Online Counselling and Psychotherapy in Ireland

Online Counselling in Ireland

If you are looking for online counselling, I offer a space where you can pause, reflect, and begin to explore what is unfolding in your life.


Online therapy is a place to gently understand patterns, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Through online sessions, this work becomes accessible wherever you are in Ireland.


Online Therapy via Zoom

I offer online counselling and psychotherapy, which takes place through secure video sessions via Zoom, offering the same depth and confidentiality as in-person work.


For many people, online counselling creates a greater sense of ease - allowing you to engage in therapy from your own familiar space, without the pressure of travel or time constraints. All you need is a good internet connection, headphones, a private and confidential space to talk and a charged device!

How Will Online Counselling work?

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

My approach to therapy is humanistic and integrative, meaning I draw from different therapeutic perspectives depending on what best supports you.


At the heart of my online therapy work I offer:


  • Deep listening and reflection 
  • A focus on the therapeutic relationship 
  • An openness to whatever you bring
  • A collaborative and attentive style


Alongside online counselling and psychotherapy, I integrate mindfulness to support 'here and now' awareness and presence. This can help you to relate differently to your present moment thoughts, emotions, and experiences.


If you are searching for an online therapist in Ireland, my intention is to offer a space that feels steady, respectful, and real.

Approaches to Therapy

In-Person Therapy

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Portlaoise and Online

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.

If you’re looking for a trusted online therapist in Ireland, you’re welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial consultation.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Portlaoise and Online

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 (MBCT)

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Portlaoise and Online

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 Portlaoise and Online

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 gently supports reconnection between mind and body by bringing awareness to physical sensations, emotional responses, and habitual patterns.


By working mindfully with the body, this approach can help release held tension, process overwhelm, and support healing from trauma. It encourages grounding, regulation, and a deeper sense of balance and embodiment.

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Portlaoise and Online

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 each person’s experience with gender, sexuality, and relationships is unique. Therapy for LGBTQ+ folks can provide a supportive place to explore identity, expression, belonging, and the challenges and joys that come with them. 


You are welcome here.

Attachment-Based

Steven O' Riordan Counselling and Psychotherapy in Portlaoise and Online

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 Portlaoise and Online

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 Portlaoise and Online

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.
