Online Services

Online Psychotherapy & Coaching provide an accessible and convenient alternative for clients located anywhere in the world. They are very safe and confidential, and the privacy aspect can be very important for many clients.
Research finds that online psychotherapy is found to be as effective as face-to-face psychotherapy across a range of therapeutic types and formats (Backhaus et al. 2012). The first meeting with your therapist can provoke some nerves and online therapy is no different.

1. Keep social distance
Promoting this distance service methodology represents advantages in different aspects. In addition to assisting in the recovery of emotional stability, online therapy also contributes to safety protocols in these times of health crisis.
2. Offers more flexibility
Very accessible and practical, clients have the opportunity to talk to their psychotherapist in the safety and comfort of their own homes. It is possible to schedule consultations or therapy sessions for the days and times that best suit your routine.
3. Reach the best professionals
Being able to count on distance psychotherapy services favours people who live in isolated regions, especially those who would not be able to travel to the places where face-to-face care is provided. With this, these clients still have the advantage of reaching the best professionals and getting the support they need in just one click.
4. Reduces travel costs
Given the crisis scenario that has lasted since the beginning of the pandemic, the option for this type of care is economically viable for both therapists and clients by reducing travel costs between different parts of the country.
5. Favors those who have limited mobility
Another relevant point of this modality of therapy is to provide flexible solutions for elderly people, especially those with chronic diseases or limitations related to locomotion. Many of these problems can progress to bouts of depression and anxiety, which require prompt support for recovery from these disorders.
6. Promotes quality of life
The possibility of doing therapy online is an excellent alternative both for inhabitants of small towns or the countryside and for those who live in large urban centres. People who live in urban areas can save time, money and even avoid wear and tear in traffic.
For those who live far away, this therapeutic method also has significant benefits. Among them, the accessibility to professionals from other cities stands out. Such factors directly influence the mental state and promote well-being and quality of life.

What Is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is sometimes referred to as talking therapy, a therapy session is rather like a meaningful chat. It provides a person with the opportunity to express their thoughts, difficult emotions and feelings in a safe non-judgmental space, and in doing so gives the person greater insight towards their own responses.

What is Coaching?

Life Coaching is a process where the ‘coach’ empowers and supports a client by helping them to set goals, achieve goals, and exceed these goals before setting out on their own unique journey, whether this is in their personal life, or professional life, or both.

About Me

My name is Eileen, and I am so glad that you have chosen to check out my website today. Let me tell you a little bit about myself:

My road to counselling and psychotherapy has been interesting. Having worked in a caring profession, nursing for over 30 years, I was always at my happiest when interacting with my patients & I have always been a people person.

Having experienced a rather challenging period in my personal life a few years ago and realized then that I needed to change my circumstances. I took early retirement from my Nursing Career in 2015. I trained as a professional Life Coach with the Irish Life Coach Institute. This proved to be a life-changing experience for me. I then trained as a Psychotherapist at PCI College in Dublin.

I am a fully accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (IACP). I always adhere to the IACP’s ethical guidelines. I engage in regular supervision to ensure the highest standard of professional practice to my clients.

I am very passionate about emotional health and my mission is to make a difference, one person at a time.
In addition, I am a lecturer to trainee counsellors at PCI College.
