What my clients say….

  • "My GP referred me to Dearbhaill when I was struggling during perimenopause. At the time, my moods were unpredictable, my anxiety had increased, and I often felt overwhelmed and exhausted. From the first session, She was understanding and I instantly felt comfortable talking about what was going on for me. For the first time in a long while, I felt listened to and reassured that what I was experiencing was valid. Dearbhaill helped me make sense of the changes I was experiencing and supported me in finding ways to care for myself during a confusing and unsettling time. After only a few sessions, I started to feel more like myself again. I feel calmer now, and more accepting of the changes happening in my life. I'm better equipped to manage the ups and downs that come with this stage because I have tools and resources now to help me. I’m so glad my GP suggested I speak with Dearbhaill. Therapy has been an incredibly supportive part of navigating this transition".

  • "Before starting therapy, my anxiety had become a constant background noise in my life. My mind was always racing and I found myself worrying about things long before they happened. It was exhausting. Working with Dearbhaill helped me understand my anxiety in a way I never had before. She created a space for me where I felt comfortable talking. Over time, I began to feel more in control of my thoughts and less overwhelmed by them. I learned practical ways to manage anxious moments. Things that once felt huge and unmanageable now feel much less scary. I'm calmer, more confident, and better able to cope when anxiety shows up".

  • "When I first came to see Dearbhaill, I was completely overwhelmed. Everything in my life seemed to be piling up and I couldn’t see a clear way forward. I was stuck in my thoughts and constantly second-guessing myself. From the very first session, I felt safe and understood. Dearbhaill helped me slow down and make sense of what I was feeling. She helped me untangle things that had felt impossible to understand on my own. Over time, I began to see things differently. I started to feel more confident in my decisions, and less weighed down by the constant noise in my mind. I learned practical ways to manage overwhelm and began trusting myself again. What I appreciated most was that I never felt judged or rushed or stupid for feeling a certain way. The therapy room felt safe, supportive and it allowed me to be honest about things I had never really spoken about before. I came to therapy feeling stuck and overwhelmed but now I feel stronger, and more hopeful".

  • "I booked three clarity sessions with Dearbhaill because I felt unsure about an important decision in my life. I was going around in circles, and I just couldn’t seem to find any clear direction. The sessions were more helpful than I expected. Dearbhaill asked gentle but insightful questions that helped me see my situation from a different perspective. By the end of the three sessions, I felt much clearer about what mattered to me and what my next steps might be. It was the structured and supportive conversations that helped me reconnect with the values that were important to me. I would highly recommend Dearbhaill's clarity sessions if you’re feeling stuck or you have a big life decision weighing on your mind. I knew I didn't want long term therapy so these sessions were perfect. Thanks so much Dearbhaill".

  • "Dearbhaill, I can't thank you enough. You helped me through a very painful and difficult time. I couldn't see a light at the end of the tunnel. I never had therapy before and wasn't sure what to expect but from the second you brought me into your room I felt safe. Good luck with your new practice".
