Discover unique therapy approaches including CBT, REBT, ACT, PCT, and Nature Based Therapy tailored to your individual needs for holistic healing.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It’s based on the idea that the way we think can influence how we feel—and that by changing unhelpful thinking patterns, we can improve our emotional wellbeing and daily life.
CBT is practical and goal-focused. Together, we look at specific challenges you’re facing, identify patterns of thinking that may be contributing to distress, and work on developing more balanced, helpful perspectives. Whether it’s anxious thoughts, self-criticism, or beliefs rooted in shame—CBT gives you tools to challenge and change them.
It’s particularly effective for anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, shame, and many other emotional or behavioural difficulties. CBT helps you build self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and make sense of what’s happening internally in a clear, manageable way.
You don’t have to “just cope” or stay stuck in cycles of worry, self-doubt, or avoidance. CBT offers a practical path forward—supporting you in creating real, lasting change by learning to respond to challenges with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
If you're ready to take an active role in your healing, CBT could be a great fit
REBT
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) is a practical, empowering form of counselling that helps you identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns that impact how you feel and behave. Developed by psychologist Albert Ellis, REBT is one of the original cognitive-behavioural approaches and focuses on the powerful link between our beliefs, emotions, and actions.
REBT works on the idea that it’s not just events that upset us—but our beliefs about those events. For example, thoughts like “I must be perfect” or “I’m not good enough unless others approve of me” can lead to intense feelings such as anxiety, guilt, anger, or shame. REBT helps you explore these beliefs, understand where they come from, and replace them with more balanced, realistic ways of thinking.
This approach is especially helpful for issues like anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and shame. It’s a structured, compassionate process that gives you practical tools to manage difficult emotions, challenge limiting beliefs, and build emotional resilience.
REBT isn’t just about feeling better—it’s about thinking in ways that support your growth, confidence, and wellbeing. If you’re ready to make lasting change and let go of self-critical or shame-based thinking, REBT could be a powerful step forward.
Nature Therapy
Nature-Based Therapy, sometimes called Outdoor Psychotherapy, brings the healing power of the natural world into the therapeutic process. Instead of sitting in a traditional therapy room, sessions take place outdoors—whether that's walking through a park, sitting by a river, or spending time in a peaceful green space.
This approach combines the benefits of talking therapy with the calming, grounding effects of nature. Many people find it easier to open up while walking side by side, rather than face-to-face in a room. The natural environment can help reduce anxiety, lift mood, and bring a sense of perspective and connection.
Nature-Based Therapy is suitable for a wide range of issues including stress, low mood, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions. It can be especially helpful if you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed by modern life.
You don’t need to be “outdoorsy” or physically fit—sessions are tailored to your pace and comfort. The focus is on creating a safe, supportive space where you feel free to talk, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself, your surroundings, and what matters most to you.
If you’re drawn to nature and would like a different kind of therapeutic experience, this might be the right path for you.
Person Centred Therapy
Person-Centred Therapy is a gentle and respectful approach to counselling that places you at the centre of the process. Created by psychologist Carl Rogers, it’s based on the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change—when given the right environment.
In this type of therapy, the relationship between you and your therapist is key. You’re not told what to do or judged—instead, you’re listened to with empathy, acceptance, and genuine care. It’s a space where you can talk freely, explore your thoughts and emotions, and begin to understand yourself on a deeper level.
This approach is helpful for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes. It’s especially suited to people who want to feel heard, valued, and supported in becoming more in tune with who they really are.
Person-Centred Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about walking alongside you as you reconnect with your inner strengths and make meaningful choices that reflect your true self.
If you're looking for a compassionate space to explore what matters to you, this approach may be just what you need.
Which setting suits me best?
In-Person - Outdoor - Online
1.
In-Person
Psychotherapy
In-Person Therapy is the format most of us are familiar with, this is the one we see on tv and if we have been to therapy before it is most likely this is the format we have been to. I have a room in the Ballyfermot area of Dublin so very accessible from Palmerstown, Clondalkin, Lucan, Walkinstown, /bluebell, Inchicore etc. There is plenty of free parking which is always a plus.
My In-Person sessions are on Tuesday and Friday evenings, generally from 3pm to 8pm.
2.
Outdoor
Psychotherapy
Also known as 'Walk & Talk Therapy' or 'Ecotherapy' Outdoor Therapy is becoming much more popular and people are now choosing this format over the other two. The most common feedback is that having Psychotherapy outdoors in the fresh air normalises the experience a bit more people find it easier to talk and process some life experiences. My location for Outdoor is the Phoenix Park and this offers many different meeting points mainly depending on peoples mode of transport. Some of this work is done walking different routes around the park with some sessions sitting down either in the open or under trees in one of the forest areas.
3.
Online
Psychotherapy
Like other significant changes in 2020 therapy moved into the arena of online very quickly and with plenty of challenges. however, this has become a very familiar way of working for a lot of people and has opened up access to Psychotherapy no matter where you are. Common online work is with people in other countries or people who find it more comfortable with less travel or needing to stay where they are. Less popular now with the reamergence of In-Person but still available for those in need.
