Online Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland & Europe

Online Counselling in Ireland and across Europe

Finding space to process life shouldn't be difficult. Online therapy is available across Ireland, and I also work with clients across Europe.


Working together online, I offer a calm space for you to pause, reflect, and explore your inner world.


Together, we will talk about your concerns, explore your emotions, familiar patterns, and experiences at a pace that feels right for you, all from the comfort of your own space.

How Will Online Counselling work?

"The greatest gift you can give someone is the space to be their authentic self." - Ralph W. Emerson

I offer online counselling via Zoom, ensuring that you receive the same depth and confidentiality as in-person sessions. 


For many individuals, online therapy can foster a greater sense of ease - allowing you to engage in therapy from your familiar surroundings, without the stress of travel and from the comfort of your own space, which many clients prefer. 


All you need is a reliable internet connection, headphones, a private and confidential space to talk, and a charged device.


Here's how it works:


  • Initial Call: We’ll talk through your needs and answer any questions you have.
  • Scheduling: We’ll set a regular day and time that fits your life.
  • Reminders: You’ll receive an email reminder a few days prior to every session so you never miss an appointment.

What are the Benefits of Online Therapy?

Online psychotherapy gives you the freedom to fit therapy into your life - no rushing across town or sitting in traffic. You can connect from wherever you feel most comfortable.


Virtual therapy is just as impactful as meeting in person. In fact, some of my longest-standing clients work with me online. For those who don't have access to the right support locally, these regular online sessions offer a reliable, deeply meaningful space to explore your personal process with support.

Areas of Interest and Experience

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland and across Europe

How Can I Help?

I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including (but not limited to): 


  • Men & masculinity 
  • LGBTQ+/GSRD 
  • Trauma & difficult life experiences 
  • Psychedelic experiences & integration
  • Anxiety, stress & burnout 
  • Relationships, attachment & boundaries 
  • Life transitions, identity & meaning


I also work with grief, depression, self-esteem, family dynamics and many other concerns that can arise at different points in life.


Therapy is not about fitting you into a particular approach. Instead, we work collaboratively to understand what you are experiencing and find ways of working that feel meaningful, supportive and appropriate for you. I aim to create a space where there is room to explore not only what you are struggling with, but also what may be asking to emerge, change or be better understood.

Approaches to Therapy

Therapy That Meets You

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland and across Europe

Our one-to-one sessions are tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. Together, we create a space where you can explore your experiences openly, at your pace. 


I’m here to support you as you navigate challenges, build resilience, and nurture a greater sense of clarity in your life.

Online Counselling

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland and across Europe

I provide online therapy across Ireland and Europe, providing a secure and confidential space to speak openly from wherever you are. 


While online therapy is different from meeting in person, it can still offer a meaningful space for connection, reflection and therapeutic work, with the added flexibility of meeting from your own space.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland and across Europe

CBT is a practical and supportive approach that helps you work through the challenges you may be facing. In our sessions, we’ll explore the ways your thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and behaviours interact, and we’ll work together on strategies that bring meaningful change to your everyday life, which can help you feel more empowered with goals that matter most to you.

Mindfulness-Based Approach

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland and across Europe

Mindfulness-based approaches cultivate present-moment awareness and acceptance, supporting individuals to notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without judgment. 


By developing this capacity for mindful attention, people can respond to difficult emotions with greater clarity and ease. This practice strengthens emotional regulation, slows thinking and supports well-being.


It involves being receptive to current experiences, thoughts, and sensations without trying to control or suppress them.

Body Psychotherapy

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland and across Europe

We often try to understand our difficulties through thinking alone, yet the body holds its own wisdom. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-focused approach that brings gentle awareness to the connection between body, emotions, thoughts and behaviour.


By noticing physical sensations, impulses, patterns of tension and nervous-system responses, we can begin to understand ourselves in a more embodied way.

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland and across Europe

I offer an affirming space for clients whose identities or relationships fall within the spectrum of Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD). I recognise that everyone’s experience of identity, relationships, belonging and self-expression is unique.


For LGBTQ+ clients, therapy can offer a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, belonging, and the challenges and possibilities that come with living true to you.


You are welcome here, exactly as you are.

Attachment-Based

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland and across Europe

Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape emotional and psychological development. Rooted in attachment theory, it emphasises the importance of a secure, trusting relationship between client and therapist as a foundation for healing. 


By creating a safe relational space in the present, attachment-based therapy can help repair earlier attachment wounds and foster more resilient ways of relating to oneself and others.

Trauma Focused Therapy

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland and across Europe

Trauma-focused therapy supports individuals in healing from the emotional and psychological impact of difficult or overwhelming life experiences. 


It offers a space to process traumatic memories, including symptoms related to PTSD, while learning to regulate emotions and build personal coping resources. This approach helps people move toward greater resilience, stability, and empowerment in their lives.

Existential Therapy

Existential Therapy

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland and across Europe

Counselling for existential concerns supports individuals in exploring deeper questions about meaning, purpose, identity, and what it means to live a fulfilling life. Whether someone is reflecting on their values, life direction, or sense of purpose, this approach offers a compassionate and supportive space to explore these themes. 


Together, we look at how these insights can be integrated into daily life, helping to create a greater sense of authenticity, meaning, and choice.
