About Me
As a psychotherapist, I offer both in-person and online therapy services in Dublin and Cavan, with a focus on creating a supportive, trauma-informed environment where all clients feel safe and valued. My approach is rooted in the understanding that trauma impacts the mind, body, and spirit—and healing begins with compassionate, non-judgmental support.
I work from a trauma-informed lens, meaning I prioritize your emotional safety and sense of control throughout our work together. I aim to create a space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, knowing that your feelings and needs are respected. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, or the pain of family estrangement, therapy with me is an opportunity to process these experiences with care and understanding.
In addition, I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming care, recognizing the unique challenges faced by those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I am committed to offering a space where your identity is celebrated and where you can be your authentic self, free from judgment.
My approach is integrative, drawing on various therapeutic techniques to best support you. The foundation of my work is always a deep, relational connection that fosters trust and helps you reconnect with your inner strength. I hold a BSc in Psychotherapy & Counselling from IICP College, along with specialized training in areas such as trauma, addiction recovery, eating disorders, ACEs, and suicide prevention.
Accessibility is a core value of my practice. I offer sliding scale fees because I believe therapy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me at rebeccatherapy421@gmail.com.
Experience

I am a psychotherapist with a BSc in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, with hands-on experience supporting clients through a wide range of challenges, including addiction, anxiety, trauma, depression, self-harm, body dysmorphia, OCD, gender identity, family dynamics, existential concerns, and eating disorders.
Alongside my degree, I have completed specialized training in areas such as Children First Training (Tusla), CBT and Depression, Suicide Prevention (A.S.I.S.T. Workshop), Stress Management, Eating Disorder Awareness, and Vicarious Traumatisation & Self-Care. My continued professional development also includes workshops on trauma recovery, adverse childhood experiences (ACE), and complex traumatic childhood losses.
I have had the privilege of serving as a Psychotherapist Intern at The Swan Family Support Organisation, where I work with clients from diverse mental health backgrounds, conducting consultations, developing personalized treatment plans, and providing one-to-one therapy. This role has further honed my skills in addressing a variety of emotional and psychological struggles.
In my private practice at Talk Therapy Dublin, I work with a diverse caseload of clients, offering therapy that’s rooted in a person-centred, collaborative approach. I integrate a range of therapeutic modalities, including CBT, Existential Therapy, DBT, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy, always through a trauma-informed lens.
I am deeply committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where every client feels heard, valued, and empowered. My approach is always empathetic, with a focus on building trust and providing the tools for clients to heal, grow, and regain a sense of control over their lives.
Approach
My therapeutic approach is centered around creating a collaborative, empathetic, and inclusive space where clients feel empowered to navigate their own healing journey. I believe that therapy should be a partnership, where your unique needs, goals, and experiences guide our work together. I tailor each session to meet you where you are, adjusting techniques and approaches based on your comfort, feedback, and progress.
I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Psychoeducation, Mindfulness Therapy, Pluralism, Gestalt Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). These diverse approaches allow me to craft a flexible and personalized treatment plan that evolves with your needs.
Through a trauma-informed, person-centered lens, I emphasize the importance of safety and trust in the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide a space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued—whether you’re dealing with addiction, anxiety, trauma, depression, gender identity concerns, or any other life challenges.
I believe in fostering growth and resilience by focusing on your strengths, while also helping you work through obstacles with compassion and care. I regularly incorporate mindfulness practices and relaxation techniques to help manage stress and promote emotional regulation. My ultimate aim is to support you in achieving your personal aspirations, at a pace that feels right for you, and in a way that honors your story.
