Degree - Psychotherapy and Counselling B.A.(Hons) - Psychotherapy and Counselling Member of APCP (Association of Psychotherapists and Counsellors in Ireland About Michael Michael has completed 4 years of psychotherapy studies, through which he has undergone numerous hours of personal therapy as part of the training to understand how it is to be a client, and has extensive experience working with different individuals and presentations. Outside of psychotherapy, Michael is an accomplished swimming teacher with 7 years of experience and has a real passion for helping those in need. Michaels Approach I base my work on creating a strong therapeutic relationship and through applying certain skills individuals will learn to get in touch with their real selves, and develop more understanding of their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, motives, and purposes with the intention to become in essence their own therapist. Message to clients The challenges that bring us to therapy can sometimes overwhelm us, leading us to feel lost or as if we're fighting an uphill battle. Seeking therapy can often be a worthwhile step in learning to manage these issues, gaining a greater sense of control over one's self and life, experiencing more overall balance, and developing a more positive outlook. The journey within can often be very frightening but encountered within a safe space and with a little courage, it can be of true value.

My name is Dermot Heslin, and I am an accredited (IAHIP, ICP) person-centred psychotherapist. This means that I combine learning from different schools of psychotherapy to best meet the needs of each person. I work with a broad range of issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, childhood trauma, self-esteem and personal-development. My career began in software development, and I moved from there into the not-for-profit sector, where I supported people in developing leadership skills through volunteering. I became interested in counselling and psychotherapy, as I saw people's ability to grow during periods of intense challenge, provided they had the right supports. As well as my core training (Masters in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy), I have trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which is a body-based approach to working with trauma. I see clients in-person in my clinic in Dawson St, and also online. I understand that beginning therapy can be a daunting prospect, and I am happy to discuss any concerns by phone prior to making an appointment.

I am a psychotherapist with a private practice at 22 Upper Baggot Street Dublin and Frederick Street Ashbourne Co Meath. I work with couples, individuals and adolescents having received specific training in these areas. My background is in nursing with over 20 years experience working with the HSE. In 2004 I was awarded a B.A., Hons in Psychology and in 2007, M.Sc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at DCU.  From 2007 - 2017, I have worked as a couples therapist with Relationships Ireland (formerly MRCS) and am very experienced in working with all couple problems. In 2009 I trained as a adolescent counsellor with theTeen Between Service and have worked as a teen counsellor since seeing young people over 12yrs.  I am accredited as a psychotherapist and supervisor with the Irish  Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). For most people its a big decision  to come and see a therapist Knowing what to expect can make it a little easier. First Session: Our first meeting will be an exploratory session. This will allow you  to see what therapy is about and decide if it will be beneficial for you to continue.  I will take some personal details and discuss confidentiality in the counselling relationship. We will move on to look at your life and examine what has brought you to counselling at this time.  We will also look at what you want to achieve from therapy. At the end of this session it is your decision whether to proceed fur
