When a person realises he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy.
It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me"

About therapy...
In a warm, non-judgemental and empathetic manner Audrey supports her clients in the exploration of their life story or issue. If a person is accepted positively and unconditionally for how they are, they grow through the process of valuing themselves via their lived experiences and the natural will towards betterment. This inner growth results in less reliance on external values, opinions, and beliefs leading to improvement of their self-esteem, self-acceptance and interpersonal-relationships.
Exploring family values, beliefs and behaviour patterns can open a space for the client to rewrite and create their future story. Supporting the Inner Child to tell their story, be it from the cradle, childhood, adolescence, or young adulthood, through the process of unravelling the dysfunction from within and understanding how the client became who they are now, empowers them to engage with the world in a more balanced way.
People display different types of behaviours in their attempts at dealing with the pain and frustration generated by their unsatisfying relationships. Audrey can facilitate with establishing what her client wants, questioning what they are doing to get what they want, evaluating together whether these wants are realistic and achievable, and then helping her clients make a plan to achieve them.
Sessions are custom made to suit each individual's needs, no one approach will suit all clients so an integration of many therapeutic approaches is used.

Phone & On-line Therapy
In this day and age we can live busy lives or find it difficult to physically get to a therapy centre, so the option of having your therapy sessions via a phone call or online might appeal to you? Research has proved that the benefit of therapy is not lost by not being physically present in a face to face session.

Walk and Talk therapy is the same as individual Face to Face therapy except it is conducted in the outdoors among nature.

Being among nature has been proved beneficial for positive mental well being.
A suitable park in the surroundings of Naas, Co. Kildare will be used. Wear appropriate footwear and rain-gear.
