Daniel Freyne
Integrative Psychotherapist in Cork City & Bandon | MIAHIP
A space to understand what’s going on — without having to have it all figured out first.
There are times when life can feel overwhelming, confusing or simply difficult to make sense of.You might be experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, the effects of difficult or traumatic experiences, or simply feel stuck and unsure of what needs to change.You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before coming to therapy.Therapy can offer a confidential and supportive space to slow things down, explore what you’re experiencing, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that may be affecting your life.How I can helpI work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including:* Anxiety and stress
* Trauma and difficult life experiences
* Relationship difficulties
* Low self-worth and self-esteem
* Life transitions and major changes
* Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected
* Addiction and recovery
* Difficulties relating to work, identity and life directionEvery person’s experience is different, so therapy is not about applying a one-size-fits-all solution.
My approachI am an IAHIP-accredited Integrative Psychotherapist (MIAHIP).My approach draws from Person-Centred, Gestalt and Psychodynamic perspectives, including Jungian principles. This allows us to consider both what you are experiencing in the present and the experiences, relationships and patterns that may have shaped how you understand yourself and the world around you.At the heart of my work is the belief that therapy is a collaborative process.You don’t have to arrive with all the answers. We can work together to understand what is happening and what you would like to be different.A little about meI have over four years’ experience working clinically with adults presenting with a broad range of difficulties, including anxiety, trauma, addiction, dual diagnosis and relationship difficulties.My experience includes individual psychotherapy and counselling, group work, psychoeducation, family support and multidisciplinary working within a residential treatment setting.I work in private practice, providing therapy to adults in a confidential and supportive environment.Sessions & Fees€70 per 55-minute sessionSessions are available in person in Cork or online for adults based in the Republic of Ireland.Taking the first stepChoosing to contact a therapist can feel like a big step, particularly if you’ve never had therapy before.You don’t need to make any decisions before getting in touch.I’m happy to have an initial conversation, answer any questions you may have and help you decide whether working together feels right for you.
