Personality Disorder Therapy Dublin South

I originally went to Renata due to relationship (attachment) issues and health anxiety in Winter 2021. I was initially expecting some help to get me through hard times, but it went far beyond my expectations. Over the course of 8 months (1 hour weekly sessions), Renata effectively triaged and treated the most severe issues (health anxiety) before using the same powerful tools to help me in life in general. Besides her deep knowledge, Renata is a brilliant listener, naturally fun and very easy to talk to. This makes for easy work even on daunting issues. I found it especially useful that she isn't afraid to give creative advice also, drawing on her deep experience in psychotherapy and even biology and philosophy to support more traditional techniques. Specifically we used CBT and schema tools. I'll always consider myself a work in progress, but I feel much less anxious, stronger and more at home in my own head than I have in years! Moreover, she has taught me the tools to maintain this and continually improve. It is honestly the best gift I could have given myself. I only wish I went years ago.

Counselling. Brenda is super smart, kind and empathetic. She knows just when to stretch me, when to sit back and wait for me to come to my own conclusion. I've really benefited from our sessions and taken away so many tools that I can apply in every aspect of my life. In particular, how to manage my anxiety and low self-esteem. Have recommended Brenda to a number of friends.

I went to see Bernie for about a year, and it most definitely changed how i see myself and my outlook on life for the better. I was made to feel so welcome, safe and understood from day one. I have been to therapy before, but for the first time ever I had been given the tools to cope with feelings of anxiety and depression, to really get to the bottom of why i may feel certain ways about myself and my life and deal with them. I would highly recommend Bernie, she is absolutely fantastic and has helped me more than i can say.
