Approach
Orlaith works with individuals, couples, or multiple partnered people.
Orlaith is trained in the pluralistic approach to therapy, meaning she is not fixed to one mode of therapy, but instead draws on a range of contemporary methods to best serve each unique client. She tailors therapy to your needs, preferences, and goals, ensuring a flexible, client-centered experience that empowers you to achieve meaningful change. Orlaith works from a bio-psycho-social perspective; assessing and treating clients through an integrative approach which explores the physiological, psychological and social factors behind client concerns.
Sexual issues and relationship challenges can often feel difficult to discuss, as they are deeply personal and sensitive topics. Orlaith understands the discomfort that can arise and offers an open, and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore these aspects of your life. With compassion and understanding, she is here to support you in navigating these conversations and finding the solutions that work for you.
