Psychotherapy

Trish works mostly in a brief-orientated way. This stems from the conviction that people have the resources and capacity within themselves to instigate and maintain whatever changes they need to implement in their lives. Her aim is to help them get rid of any blocks that may be in the way and to find new and more liberating ways of seeing themselves and their lives.Trish works with individuals, couples and larger groups – often the work starts with an individual and other people may be invited in to the sessions as the client sees fit. Sessions are an hour long, confidential (except where there is a risk to the life of the client or others), and further sessions are planned in conjunction with the client(s).

The issues worked with cover the full range of life problems from:

  • stress
  • relationship difficulties
  • depression
  • eating/alcohol/self-harm disorders

Therapy sessions are held in Trish’s rooms off Dartry Rd. in Dublin 6, close to the Milltown Luas stop.

Couples Counselling

  • Do you spend too much time in conflict?
  • Has an affair damaged your relationship?
  • Are you arguing about money?
  • Has the transition to parenthood floored you?
  • Have you simply lost interest in each other?
  • Is your sex life unsatisfying?
  • Is your partner spending hours on the internet and ignoring you?

Many of these problems can seem insurmountable in a relationship but they can be addressed through counselling and many people go on to have happy and fulfilling relationships.

Trish works with couples in individual and/or joint sessions according to their specific needs.
There is no set number of sessions but the aim is to reach resolution in as brief at time as possible. The average course for couples in crisis in 6-8 sessions but this varies hugely.
