Sandymount Psychotherapy provides you with a safe, confidential space where you can explore, heal and grow. A psychology and psychotherapy service designed to help you resolve immediate issues, but also to help you further a process of personal development using the best and most up to date practices. I use evidence based treatment for people who experience a range of mental health difficulties utilising psychoanalytic techniques, Cognitive
Behavioral
Therapy techniques and mindfulness based strategies. I am a registered psychologist, with an MSc in Psychotherapy from the UCD School of Medicine, an MA in Addiction Studies and over ten years formal training within the field of mental health. I am a Registered Practitioner member of the Association for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in Ireland. No two people are alike, so I tailor my approach to your specific needs.
Through speaking in a specific way, we can accomplish learning and changes which will last a lifetime. I love working with individuals who are curious, motivated to change and no longer wish to suffer their symptom.
I am passionate about helping you to feel more at ease with yourself.
This is the fundamental aim of the work and all good things stem from this; overcoming fears, anxiety, relationship problems, finding your place and position in the world. Together we will restore or develop an inner confidence which can only come from knowing, accepting and liking who you are.
Fantastic, warm and friendly attitude and made me feel very relaxed. Easy to talk to and an impressive way of approaching complex issues. Would highly recommend Karina.
Met with Karina for a session recently whilst over in Dublin and was really impressed by her professionalism and friendliness. It was great to speak with someone who's clearly very qualified, but at the same time is so very caring, patient and understanding.
My treatment at the Sandymount clinic was extremely helpful in dealing with my problems that prompted my attendance there. When my GP suggested that I attend for Psychotherapy, I was somewhat apprehensive. Karina's expertise, knowledge and compassion eased my apprehension very quickly. Karina was extremely warm and professional and was a tremendous help to me. Going to Karina was one of the best things I have ever done for myself and I simply cannot recommend her highly enough.
One on one therapy I found Sandymount Psychotherapy an incredible service. I needed some support in understanding my current challenges and why I always seemed to stop myself from facing what I needed. My therapist, Karina, was incredible and allowed me understand my behaviour and how to evolve, moving forward rather than backwards.
Karina was really approachable and supportive. I found the sessions to be so useful in helping me overcome long standing issues. This has benefited my work and home life immensely.
I was very happy with the treatment and results. I found this service helpful, easy to use and enjoyable experience in a good open confidential environment. The therapist was very professionak easy to talk to and receptive to me.
