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

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, which some 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 before 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 integration & preparation
  • 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

Working Through What Matters

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

Our sessions offer an opportunity to explore what's happening in your life, make sense of your experiences, and become more curious about how you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others.


I bring warmth, curiosity, and gentle challenge to our work, while leaving room for things to unfold in their own time. Together, we can explore what feels important to you and consider what might help you best right now.

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

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) explores how our thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations and behaviours influence one another. It can help you recognise patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical strategies to make changes in your everyday life, working towards goals that matter to you. 


I’ve completed additional training in CBT to support clients who value a more structured, practical approach to understanding difficulties and working towards change.

Psychedelic Integration & Preparation

Steven O' Riordan, Psychotherapist, Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Integration Online

Psychedelic integration is the process of exploring, understanding, and gradually bringing the experiences and insights of a psychedelic journey into your everyday life.


Together, we can make sense of what you experienced, spend time with what has emerged, and explore how your insights might continue to unfold in your life, relationships, and sense of self.


My approach is informed by my training with the InwardBound Institute, pioneering Irish and Celtic psilocybin retreats since 2018, and my ongoing experience supporting and co-facilitating psilocybin retreats in the Netherlands, working with both individual and group processes.

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

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

I offer affirming psychotherapy for people whose identities, relationships or experiences fall within the spectrum of Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD).


Having worked for many years in LGBTQ+ community services, I recognise that everyone's experience of identity, relationships, belonging and self-expression is different. 


Therapy can offer an opportunity to explore these experiences, navigate challenges and make sense of what matters to you, without having to fit into someone else's expectations.


You are welcome to bring all parts of who you are into our work together.

Body Psychotherapy

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

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

Sometimes, understanding our difficulties through thinking alone isn't enough. 


I draw on Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a body-focused approach to therapy that explores the connection between our body, emotions, thoughts and behaviour. This can help us recognise patterns and responses that may be difficult to put into words but are held in the body.


By gently noticing bodily sensations, tension and nervous-system responses, we can begin to understand how past experiences continue to affect us today, develop new ways of responding, and reconnect with our own strengths and resources.

Trauma Focused Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Approach

Mindfulness-Based Approach

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

Trauma-focused therapy explores the impact of overwhelming or difficult life experiences on how we feel, think and relate to the world around us.


I recognise that trauma work takes time, and that trust and a sense of safety develop differently for each person. My approach is informed by additional training with the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute (SPI), bringing awareness to the connection between the body and emotions in the present to help you reconnect with your own strengths and resources.

Mindfulness-Based Approach

Mindfulness-Based Approach

Mindfulness-Based Approach

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.
