Psychotherapists Dublin City Centre

Psychotherapy:Psychotherapy is a longer term and more in-depth process than supportive counselling. It requires both client and therapist to engage at a much deeper level, to a relational depth. Within the therapeutic alliance, the client can expect to confront and understand many underlying issues that can be a part of, or indeed the cause of their overarching issues and problems. Psychotherapy requires a courageous curiosity, and needs to be facilitated by a professional practitioner, who has received the correct training to properly facilitate the process. Remedy Clinic houses professionally trained psychotherapists that practice numerous psychotherapeutic orientations. There are a number of different psychotherapeutic orientations, that utilize different methods to facilitate their respective process of therapy. Due to this, some clients will find some forms of therapy more suitable for them. In order to make an informed decision please refer to the short brief on each discipline, and then follow the link to the therapist page to find your therapist, by orientation / disciplineOur Therapists Our practicing therapists are qualified and accredited by (or are pre-accredited members of) the prominent accrediting bodies, such as the IACP (Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and the IAHIP (Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Therapy) among others. Please see each individual therapist’s profile for a more in-depth look at their practice, qualifications and the areas in which they specialise. We work in line with upcoming regulatory standards. 

All forms of psychological suffering are addressed. These include: Anxiety, panic-disorders, depression, chronic pain, bi-polar disorder bereavement, bulimia, obsessive compulsive disorder, stress, addiction, sexuality and paranoid schizophrenia. Treatment provides the time and space to speak about oneself beyond a diagnosis and to speak about what matters most in a non-judgemental and safe environment. Low rates are available for students, those who are in financial difficulty and in other certain circumstances. Therefore there are no fixed rates. All rates are negotiated in the first consultation.

Counselling is on a one to one basis and it differs from psychotherapy in duration. Counselling is short term, focusing on the clients current personal difficulties and sessions tend to be once a week for fifty minutes. Psychotherapy is for those who wish to understand their current distress through a deeper investigation. Therefore there is no way to predict how long a client may attend and sessions may continue for a few weeks, months or a number of years.

Psychoanalysis is a praxis which is based on the acceptance of the unconscious mind and an exploration of its manifestation in our daily lives. Together the analyst and the analysand explore how unconscious wishes and desires impact on our choices and decisions in life. Accepting the reality of the unconscious mind awakens our awareness that unconscious desire is the ultimate driving force in our lives.
