David is a BA qualified psychotherapist with more than 10 years post graduate experience. He works on a one to one basis and takes a humanistic, client-led approach to his work, with a particular emphasis on how early experience can impact on our current lives and relationships. He believes that psychotherapy can create an atmosphere of connection and collaboration so that difficult experiences or emotions can be safely shared, acknowledged and integrated. The therapeutic connection becomes the safe container in which this happens for you. This emotional integration enables change and growth to happen. Based on the idea that ‘you are your own expert’, David takes a non-directive approach, intended to acknowledge, respect and enable your authentic self to emerge. The safe therapeutic space allows you to move past your ‘story’ and towards acceptance of your true self. Issues that he works with include (but are not limited to): anxiety, low self-esteem, sexual abuse, trauma, depression and adverse childhood experience. He holds a degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and is accredited with the IACP

Linda is a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist holding a Higher Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Master of Arts in Psychotherapy from Dublin Business School. Linda’s training and theoretical approach is humanistic and integrative meaning that she draws on whatever approach is appropriate to suit the individual needs of the client facilitating self-awareness and growth. This growth can free a client from the limitations of old patterns enabling a client to become better at coping with life’s difficulties and allowing a more realistic satisfaction of life to emerge. Linda has extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds within the Dublin area having worked for over 4 years in the Oasis Centre in Dublin City, Darndale Community Centre and 18 months in the Remedy Clinic, providing therapy to individuals suffering from bereavement, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, addiction and relationship difficulties. Fundamentally, Linda believes that the relationship between Therapist and client is key for effective therapy and is influenced by the works of Carl Rogers who writes “It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried… the gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another.”

I work with the full range of human experience where your whole self is welcome. My caring journey began 20 years ago when I embarked upon a career in social care. I am now a fully accredited member of IAHIP & ICP. I understand how challenging life can be for all of us and have found that growth and change is often determined by how we feel towards ourselves. Central to my work is the relationship we have. I believe it is the heart of the therapeutic process. I will work with you in an empathic and compassionate manner holding space within which you can explore. As a psychodynamic therapist I believe our early beginnings are of particular importance and crucial to how we develop as adults. Within my practice I allow for the open exploration of these early dynamics which may be contributing to current issues. This interest is reflected in the many training courses I have undertaken. Since 2018 I have studied and engaged with the work of Dr Una McCluskey and her Goal-Corrected Empathic Attunement model. In November of this year, I will be training with Dr Anthony Bateman in the use of the Adult Attachment Interview.

As an integrative psychotherapist, Cian combines a number of different theoretical perspectives including Person Centered, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Humanistic and he also looks at the therapeutic relationship from an attachment theory lens. Cian’s main focus is on the therapeutic relationship between himself and his clients. He feels that when clients are respected and given the opportunity to express how they are, in the present moment and be listened to in an empathic and non-judgmental way within the relationship, his clients experience trust, safety and security, which they may never have experienced before. When this occurs, the secure base has been created for clients to explore and understand themselves on a deeper level, in a safe environment, at their own pace.

My name is Justin Cullen. I am a qualified psychotherapist and completed my training with IICP college in Tallaght. This marked a significant shift in my career, having spent many years working in product transfer as an analytical chemist in the pharmaceutical industry. The methodical aspect of this work has benefitted my practice as a therapist, as I always pay close attention to detail and take note of the unremarkable. My journey into therapy so far is aided by this analytical curiosity about myself and others and my experience in the client’s chair. My reward for all of this change was a rebirth of sorts and the opportunity to live a happy, fulfilling life.

I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor having obtained a BSc in integrative counselling and psychotherapy from IICP college. I have also obtained certifications from PCI college in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Gender, Sexuality,Relationships and Diversity. My experience includes working in person at Genesis Psychotherapy and the Village Counselling Service dealing with a range of issues including anxiety, stress, anger, self-esteem, family and relationship issues and domestic abuse and I have also worked with clients online. My goal is to foster a warm, supportive, and safe online environment where you feel valued, heard, and comfortable working with me. Therapy can help us to overcome trauma and negative feelings and experiences and to begin to feel good about ourselves and to explore how me may wish to grow and flourish in a way unique to us. I recognize that every individual’s journey is unique, and as such, there is no single “correct” way to work with clients. I integrate person-centred therapy with choice theory, placing a strong emphasis on building a positive client-therapist relationship while exploring how the choices we make can impact our well-being and personal fulfillment. My approach is similar to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but avoids a rigid structure. Instead, I prioritize flexibility and adaptability, allowing sessions to flow naturally and respond effectively to your unique needs. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.
