It's okay not to have clear answers.
Sometimes the first step in therapy begins with this very phrase:
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm just tired of living like this."

You don't have to formulate a request or describe the problem "correctly."
At the beginning, it's enough to have an inner feeling that something is wrong:
as if there are too many emotions or, conversely, you feel nothing.
as if your body is signalling something, but you have no words to describe it.
as if life is happening, but you are on the sidelines.

At the first consultation, together we will:

• get an initial picture — without pressure or rush
• try to identify points of tension or exhaustion
• check whether there are currently resources available for therapy
• determine where it is safe to start and at what pace to move forward
• see if you feel confident about the format and me

Sometimes the first meeting already brings relief — when a language appears for what is inside.
Sometimes it takes time.
This is not about 'finding the problem' — it is about exploring yourself in the presence of another person who is there for you professionally and personally.

If you feel that the time has come to seek help, you can start even without putting it into words.
'I am struggling, and I want to understand myself' — that is enough to get started.

Consultations take place online (video conference) or offline in Dublin, depending on your availability and request.

Online
We meet on Messenger or Google Meet.
This format is suitable if you live in Ireland, another country, travel frequently, or feel more comfortable at home.
Online consultations are just as effective as offline ones, provided you have a stable connection and a private space.

Offline in Dublin
Individual meetings in a cosy therapy room.
This option is suitable if physical presence is important to you, as is the atmosphere of a safe space where it is easier to concentrate and feel supported in contact.

What is important for any format
• Stable internet connection / ability to arrive on time
• Privacy and quiet during the meeting
• Comfort: water, blanket, comfortable clothing, notifications turned off
• The ability to stay for a few minutes after the session without rushing

We agree on the format together so that it is comfortable, safe, and supports your process.
If necessary, the format can be changed — online ↔ offline — if it corresponds to the current stage of work.

There is no single number.
The duration of therapy depends on the issue, your condition, history, resources, and readiness for change.

Usually, you can use the following as a guide:

• 1–3 sessions — initial diagnosis of the issue, stabilisation, forming a direction for the work
• 8–12 sessions — comprehensive work on a specific issue (emotions, relationships, boundaries, emigration crises, self-esteem)
• Long-term therapy — deep processes: trauma, recurring scenarios, complex relationships with oneself, PTSD, loss, chronic exhaustion

The result is not to "cure everything".
The result is gradual movement.
Less chaos, more clarity.
Less loneliness inside, more contact with yourself.
Not perfect, but real and supportive.

We move at your pace.
If necessary, you can take breaks, change the frequency of meetings, or return to work when you feel ready.

The first changes are often visible after just a few sessions — in your breathing, in your sleep, in your ability to talk about yourself more honestly, in the feeling that "I am not alone in this".

Therapy is a collaboration.
And here, it is not the number of sessions that matters, but whether you feel heard, safe, and in a process that makes sense for you.

No special preparation is required.
All you need is your presence and a desire to understand yourself a little better.
However, there are a few things that can make the meeting more comfortable:

• Space and silence. Choose a place where no one will disturb you.
• Technical aspects (for online sessions). Check your internet connection, sound, and headphones.
• Physical support. Water, a blanket, comfortable clothing — anything that will make you feel safe.
• Gentle intention. You can mentally formulate what brings you here now. Even if it sounds like "I don't know what's wrong with me" — that's enough.
• No rush. Plan a few minutes after the session to be with yourself before returning to your affairs.

You don't need to come with a "list of problems" or formulate your request correctly.
Together, we will see where to start, what pace to move at, and whether the format and our contact suit you.

The first step is to try.
And give yourself a chance for support.

The duration depends on the format of work that we choose together:
• 50 minutes — standard individual sessionFor regular therapy, support during difficult periods, burnout prevention, and emotional stabilisation.
• 90 minutes — in-depth sessionFor working with traumatic experiences, crisis situations, integrating strong feelings, or when more time is needed for safety, regulation, and smooth completion.
Why this duration?50 minutes — the international standard for psychotherapy, sufficient to touch on important issues and end the session in a regulated state.90 minutes — an extended format for deeper work, when more space is needed to explore experiences, stabilise and integrate.Both formats are designed to make the process safe, structured and effective.
Timing and punctualityThe consultation always begins and ends at the same fixed time.This time is entirely yours, and you can use it as you see fit.
If you are late, I will wait until the end of the booked time.The consultation will last until the end of the selected hour, i.e. it will be reduced by the amount of time you are late. This is important to maintain the structure of the process, respect your time and the schedules of other clients.

Yes. You can reschedule or cancel a session without losing your payment if you notify me at least 48 hours before the booked time. This allows me to offer the slot to another client and maintain my workflow.
If the cancellation or rescheduling occurs less than 48 hours before the meeting, the payment will be retained in full, as the time was reserved specifically for you.
This condition is part of my professional responsibility and compliance with the structure.It is also specified in the official contract, which is agreed upon before the start of cooperation.

Therapeutic session — 50 minutes — €60
In-depth therapeutic session — 90 minutes — €90

My work complies with professional standards of psychotherapy in Ireland and is based on official ethical principles (IACP). The 50-minute format is suitable for regular support, prevention of emotional exhaustion and guidance through life changes. The 90-minute format is chosen by clients who want more space for in-depth work, trauma work, emotional regulation, crisis issues or the integration of complex experiences.

The cost reflects not only the time, but also the quality of the process: preparation for the session, professional training, supervision, administrative support, creation of an individual therapeutic plan, international confidentiality standards, and continuous professional development.

Prices are in line with the average cost of private psychotherapy in Ireland (from €60 to €120 per session with clinically trained specialists).

Therapy is an investment in resilience, emotional health, and the ability to return to oneself.
Payment can be made per visit or on a subscription basis. Invoices are provided.

I work with adult clients aged 18 and over, providing individual therapeutic support and in-depth work.

Consultations with adolescents under the age of 18 are only possible if at least one of their parents or legal guardians is also undergoing therapy with me at the same time.
This is important because the emotional state of a teenager is directly related to the family context, relationship dynamics, and level of support at home.

Psychotherapy for a teenager is often impossible without changes in the system in which they live. Therefore, working with adults helps to:
• create a safer atmosphere;
• reduce tension in the family system;
• learn to respond differently to difficult situations;
• improve mutual understanding and communication;
• provide stable support in the child's daily life.

This approach is consistent with the principles of systemic and integrative therapy and helps to avoid situations where the responsibility for improvement is placed solely on the adolescent.

Signs of change do not always come abruptly. More often than not, they come quietly, gradually, in small ways.
You may notice that:

• you react more calmly in situations where you used to be overwhelmed by emotions
• it becomes easier to say "no" without feeling guilty
• a sense of inner support returns, as if you have something to lean on
• there is more clarity and less chaos in your thoughts
• internal conflicts become clearer — and no longer so frightening
• in relationships — a little more self-respect and less self-blame
• resources accumulate: sleep, concentration, breathing, and rest begin to recover
• An inner permission to live emerges: to notice the pleasant, to plan, to desire.

Sometimes, a sign of progress is, on the contrary, an exacerbation — when you begin to notice what you did not allow yourself to see before. This is part of the process. We do not increase the pain; we give it form and a place so that something can be done with it.

Psychotherapy helps when:
• you feel heard and in a safe space
• there is a sense of cooperation — as if we are moving as a team
• you begin to better understand your needs and boundaries
• you have a choice where before there was only an automatic scenario
• you become a little kinder to yourself

The result is not a perfect life without pain.
The result is more inner freedom and the ability to experience what is happening to you differently.
