Psychotherapy and counselling in West Cork and online
Sometimes life can feel tangled, and it's hard to know what to do with it.
Maybe you're worried about something, or holding on to something you can't quite let go of. Maybe you keep finding yourself back in the same old stories, holding everything together for everyone else, with that uncomfortable edge telling you something needs to shift.
Or maybe something has happened. A loss, a diagnosis, a relationship ending, a change you didn't choose. Or there's no one thing at all, just a feeling that's been sitting with you for a while and won't settle.
Whatever it is, you don't have to work it out on your own.
Therapy is a space we make together. Somewhere you can say things out loud and be properly heard, not just told "shur it'll be grand." We look at what's going on with curiosity and care, at a pace that suits you. It's a steady place to start from, and when you're ready, a place to look a little deeper.
Wherever you're starting from is a fine place to begin.
How I work
Therapy is something we make together.
No set method.
The work grows out of what you bring and the relationship we build.
The body is part of it.
Our bodies often hold what words haven't reached yet. Noticing that is a natural part of how I work.
At your pace.
Sometimes it's about looking deeper. Sometimes it's simply about being heard.
Over time, the grip of the same old stories can loosen, and there's more room to choose.

About Me
I'm Myrthe, a psychotherapist and counsellor in West Cork. I work with adults, in person and online, and I'm also a counsellor at ARC Cancer Support Services in Bantry. Alongside that, I facilitate embodied movement groups.
Before training in psychotherapy, I spent 25 years as a holistic massage therapist and teacher. It taught me a lot about listening, about how much people can carry, and about the difference it makes to really connect with another person.
