Welcome to South Dublin Psychotherapy, offering a confidential non-judgemental counselling /psychotherapy service in a safe environment. I aim to provide a space for people to feel accepted, valued and respected as individuals.
South Dublin Psychotherapy is located at Sandyford Office Park - easily accessible on foot from Sandyford Industrial Estate, and from many other areas by Luas (located opposite Sandyford Luas stop). There is also parking available within the office park.
Online counselling and psychotherapy sessions are also available.
My name is Geraldine Dunne and I graduated from Dublin City University in 2001 with a BA (Hons) in Psychology. Since 2001 I have supported people who have acquired a chronic health condition, and their families. The effects of such a diagnosis can impact on self-esteem, personal and family relationships, employment status and social life. I have worked extensively with individuals on issues such as managing stress, chronic pain, anger, depression and anxiety; as well as supporting people through relationship and family difficulties, significant life changes, loneliness, bereavement and loss.
In 2012 I completed an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy, for which I was awarded First Class Honours. As part of my masters studies I carried out some research on the Psychological Experiences of Losing Weight.
My counselling approach is person-centred, and I am also certified in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness. In my work I use my knowledge of these approaches to pass on skills to my clients to enable them to better manage their own daily lives. My passion is for empowering people to overcome the obstacles and challenges that life presents and to find their own personal way of managing stress so they can live the life they choose to their fullest potential.
I am a fully accredited member of the Association of Professional Counsellors and Psychotherapists and I am fully insured.
