Psychotherapy and Counselling Services in Ireland

At Harte Essence Psychotherapy, I provide confidential, one-to-one therapy and counselling services to adults across Ireland. Therapy is a space where you can slow down, reflect, and find clarity.

Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, or simply a deeper understanding of yourself, psychotherapy offers the opportunity to heal, grow, and live with more confidence and balance.

Areas of Support

I work with a wide range of issues, including:

  • Anxiety & Stress Management – reduce overwhelm and build practical coping skills.
  • Depression & Low Mood – explore underlying causes and rediscover motivation and hope.
  • Grief & Loss Counselling – process bereavement, separation, or major life changes with compassion.
  • Trauma Therapy – gently work through past events that continue to impact the present.
  • Couples Counselling – improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen connection.
  • Relationship Counselling – explore patterns, boundaries, and self-worth within relationships.
  • Personal Growth & Self-Development – reflect on meaning, identity, purpose, and future direction.

My Approach to Therapy

I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” therapy. Each person brings their own story, needs, and goals. That’s why my approach is integrative — meaning I draw from different therapeutic modalities depending on what suits you best.

Some of the modalities I work with include:

  • Person-Centred Therapy – building a relationship of empathy and acceptance, where you can explore freely.
  • Existential Therapy – exploring themes such as choice, freedom, meaning, and responsibility.
  • Psychosynthesis – looking at the whole self, including both struggles and inner potential, to support growth and integration.
  • Mindfulness & Somatic Awareness – practical tools to manage stress and reconnect with the present moment.

Philosophically, I believe each person carries within them the capacity for change and healing. Therapy isn't about being “fixed” by someone else — it is about being supported to uncover your strength, wisdom, and resilience. Ultimately, all the qualities that lie in the Self.
