Psychotherapy in Dublin

Welcome! I’m Dorine, a licensed psychotherapist based in Dublin. I am deeply committed to supporting people through some of life’s toughest journeys and helping them build a healthier, more fulfilling life. 

 

I trained in the United States as a marriage and family therapist and have extensive

experience supporting individuals and families affected by substance use disorder. I am now also an accredited psychotherapist with the IACP in Ireland and have completed specialised training in Eating disorders, EMDR, Safe and Sound protocol, and therapeutic play, ensuring a holistic approach to mental health care.

​

My work focuses on supporting individuals and families who are dealing with trauma, addiction, and eating disorders (or supporting someone who is dealing with these heavy issues). I also work with individuals and families experiencing anxiety, depression, major life changes, relationship difficulties, grief, people-pleasing patterns, and the effects of childhood trauma.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My fees are €80 for an individual session and €120 for a couple/family session. 
    I offer a free 15 minute introductory call for new clients.

  • This is completely individual. The goal in therapy is to help you to feel well enough to not need sessions as frequently over time. Usually, one would start with once-a-week sessions and reduce to once a month or once every six weeks as an emotional check-up once they have started to feel better.

  • Individual sessions are 50 minutes long.

    Couple and family sessions are one hour and fifteen minutes long.

  • This is a chance for you and me to meet and see if we are a good match. Not every therapist and client is a right fit, and that's okay. If we decide not to work together, I will do my best to refer you to someone who may be able to help.

  • I am on the registers of a couple of private insurances, which I hope will make therapy more accessible: Laya, Irish Life Health, and VHI

    (Please check your insurance policy to make sure it covers Psychologist/ Counsellor / Psychotherapist services before booking)

  •  Yes. I offer online, in-person, and hybrid sessions (a combination of online and in-person).
