Life throws many obstacles in our path, which can be very challenging. These can cause us to question ourself, our lives and our beliefs. These can create anxiety or depression, feelings of not being able to cope. It can leave us feeling broke and feeling that there is no way forward. We loose someone we love or a relationship or job, which can lead us to grieving for what we have lost. Sometimes we just need to find the right direction for our life.
I am trained to listen sympathetically and can help you deal with any negative thoughts and feelings. I am skilled at helping you express your worries and concerns I will provide a safe space so that you can hear yourself think out loud about your life, express how you’re really feeling and discuss concerns and worries without being judged.
I provide a non-judgemental space to allow you to face your challenges and support you on that journey. I have faced a lot of challenging life experiences and I feel that this has helped me to become the person that I am today. Which has allowed me to have the experience to help you with your life experiences.

My therapeutic approach is warm, accepting, inclusive and practical . Additionally, I place a high value on careful listening, empathy, professional ethics and accountability. I aim to provide a space to explore difficult, and often painful, experiences and emotions. These may include feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, loss, distress, isolation, trauma, addiction etc; or perhaps the loss of a sense of direction or purpose in life.

I provide a holistic approach in working with people, I am an accredited counsellor and a Kinesiologist. I work with clients to develop individual program’s specific to client needs. The program’s main focus is on counselling, but it can also include emotional, nutritional and energy balancing dependant on the client’s needs. My main focus is supporting clients and the use of techniques and information that help client’s empower themselves in their lives.

I work with clients using a Person Centered approach, Humanistic Integrative therapy, Family Systems therapy and Autism Informed therapy. My style is direct but empathic. I work with adults in a range of areas to help them deal with anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship issues. My background is in working in a sexual violence service so I am a specialist RCC counsellor. My other interest is in Autism Informed therapy which views Autistic Neurodivergence in a positive light rather than as a problem. My therapeutic approach would be to help autistic clients live happier and more fulfilled lives within their autistic identity.

My expertise lies in helping clients achieve clarity and assisting them to reflect on areas of their lives that may be causing difficulty; along with exploring aspects of themselves and their world which may help to bring about change, if that is their wish.    I strive to provide a confidential and supportive atmosphere of mutual respect, where clients can express themselves openly and be sure of an empathetic and non-judgemental response. My approach is ‘integrative’ – which means I utilise my knowledge  of different therapies (including Person-Centred, REBT/CBT), recognising that no single form of therapy is best in all situations for all clients, and that each one of the many approaches to therapy has some value.  Therefore the sessions are flexible and tailored to address each individual clients needs and personality. I have considerable experience in assisting clients address and resolve specific problems, cope with crise and resolve  work related stress.

Empowering people to free themselves from unhelpful and limiting thinking and beliefs, become more self-compassionate and move towards living richer and more meaningful lives is a central value of mine.

I would call my approach an eclectic one as I come from a person centred background but also use a lot of Cognitive Behavioural and Solution Focused techniques as well as Choice Theory. As every person is different the issues each client comes in with are unique to their circumstances, requiring an approach tailored to suit their particular needs. My aim is to provide a safe space in which my clients will be able to work through their individual concerns.

Techniques used include Person Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Behaviour and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Psychoanalysis, NLP, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt Therapy, Existential therapy, Narrative Therapy, Family SystemTherapy, Transpersonal and Integrated approaches.

As a Humanistic & Integrative Psychotherapist I combine different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of  individual clients. This approach creates a space for individual’s to develop an awareness around what is preventing them from living their life to its fullest.  As a supervisor I use an integrative model of supervision. I provide a safe space where the nuances of the relationship co-created by the client and the therapist can be explored through reflection, personal & professional development and theoretical integration.

Techniques used include Person Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Behaviour and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Psychoanalysis, NLP, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt Therapy, Existential therapy, Narrative Therapy, Family SystemTherapy, Transpersonal and Integrated approaches.

I believe very strongly in the concept of and professional delivery of clinical supervision. I deliver it in an open, encouraging and challenging, yet supportive manner to all supervisee’s. I encourage reflective practice, theory integration, personal and professional development and above all adherence to the highest ethical standards ensuring best practice philosophy towards our clients.

My approach is integrative, being primarily person-centred. The person-centred approach forms the basis of the all-important client/counsellor therapeutic relationship. Additionally, I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. As a general counsellor I am experienced in working with an array of issues.

My approach is one of integrative psychotherapy. The theoretical orientation that serves as my foundation is person-centred therapy, to facilitate the building of a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. I support this orientation with cognitive behavioural skills and solution focused competencies which minimizes emphasis on past failings and instead focuses on the clients strengths and previous successes. The formulation of a comprehensive case conceptualization is also a core component of the CBT element of my approach.

Integrative approach

I work always with the client in choosing an approach that will meet their needs. I have experience with depression and anxiety related issues, grief, stress management, sexuality, anger management, panic attacks, post natal depression, addiction, isolation.

Every client is different, and everyone’s experience of counselling is different. I rarely give advice however I do introduce clients to various relaxation techniques and awareness building exercises. I try to understand what’s going on for each client, and what it is that they are working towards. I then facilitate this process on the understanding that clients have the capacity within themselves to heal and grow and change

I use a person-centred approach incorporating other modalities such as Solution Focussed Therapy, CBT and Mindfulness. I have worked for over 15 years supporting people diagnosed with acquired serious illness, as well as their family members.

Primarily I work with couples who are experiencing difficulties in their relationship. I take a Person centered counselling approach to this work using the work of John Gottman and Gerard Egan.  I Also use CBT when working with individuals who are suffering the effects of anxiety or depression.

Therapy is a very personal process. The sessions are client led. Therapy provides you with a safe, confidential and supportive place to explore the difficulties you are facing in your life. Together we work with enhancing well-being; promoting awareness; growth, turning negatives  into positives. I equip my clients with the tools to develop  new sets of skills that will help  make the changes they desire, solve the problems that brought them in, and better cope with whatever challenges might arise in the future

I provide you with a safe haven to explore the difficulties you are facing, develop new sets of skills that will help you make the changes you desire, solve the problems that brought you in, and better cope with whatever challenges might arise in the future. Counselling is a very personal process.

I am committed to providing counselling in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment, I am considered to be a warm, compassionate and experienced counsellor with a natural ability for putting my clients at ease.

General feelings of discontent of unknown origin
Anxiety ~ Panic ~ Phobias
Stress ~ Intimacy Issues ~ Anger ~ Separation ~ Divorce

General Counselling approach. I have extensive experience working with Young People and Adults both in practice, and though my work in both the Statutory Education and Voluntary Youth Sector.

I specialise in supporting Young People 10-24 years with mental health difficulties that negatively affect thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In particular, I work with and support Young People who are experiencing issue with bullying, anxiety, depression, separation and loss, anger management, identity, body image, relationships, communication, confidence and self-esteem, suicide and suicidal thoughts, self-harm, drugs and alcohol and more.

Confidential Counselling to individuals, couples, families and groups. Person Centered, CBT and Mindfulness approaches are used for any issue; anger management, anxiety, bereavement, depression, stress, panic attacks, phobias and personal development etc. These approaches are particularly suited to those who want to understand themselves, and who want to understand and use skilful ways of dealing with emotional pain and life’s challenges. Issues are worked through in such a way that enables the client to become more aware and to learn to live life in a more resourceful and satisfying way.

Relationships

Integrated approach – solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy

My approach is Person-Centered and Integrative. Together we will explore your thoughts and feelings, build an understanding of your particular needs and decide what approaches may best meet those needs.

For example, some clients may simply need the safety, time and space to tell their story, work through their feelings of loss, sadness grief, anger, disappointment, confusion etc, discover their own solutions and feel respected and heard for who they are. Others perhaps might like to use some CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) techniques – which enable them to challenge old beliefs & negative thoughts and learn, adopt and practice new behaviours. Others again might prefer the Biodynamic approach which tends to be more holistic and adopts a mind /body approach; aspects of Gestalt, Transactional analysis

My approach is one of positive focus, keeping the client at the centre of the session, empowering the client to find within themselves a way of being living and managing the day to day stresses and joys of life. Exploring with the client ways of witnessing the change that life can bring and working with these changes, towards developing a new and integrated approach to life

​

​

Although my approach is primarily CBT, I employ a number of modalities including TA, Reality/Choice, Polyvagal, EMDR, psychoanalytic, existential to name a few.
I work with both adolescents and adults in a range of areas such as: anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, self confidence, self esteem, relationship issues, thinking distortions.

My main approach in therapy sessions is to use Cognitive Behavioural Therepy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, also known as CBT, is a therapy which focuses on how emotions, thoughts and behaviours influence each other in our daily lives. The main element of CBT is setting goals as this helps the person to focus their thoughts, emotions and behaviours on the issue that is bothering them in the moment. CBT also encourages people to look at their lives in the present moment, while occasionally delving back to their past. Even though CBT is known as a structured therapy, it is important for the individual to steer their own journey, whilst I accompany them therapeutically.

Integrative

Throughout my years of work I have encountered many mental health issues faced by clients such as anxiety, depression, self harm, phobias, low self-esteem, relationship issues, eating disorders, grief and loss, suicide ideation and addiction. I work with all age groups from 18+.

I work with an integrative approach which means I use various approaches depending on your needs. Mostly using cognitive behavioral therapy and person centered therapy and sometimes using mindfulness techniques or psycho-educational tools where beneficial.

I will support you in developing and enhancing your coping skills with the ultimate aim of enhancing your emotional wellness. I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to work through any issues you may need support with.

Utilizing where it may be helpful a range of evidence based theories to support my practice including Brief Solution Focused Therapy, CBT, DBT, Sandtray and Mindfulness. Central to my practice is the value and significance of the therapeutic relationship and I endeavour to provide a warm safe space where we can explore any challenges or changes you would like support with.

Associate Lecturer General Entry Medical School, University of Limerick (ULGEMS)

I have over 20 years' experience in providing individual therapy and training services to individuals, groups and organisations at an International Level.

My approach is to provide an opportunity for people to change their lives by altering the negative unhealthy thinking patterns that can be so destructive and debilitating. My style is direct but empathetic and with an underlying understanding and compassion for the human condition.

I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instil self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and counsellor alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behaviour and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering.
I worked with a diverse range of clients. Moreover, I have previously work in Mountjoy Prison, where I supported inmates and provided a non-judgmental ear and a safe space where they could share. In addition, I volunteered in Cheeverstown working with people with intellectual disabilities, where I was engaging and encouraging the residents in social activities.

Clinical Supervision, Counselling, Psychoeducation, Mentoring

I see therapy as providing a supportive space where clients can be listened to and given time to feel and process difficulties. It can also offer clients a concentrated time to develop an increased awareness of their opportunities and choices despite the inevitable fluctuating human experience of joy and adversity. Consequently this can enable clients to courageously take responsibility for their lived experiences and move forwards with integrity and a more wholehearted understanding of their potential. Additionally, this can cultivate trust in themselves to be able to manoeuvre through difficult experiences in the future.

I am also fully trained and qualified in Mindfulness-Based Approaches such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy.


I have a special interest in ‘third wave’ CBT therapy which integrates Mindfulness, Self-Compassion and Acceptance-Based Approaches. I find integrating CBT and Mindfulness to be extremely beneficial. You will see significant improvements in your overall wellbeing and resilience to your life challenges. These approaches will help you to rebuild your confidence and enthusiasm, and to live your life in a way that truly matters to you.

I am also an autism-informed therapist who has worked for many years with a HSE funded organisation based in Cork and Kerry alongside autistic adults supporting them on their own unique life journey. I specialize in ‘late-diagnosis’ autism, those who received their diagnosis in adulthood or who may feel that they have some autistic traits they would like to further explore through counselling and psychotherapy. We will address your mental health needs through an autism specific lens. Such as understanding how social information processing, social imagination, social communication, executive function and sensory processing have influenced your life experience.

I use an integrative approach to therapy; which consists of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic therapy, and Person-centered therapy. One approach does not fit all, just as one size shoe does not fit all feet. This is one of my reasons for using an integrative approach. It would not be beneficial for me to stick to an approach that would not suit a client at that moment in time; I do not make my clients suit one approach. I truly believe using an integrative approach in therapy works best. Because you are unique.
