Counselling & Psychotherapy
Do you ever feel lost in your life with no sense of which direction to take? You are not alone. The yearning of the human heart is often expressed through questions that attempt to search for meaning in life. It is essential to our psyche to honour these questions - regardless of whether we can answer them or not.
Then what? There are various options worth considering, many of which can be helpful. The art is to discover which is right choice for you at any given time. At times reflecting on the internal questions is sufficient. If the confusion is very great writing out the stream of thoughts can also be helpful. At other times we need interaction with another human being where we can be open to hear the truth as we are experiencing it.
Psychotherapy provides a very specific and structured setting to provide the type of interaction where your authentic experience can be honoured in the presence of another. It is not about changing you. When we explore our inner personal experience and face the reality in which we find ourselves this is the first step to becoming more fully aware of where our strengthes and challenges lie. Following this the next step is to discover how this relates to your ordinary daily life to see if your lifestyle supports your capacity to flourish as a human being. This is a process that requires careful deliberation and reflection. My role here is to support you in this process. It is not about fixing you, curing you, or giving you 10 easy steps to a happy life.
Maybe you already know that you need to make some changes and need support with acting on what you know is right for you. If you would like to discuss how I might support you in your life at this time call me to see how I can help you. Call me on 353-86-8545407 or e-mail;

All questions are necessary and welcome in deciding if this is the right step for you.
Psychotherapy can help you to understand yourself in greater depth and support mature personal development at any age. My role is to listen at the many levels of your Being and provide you with clear unbiased feedback. I can teach you skills to support you to uncover and recognise your truth. It is only by trying things out for yourself you can best discover what works for you.
Mental health is about well-being. For a car to run well it needs constant care and attention. So do we. Taking some time to reflect on your life, with the neutral skilled support that I offer, is one way to give your psyche some care and attention. The uniqueness of such an opportunity is that there doesn't need to be something wrong with you in order to take that time. Consider it as a mental health check-up that is designed to monitor and fine-tune your well-being. It can be a useful time to identify and affirm what supports you, and recognise and deal with any unhelpful patterns that you may come across.
Because relationships require negotiation and compromise they are naturally complex. The benefit of engaging in a therapeutic relationship with me is that together we mutually agree on what you need. I will clearly let you know what I can offer you towards meeting that need and what I think that will require of you. My focus is on you. You do not need to concern yourself with my needs. That is the difference between talking to me rather than a friend. If we arrange to meet regularly for a period of time, I will evaluate how and what we are doing regularly with you.
I welcome hearing from you and will be glad to answer your questions. Call me on 353-86 8545407 or e-mail
