I’m a fully qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist and an accredited member of IACP. I am committed to providing a professional and caring service. People come to counselling to explore many different issues such as: depression, anxiety, addiction, personal development, mental health, bereavement, stress management and trauma. Counselling can help to explore issues in your life and bring about more clarity in a supportive and safe space. I provide a space free from judgment where clients can come to talk and work through their concerns. I understand the importance of building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship where clients can begin to heal.
Qualifications:
Experience:
These experiences have come to teach me that everyone needs support at some stage in their life and I want to be part of reducing the stigma around getting support for mental health and making it part of the everyday conversation.

"I contacted Sinead for therapy to help with Anxiety I was experiencing. From the first phone call to arrange an appointment and throughout all of our sessions she made me feel calm and at ease. Sinead helped me in a professional but friendly way which has made such a difference to my life."
"I would like to thank Sinead for the fantastic counselling service she provided. She helped me to see things clearly in my life, which will help me going forward."
"I attended Sinead for counselling for 11 months. The environment that Sinead provides for her sessions is calm and comfortable which is important to me as i suffer from vertigo. The colour in the room is calming and airy. Sinead is a professional and warm person who displays empathy with her expressions and has a very calming presence. She is an excellent listener. I would be relating an experince to her and she would reflect back to me somehing i had said months previously and I would be able to fit the pieces together in my head and understand my feelings to a much deeper level than ever before. I began to see patterns in my life that Sinead would guide me through. If there were times when I found it difficult to talk through the anxiety Sinead would do gentle relaxing techniques with me. I have been to counselling at other times in my life but i have never reached the level of understanding myself and how my mind works as much as I did with Sinead. I cannot recommend Sinead highly enough to anyone in need of counselling."
"Sinead is a kind, compassionate and understanding person who has helped me in unexplainable ways over the course of our work together. Not only does she put you completely at ease from the moment you meet but nothing you could ever say is too much for her to talk you through. She always helps you to reframe your thoughts and view things in a better light. Sinead is professional in all respects of the word but has a friendly manner that made our weekly sessions something I looked forward to. It was just like having a chat with your pal. I cannot recommend her enough. If you are going through a tough time, her kind, listening ear could be just what you need."
I am a fully qualified psychotherapist, having completed my Diploma and Masters studies in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy. I am also a pre-accredited member of the IACP.
I work with adults and adolescents (16+) to support them with overcoming the mental struggles they are experiencing.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches namely Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT).

“I attended counselling with Rhona for a couple of months to help me with anxiety and stress. She is so welcoming and makes you feel at ease. I felt like I was in a safe and supportive environment which made it even easier for me to speak out and speak my mind.
I often felt 10 ft tall by the time I left the session, couldn’t recommend her enough!”

"I attended Vincent over phone a few times in this pandemic I found the therapy work very helpful, understanding & benefical to me"
As a fully accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I have experience counselling with community based counselling services, at a residential rehabilitation centre and in private practice.
My philosophy of counselling is to a large extent influenced by Carl Rogers who maintained that each of us is a person of inherent worth. There is no one therapeutic model that suits everyone and effective counselling is, I believe, based on the strength of the relationship between the counsellor and the client. Working in an integrative way in a safe and compassionate space, I support my clients as they journey towards finding more peace and fulfilment in their lives and becoming who they were created to be. I have worked with a diverse range of issues including relationship conflicts, work related issues, stress and anxiety, trauma, loss, low esteem, clients seeking to overcome addictions and clients with current or previous criminal convictions

I'm an Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist. I'm also an Equine-assisted Learning Counsellor/Facilitator and artist. I combine these skill sets to create a very unique and creative psycho-therapeutic experience. I also have experience of working with groups from self-development with horses to addiction recovery aftercare programs.
I have worked with a variety of clients dealing with circumstances that are unique to their life experiences of anxiety, sadness, uncertainty, grief, loss, abandonment, addiction, trauma, co-dependency, coercion, sexuality, identity and spiritual separateness.
Meeting with new clients and deepening the therapeutic relationship is an enriching part of this work. Seeing people reclaim their lives, developing a more authentic sense of themselves and learning to respond to what they have experienced in the past and their present-day needs are the essence of why I am motivated to be a therapist.
I believe the healing power of relationship, connection, acceptance and unconditional positive regard helps people to work through what they are unsure about (pre-contemplation) and gain a greater understanding of their life experiences (contemplation) past and present.
During the counselling sessions, I collaboratively and creatively work with my clients, helping them explore their life challenges, strengths, limitations, and personal resources. Clients gain a new sense of themselves, connecting with what is important to them, achieving tasks, setting goals, and creating opportunities to meet their life differently.

“Counselling has helped me overcome challenges at work, Marina helped me see myself and helped put me in my world. I went from not being seen, afraid to stand-up for myself to recognising what my wants and needs are. Thank you, Marina, for helping me understand that I am worth seeing and how to stay the course”.
“I fought so hard against anxiety I did not want it; I could not even say I had anxiety, like I was failing. Marina helped me find peace with the worries I had. The creative work we did helped me understand why I had these feelings in the first place. I have tools now to connect with myself and pay attention. I listen to my whole body now not just my head and the thoughts that would spiral”.
Counselling is a collaborative effort between the client and therapist and sometimes parents (if the client is under 18). Counselling is not a 'one size fits all' process and so, your counsellor will tailor the therapy based on the client and your relationship. Your counsellor will work to develop a strong therapeutic relationship with you so that you can build trust and they will provide a non-judgemental safe space for you to work together. Our counsellors can use a mix of traditional and creative methods to enable you to work through problems and help you to learn new ways of responding to them. Our counsellors all frequently attend CPD courses and we all attend supervision regularly to ensure that we provide the best service possible.
Phone sessions are a great way to conveniently speak with your counsellor.
To talk with your counsellor over the phone, you will need to schedule a time with them and they will call you at the time of your session.
Video chat allow you to access counselling anywhere as long as you have internet access. This is very convenient for people as you can access therapy in the comfort of your own home.
To talk with your counsellor over video chat, you will need to schedule a time with them and log on using the zoom details that your counsellor will send you.
You must have internet connection and a webcam/camera on your phone, laptop or tablet to avail of this service.
This allows you to have a live text conversation with your counsellor. This way you can still enjoy the convenience and privacy of messaging but also enjoy a "live" interaction that allows instant response and feedback from your counsellor.
To have a live chat session, you will first need to schedule a time. At the scheduled time, you will log in using the zoom details that your counsellor will send you. Then you can start typing and chatting with your counsellor.
You must have internet connection to avail of this service.
Taking is a great way to connect with others. Talk therapy is a more traditional method of therapy. It can help clients to share their issues with a therapist and help them to make changes in their life. If talking is something that is difficult for you there are other tools we can use to help you work through your issues.
Sometimes talking can be difficult for people and it can is easier to use arts and crafts to illustrate what is going on for you. This can include painting, drawing, clay, stones, collages, poetry, music and more.
As children play is our first way of building relationships and connecting with others. It also helps us to express ourselves and our emotions. We use play in therapy to help adults and young people to reconnect with their inner emotional world.
Your resources can take the form of people you have in your life, skills you have or used to have or the way you view things and these are very important aspects of counselling. We can use these in the therapy to help you build on them and ensure you have support outside the therapy room. These can include sport, religion, a family member, a good friend, a pet or even a podcast you listen to.
Movies, podcasts, music, books and poetry can all be ways of helping us express ourselves and understand our thoughts and behaviours. We can use media in and out of the therapy room to help process thoughts and feelings.
Mindfulness exercises such as mindful breathing and meditation can help reduce stress and anxiety. Mindfulness is like a muscle, the more you practice the better you become. It can help you to understand the link between your thoughts, emotions, behaviour and physiology. It can also help you to cultivate gratitude and compassion for yourself and others.
Communication skills are essential for our relationships with others. They can be an important part of how people treat you. We can work together to build these skills and practice in the session before you try them out yourself.
Homework can be a way of practising new skills and should complement the therapy. We can work together to set realistic tasks to help you achieve your goals for therapy. Homework is always set together and there is no obligation to complete it.
In therapy we can work to explore how our emotions manifest in the body. This can be useful as sometimes you may not have the words for how you are feeling but you can notice it in the body.
Do you have a current dilemma or difficulty that you can identify and want to overcome? Then this type of therapy might be useful for you. Solution focused therapy tends to focus on the present issues and desired outcome and less on the past.
In therapy, sometimes it can be useful to reconnect with the younger you to help you in the present. We can work together to process unresolved issues from childhood and help you to gain more clarity.
People attend counselling for a number of reasons: Depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship issues, family issues, self-esteem issues, trauma, abuse and many more. We can provide a confidential and non-judgmental space to explore these issues. Through counselling, we can work together to help you recover motivation, perspective and gain coping skills.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a type of Psychotherapy that explores thoughts, feelings and behaviours. We work with clients to challenge problematic thought patterns and/or patterns of behaviour.
Adolescence is a difficult time in a young persons life.

Adolescence is a difficult time in a young persons life. Today's teens not only have to deal with body image issues, the loss of the child self and finding their place in society, they also have to deal with newer issues such as social media, online bullying, sexting, parent separation and increased choice. These can all evoke anxiety and depression. We work with teens and their parents to build communication, we understand the importance of the teen-parent relationship and how it is vital for the well-being of a teenager and so we ask that parents work with us to better understand the issue and help your teen. So in addition to working with the teen one-to-one, we also work with the parents.

Online counselling is the provision of counselling through the internet. Whilst traditional face-to-face therapy can help bring about positive change in your life, it is not always possible for people to get to a counsellors office and so online or phone therapy could be the answer. We provide counselling through video call, online chat or phone which can be ideal for people who are: travelling, not based in Ireland or are unable to attend face to face therapy due to other issues such as agoraphobia or social phobia or due to disability. It also suits a lot of people to attend therapy from the comfort of their own homes. Studies show that remote therapy is just as effective as face-to-face. Confidentiality is key and so the technology we use ensures that your data and our therapeutic work is kept confidential. Similar to face-to-face therapy you will be required to sign a client agreement form and provide some personal details to ensure your safety. All personal information is stored in accordance with GDPR.
Relationships can be challenging. We work with couples to help them through difficult times. We can work with you to improve your communication and help each person within the couple to feel heard. We can help by teaching you skills like conflict management. We can also work with you to help you to repair your relationship after an affair.
