Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment Dublin 2

I’m a fully qualified, pre-accredited humanistic and integrative psychotherapist working in Dublin City and online. If you are struggling with issues related to relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, loneliness, neurodivergence, major life changes, low self-esteem, assertiveness, or stress, or would like to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, I provide a reliable, safe, confidential, client-centred environment, and the supportive, therapeutic relationship you may be looking for. I offer neurodivergent-affirmative therapy to adults who have been diagnosed early or late in life, are self-diagnosed, or are exploring the possibility and interested in learning more about themselves. I work with individuals, and draw on client-centred, psychodynamic, existential, and Gestalt therapies, among others.
