I am a Life Coach and Psychotherapist in Ireland helping women over 30 overcome difficulties and thrive

𝐈’𝐦 𝐚 “𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭” 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧! I have been told that I need to 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 because I was passionate about my work. I’ve been told that 𝘐’𝘮 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 because I brought intimidating physical behaviour from a male colleague to my boss (let’s just say his fists were involved!)⁣ I have been told 𝘐’𝘮 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵 because I refused to allow the individuals I represented be treated unfairly. Would a man be told the same things? If you are reading this and nodding in agreement, I’m sorry that you’ve been treated so badly. I want you to know that 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦. You are not difficult, you are not too sensitive and you don’t need to remove emotion from anything you are doing. It can be hard to have our voices heard but 𝐈 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐈 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮. If you would like some support to deal with these experiences, I am here for you. DM me the word DIFFICULT and I will send you information on how we can work together. #workplacestress #women #yourenottoosensitive #psychotherapy #counselling #coachingireland #selflove

Unpopular opinion: you need to know your therapist’s / coach’s views and beliefs⁣ ⁣ The golden rule of therapy used to be that you should never self-disclose to clients, meaning that clients should know nothing about you. Although this is changing, 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.

One of the most transformative experiences in therapy is the strong interpersonal relationship built between the therapist and the client. This connection is the cornerstone of effective therapy and it transcends physical location and proximity. This is why I am a firm believer in online therapy. In a world where our lives are increasingly digital, online therapy offers convenience and accessibility, but more importantly, it proves that meaningful connections can be made, regardless of location. As a Psychotherapist and Life Coach, I have seen firsthand how powerful online sessions can be in fostering deep, therapeutic relationships. Here’s why online therapy works: Connection Over Proximity The essence of therapy lies in the trust and rapport between the therapist and the client. This connection is not bound by physical location. Through my online services, you will experience a safe, empathetic and supportive environment, no matter where you are. Accessibility and Convenience Online therapy removes barriers such as travel time, and scheduling conflicts. It opens up the possibility for more people to access the support they need, from the comfort of their own space. You can also sit in your pyjamas and be comfortable and cosy. Comfort and Privacy Many clients find that they can open up more easily in their own surroundings. Online therapy provides a level of comfort and privacy that can enhance the therapeutic process. To help you experience this firsthand, I offer a FREE consultation. This allows us to meet, discuss your needs and ensure that you feel a strong connection with me before making any commitment. It’s important that you feel comfortable and confident in your therapeutic journey. If you’ve been considering therapy but are unsure about online sessions, I encourage you to give it a try. The connection we build can be just as profound and impactful as in-person sessions. Let’s take the first step together. Book your FREE consultation today and discover the possibilities that online therapy can offer. #Onlinetherapy #Mentalhealth #Psychotherapy #Counseling #Therapeuticrelationship #Accesstocare #Personalgrowth #Wellbeing
