How does psychotherapy work?
All that is required is to speak as openly as possible about any thoughts, feelings, ideas and even dreams that come to your mind.
How long does it last?
It is a big step for anyone who decides to go to see a therapist. There is no quick fix to therapy. It is up to you to determine how long you would like to complete the work.
How often should I go?
In order to benefit from the therapy, once a week is preferable. Otherwise it is up to you to decide.
Therapy can be costly in general. How much is it going to cost me?
I offer reasonable rates of €60
What day do you work?
Tuesdays Only
A very nerve wrecking thing to do for anyone but from the start I felt totally at ease with John. He has a very calm and friendly demeanor that instantly settles you where you feel at ease and trust in opening up to him. I would well recommend seeing John to anyone of my friends. With time and conversation, I have discovered things about myself that I or any of my close friends could never of told me. After my sessions and after the whole course of sessions, I definitely feel a sense of peace and have answers to my questions on what I need to work on. I would advise you to see John, you will not regret it. Money well spent..
John helped me deal with a number of personal and interpersonal issues I had been having. I found I gained perspective and the ability to deal with them easily. John was very friendly and welcoming. I felt at ease immediately despite never having done anything of the sort before. I really valued my time there a lot and John was great and understanding.
I organised to meet with John to discuss stress management during professional exams. In a previous set of previous exams I got quite sick. I kept vomiting and could not eat any food for the week of the exams. After seeing a doctor I became aware that the vomiting was due to stress. I was very happy with my experience. I met John 8 times. In most sessions we had casual relaxed conversations. He put me at ease during the conversations as I was quite wary at the start. John picked up on things I said which I would never have picked up on. He told me why I got so stressed and methods to reduce this stress in the next set of exams. I would definitely recommend.
I went to see John because I was in a situation that I couldn't handle myself anymore. Suicidal thoughts, relationship problems, sexual and relationship attachment, break up and overall down moment. This was my first ever time to undergo a therapy and I just cannot think of a better person than John. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Each week I was just looking forward to seeing him again and started to feel better from session one. Incredibly professional and thanks to him and all he made me discover in our sessions, I am feeling a lot stronger and happier. Thanks so much John for all your help. I recommend him to anyone, no doubt. Very good. Very professional and confidential. I only dealt with John who has helped thorugh a very tough moment of my life. I felt so comfortable during my sessions with John that each week I was just looking forward to go again. Recommend to anyone.
I went to see John to speak about relationship problems. John listened to what I had to say and asked great probing questions. Every time I came out of a session I felt a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.This was the third counselor that I had seen over the past 3 years. I felt that I really gained a lot form these sessions.If I feel I need to speak with someone in the future it will definitely be John. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to talk. I chose this clinic because of location(Rathmines) and Johns availability(Evenings).He was not very expensive(€50) in comparison to some other clinics that I spoke with.
