What Therapy means to me?

Learn About Me

I am a Tivoli Institute graduate, fully qualified Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist offering a safe healing space to those who may feel deeply unhappy and are experiencing some of lifes difficulties. I abide but the Code of Ethics of I.A.H.I.P. (Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy) 

​

What is Humanistic and Integrative?

​

I believe that, as Humans we are all unique and through that we develop, respond and react in different ways to life experiences. I also believe that we all have the ability within ourselves to heal, however sometimes there is some extra support needed to encourage that ability to shine through or sometimes even find it. Working in a Humanistic manner I never lose sight of the human in my clients, taking into account the context of their whole life experiences from conception to the moment they step into the room with me. I feel that through the power of a safe, confidential and very boundaried relationship, this sets the solid foundation for the healing relationship to begin. 

​

The Integrative piece has 2 parts for me! 

Firstly as a therapist, I have integrated many different therapy tools in my Therapists Toolbox, ie. Psychodynamic, Gestalt, C.B.T., Body Work, Sand-Space to name a few. I truely believe the "One Size doesn't fit all" as we are all very unique and speacial in our own way so deserve our therapy to honour, respect and reflect that too.

​

Secondly, how any client presents to me in the room is how they are in the world outside. My hope for all of my clients, through exploring their unshared life experiences in a non-judgemental manner, is that they feel 

"seen, heard and validated". Through integrating this corrective emotional experience,  this enables them to to become the Resilient human beings they were destined to be.
