Frequently Asked Questions
-
Many people seek a psychotherapist in Dundalk for many different reasons: anxiety, feeling stuck, relationship difficulties, or emotional patterns that seem to repeat. But what often emerges over time is something more singular: a question or concern unique to you, trying to find expression not only through your words and reflections, but also through your symptoms, repetitions, and ways of living.
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is particularly well-suited for complex, persistent, or not easily explained challenges.
-
I offer in-person individual work with adults, including psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, depending on what emerges in the work.
-
It is a space where speaking freely allows something that has been repeating in your life to come into view. People often arrive with anxiety, low mood, or relationship difficulties, but what gradually emerges is a more singular question, something trying to find expression through words, patterns, or symptoms.
This work takes seriously the idea that what troubles us is not random or meaningless. Symptoms, repetitions, and impasses are listened to as expressions rather than obstacles. By staying close to how things are spoken and what escapes speech something new can emerge, often bringing movement where things once felt fixed.

Each 40-minute session is €80. For some cases, I may recommend shorter sessions twice weekly. The frequency and duration of sessions vary depending on the type of change you are seeking and the complexity of your issues.

-
My psychotherapy practice is based in Dundalk, Co. Louth. It is in the town centre in a central, easily accessible location.
-
My clinical work is grounded in a broad and rigorous training across psychology, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis. This allows me to respond to people’s difficulties in a way that is careful, specific, and responsive to complexity. Rather than relying on formulaic solutions, my way of working takes each person’s singular experience seriously, creating space for meaningful change to emerge over time.

About Services
-
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a way of working that focuses on the thoughts, behaviours, and feelings that influence us without our conscious awareness. It is s a longer-term process with lasting effects.
-
Psychoanalysis is a deeper, more longer term way of working with the mind, specifically, the unconscious mind. The thoughts, symptoms, and behaviours that influence us without our conscious awareness. It pays close attention to speech, slips, hesitations, and repeating patterns as a way of understanding what’s shaping your life, and it unfolds over time as these things become more visible and available for reflection.
