Crossroads Counselling Centre |
My Practice is humanistic and integrative based. I practice in a humanistic way, using creative therapies, psychoanalytics, psychotherapy, CBT, Gesalt,Emotional Focused Therapy and others depending on the needs of the client. I believe in using a person-centred way of working to begin with and then deciding – with the client – the best form of therapy to use so it is tailored to the client. The issues I work with include anxiety, stress, panic disorders, depression, relationship difficulties, loss and bereavement, low self-esteem, emotional issues and work related difficulties.

IACP Membership |
I work to the Humanistic and Integrative tradition in psychotherapy. The humanistic approach values each of us as a unique human being with the freedom and responsibility to shape our own lives. ‘Integrative’ refers to the practice of drawing from more than one tradition or body of theory in psychotherapy in the interest of best meeting the client’s needs.
I am a Accredited member of IACP, The Irish Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists and adhere to its standards and strict code of ethics. |
How I Work |
Within my Practice, I strive to help individuals to work through any physical, emotional, mental or spiritual matters. I am client-centred and believe in the uniqueness of each person. I specialize in Humanistic and Integrative Therapy.
|
Key Concepts |
My work is based on awareness, self-acceptance, being real, safety, responsibility, confidentiality, ethics & the law and identifying patterns. I have written a blog post on these concepts which you can read here.

Experience:
At Crossroads Counselling Centre, I offer individual therapy to adults, for both short-term counselling or long-term psychotherapy. I have experience in working therapeutically with depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, bereavement, trauma, attachment and loss, adoption, inter-familial effects of alcoholism, sexual identity and the effects of sexual assault. I have a particular interest in attachment and how our early attachments affect our adult relationships. Other experience: With a background in second-level education, I have also worked with both teenagers and adults who are returning to education after periods of unemployment. I have seen how low periods in a person’s life impacts their mental health, but also how this can be turned around. Working from a Growth Mindset approach in this capacity, I have seen how our thought process can be altered to effect change in our lives. |
Sue Whyte
Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapist BA, PGDipEd, Professional Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling Senior Trainee Therapist : Offers Low Cost Counselling Services Currently studying towards MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling Philosophy: In my practice, I work from a client-centred or humanistic approach, incorporating differing therapies and methods depending on my client’s needs such as Gestalt, psychoanalytics, psychotherapy, art and creative therapies, mindfulness and dreamwork, decided upon in consultation with my client. I believe that the body holds our emotions and thus work with my client to understand and listen to what their body is telling them. Integral to my practice is the therapeutic alliance or relationship between client and therapist; the building of trust and providing a safe space are essential in this process. As a therapist, and a person, I believe that we can all learn to dance in the rain. Through facilitating greater self-awareness and acceptance, I strive to help every client comes to terms with the past, be mindful of the present and look forward to the future. “I am not what has happened to me; I am what I choose to become.”

Aisling Cox Integrated Energy/ Reiki Therapist & Angel Card Reader REIKI/ Integrated Energy Healing is a natural healing technique derived in Japan which uses universal energy for healing. A typical treatment involves the practitioner scanning the body using energy and then continues with the placing of hands on or above the client in various non invasive positions. During this sequence energy is transmitted through vibrations which in turn clears blockages and promotes the body’s own natural healing ability. Reiki accesses and works on every level of the client and can improve motivation, concentration, increase energy levels, relieve stress, pain, depression and anxiety, it can help you on your souls journey and self healing. Reiki is for all ages and is ideal for kids who have trouble sleeping or concentrating, sitting exams, anxiety etc. An ANGEL CARD READING is a way of connecting with our Angels to receive divine messages, guidance and healing through the use of Angel Cards as a communication tool. In a general reading the Angels will pass on messages that are appropriate for you in your life right now as well what they feel is beneficial regarding your past and/or future. You may also ask direct questions to your Angels so whether you are trying to make a decision, need more information about a situation, need direction or would simply like to meet and connect with your Angels then an Angel Card Reading is for you. 
Luba O'Neill
HypnoBirthing is a method and a skill of achieving calm and comfortable birth. It’s only natural that you are seeking a birthing which is safe, satisfying and naturally comfortable for you and your baby. HypnoBirthing is designed to enhance these feelings of uniqueness and empowerment, helping you to reach an awareness of your body as the most perfect instrument of nature – the vehicle through which the baby will miraculously develop and enter into this world. During my classes, you come to understand that when the mind is free of stress and fear that cause the body to respond with pain, nature is free to guide birth in the same well-designed manner that it does for all other normal physiological functions. About the course: In my classes, you will learn how to let go of lingering fears, release anxieties, deeply relax and embrace your natural birthing instincts. You will learn everything you need to know to achieve easier, safer and more calm and comfortable birth. You will learn breathing and relaxation techniques that will serve you during birthing. These techniques will help to manage surges (contractions) during labour and to be sufficiently relaxed to eliminate Fear-Tension-Pain syndrome. For more information please feel free to contact me on this email or 0867852384. luba@hypno-birthing.ie Biography Luba O’Neill I was working in a multinational company for 15 years being part of Finance Project Management team and as a Trainer. My job opened great opportunities to advance my training skills. In 2014, I was blessed to become pregnant with my son. During my pregnancy, I was very lucky to be introduced to HypnoBirthing. I have two children an 18-year-old boy and a 2-year-old boy. The births were very different. The first birth was stressful and traumatic. On my second pregnancy, I made a decision that I would like the birth to be calm and relaxed. I attended HypnoBirthing classes and practiced the techniques and the skills and when the time came for me to give birth, everything unfolded for my husband and I as we had imagined and dreamed of! It was natural, calm, relaxed, comfortable and totally self-led birth without pain relief or any sort of intervention. My own birthing journey deeply inspired me and I made a decision to become HypnoBirthing Instructor. In April following year opportunity presented itself and Marie Mongan HypnoBirthing method came to Dublin. I got the qualification and teach HypnoBirthing since. My aim is to help one woman at a time and to walk the journey with her and her partner. The journey that starts in a place of fear and concern to a place of relaxed, calm and totally prepared mind and body. Being a HypnoBirthing Mum myself, I offer my own birthing story and being a qualified Instructor I teach physiology, breathing techniques and meditation to change the mindset. REACH OUT TODAY If you wish to avail of our services, please feel free to contact the Crossroads Counselling Centre and we can arrange a time to meet. I have a great understanding of how difficult this first step can be, so please do not worry about reaching out. |
