I am a qualified Psychotherapist & Supervisor. I worked in Barnardos Post Adoption Service as a volunteer counsellor and have extended experience in working with birth mothers. I provide general support, short and long-term Counselling & Psychotherapy for birthmothers, birthfathers and birth siblings. Birth mothers The bonding process for the birth mother, who carried the baby inside her during pregnancy and experienced the miracle of birth with this baby, had not been previously acknowledged in society at large or by the professionals working in adoption and mental health. Adoption relinquishment involves a grief process not unlike other types of grief such as death or separation. Sometimes the secrecy, shame, guilt, self-blame, feelings of selfishness and loss leave scars on birth mothers' self-esteem. Birth parents may struggle as they re-evaluate their decisions later in life. Birth parents might feel incapable of making decisions, feel unlovable, or feel unable to handle having another child. At such moments, they need to realize that they made the decision at a particular time and place, perhaps as a vulnerable teenager without adult skills or resources.

Welcome.  Sometimes being human isn't easy!  We can often find ourselves wondering what it's all about.  Finding answers to our questions can be difficult and sometimes when we are unsure it is a welcome relief to share feelings and ideas.  Often this is a daunting prospect and this is why I always work at the clients pace.  As people it is inevitable that we meet stresses and strains on our life journey.  Exploring and having a better understanding can help us to move forward, can help us to be less hard on ourselves and others, can help us to mind ourselves better in the face of adversity either past or present.  If you feel stressed, anxious, confused, depressed, at a crossroads, lost, lack confidence or are in the grip of unresolved trauma, an initial assessment may help.  It's good to talk and feel confidentially heard without judgement.   Ita is fully qualified holding a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a fully accredited member of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.  Therapy takes place in well managed, safe environments located in Rathfarnham and Lower Abbey Street.
