Pauline Dennigan is an INTEGRATIVE counsellor and psychotherapist in private practice in tralee. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) AND Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ipt) in supporting the mental health of adults (over 18 years).
I provide a safe and non-judgemental space where you will feel heard, understood, and respected. I am committed to helping you learn more about yourself and the many factors that may have influenced what you are currently experiencing. Collaboration is key; my focus is on working with you to live a better quality of life. My practice is culturally inclusive and LGBTQIA+ safe. Read more here...
THERAPY IS A VERY PERSONAL PROCESS THAT CAN INVOLVE PAST AND PRESENT CHALLENGES UNIQUE TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL. ONCE I GET TO KNOW YOU, I INTEGRATE ONE OR A COMBINATION OF APPROACHES THAT BEST SUIT YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS. READ MORE HERE...
The first session in-person or online involves a lot of information gathering including what brought you to therapy and the potential outcomes you would like to see happen. Sessions last up to 60 minutes. Feeling apprehensive or nervous coming to your first session is both common and perfectly normal.
Once you've made a booking, I will send you the intake paperwork that can be completed and submitted online before our first session.
If you feel like you are ready to commit to an initial session, go ahead and email me (Pauline) at info@pdpsychotherapy.ie stating a preferred day(s) and time(s). If you have read the FAQs and are still not sure, please call me on (Phone no. here) and leave a message if necessary.
I know that when you're struggling, it can be difficult to take the first steps towards seeking support.
I found it easier than I anticipated to open up about difficult events in my life because Pauline was naturally compassionate. She helped me to understand patterns of behaviour in my current relationships that were shaped by the past. I feel very hopeful for my life ahead knowing that I'm not stuck. I have already become more decisive.
