Internal Family Systems therapists in Glanmire, Ireland IE

I am a highly trained and experienced psychotherapist specializing in Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My approach is flexible and collaborative—therapy with me doesn’t have to involve art unless that resonates with you. I am here to help you explore what’s beneath the surface, untangle complex emotions, and create meaningful change in your life. Before becoming a therapist, I built a successful career in design and technology. My own journey of personal growth and healing deepened my curiosity about people—what drives us, what holds us back, and what helps us thrive. This inspired me to retrain as a psychotherapist, combining my life experiences with professional expertise to support others on their journeys. At my core, I am compassionate, empathic, and deeply committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space. While I can be direct when it’s helpful, my approach is always warm, grounded, and trustworthy.  

I am Nicola Woods, a qualified and accredited Mindfulness-based psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and a Transformational and Leadership Coach, providing weekly online sessions. I am passionate about the power of therapy in helping us reconnect with our true authentic selves, by developing greater self-awareness, compassion and acceptance. As your therapist I will meet you where you are, with kindness, compassion, and non-judgement. We will work together to unpack and transform the relational patterns and beliefs that might be getting in the way of you living your life fully and authentically.  

My name is Saffron. I am an accredited member of the BACP and have been practicing as a counsellor and psychotherapist for twenty years both within an agency setting as well as within my private practice, where I offer face to face, online, telephone and walk and talk appointments. I have worked with clients across the age range of 14 up to and past the retirement age. The service that I offer welcomes people from all backgrounds in a way which is non discriminatory and supportive. Counselling offers an opportunity to process personal challenges and difficulties within an environment that is supportive and confidential. At times this might include discussing painful and uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, emotions. You are not alone with this as many people experience these at different points of their lives. When this is happening it can be hard to remain in a positive and focused frame of mind. Sometimes people feel overwhelmed and feel unable to continue to cope in the way that they usually could with their life on a day to day basis. One of the ways that counselling can help is by providing a space to process personal, behavioural and relationship issues in a safe and confidential way with a qualified professional. My role is to support you with this process in a way that is non judgmental, free from criticism or giving advice as to what I believe is the right thing for you to do. By working together in this way I am there alongside you as you find your own answers in a way that is right for you as we are all individual and unique and what is right for one person may not feel right for someone else. Of course you don't have to tell me everything about yourself and your life if you are not comfortable with this however you may find it beneficial to be as open and honest as you are able to be.
