Therapy Services in South Dublin & Dundalk

Based in South Dublin and Dundalk, I offer a range of psychotherapy services designed to explore the deeper emotional and psychological dynamics affecting your life. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, or seeking a more profound exploration of your emotional world, my approach focuses on understanding the hidden emotional forces at play and creating lasting change.

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

Are you struggling with unresolved emotional patterns or recurring life difficulties? Psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers an in-depth process for exploring the root causes of these struggles. By examining past experiences and the underlying emotional patterns, we can work toward unravelling the emotional knots that may be impacting your current life.

This deeper, introspective approach is particularly helpful for those who have sought shorter-term therapies without finding lasting resolution. Through consistent engagement, the work aims to move beyond these patterns that tend to repeat and land at reconfiguring something new for yourself and to re-orientate yourself in your life. This creates a loosening of the coordinates in your life that are tightly knotted so that you can become more at ease with yourself and others.

 In psychoanalytic psychotherapy, we begin with what brings you to therapy—and often find that deeper connections emerge. People come to therapy for many reasons, and while each person’s story is unique, some of the areas that are often explored include:

Anxiety Counselling & Psychoanalytic Therapy

Do you experience overwhelming anxiety or persistent worry? In psychoanalytic therapy, we explore what this anxiety is for you and how it manifests for you, seeking to understand the origins of your anxiety rather than just managing its symptoms.

By uncovering these underlying factors, the work aims at easing the grip of anxiety, and reduce the distress it causes. This in-depth approach often provides lasting relief where other, more surface-level therapies may not.

If you’ve ever wondered, "Why am I anxious?" or felt overwhelmed by persistent worry, I encourage you to check out my blog post “Why Am I Anxious?”, where I dive deeper into this question and how psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help you manage it effectively.

Relationship Counselling & Psychoanalytic Therapy

Are you experiencing recurring difficulties in your relationships? Whether it’s struggles with communication, trust, or conflict, relationship counselling helps to uncover the hidden dynamics at play. We look at how hidden emotional patterns, past experiences, and unresolved feelings may be affecting your relationships.

By bringing these factors into awareness, we can begin to shift these dynamics, fostering more fulfilling, authentic connections. It is about loosen the coordinates that have always been there and working to reconfigure new coordinates. In other words, a new position that you take up in your relationships.

Phobia Counselling & Psychoanalytic Therapy

Are irrational fears affecting your daily life? Phobias often stem from deeper emotional conflicts or past experiences that have yet to be processed. In therapy, rather than searching for a single cause, we listen to how the fear speaks — what it might be pointing to, what place it holds in your life, and what it makes possible or impossible.

By exploring the emotional triggers, we can begin to reduce the intensity of these fears and work toward freeing you from their hold. This process offers lasting relief and a chance to live more fully without the constraints of phobic responses.

How I Work

Whether it is therapy for anxiety, relationship challenges or phobia’s — Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy responds to the singularity of the person. We will explore the deeper emotional forces that may be shaping your thoughts, behaviours, and struggles and to work through them in a way that brings about lasting change.

Psychoanalytic therapy is a deep, reflective process, and while it requires commitment, it provides valuable insights and lasting change that can help you move beyond old patterns.
