Integrative Psychotherapy in Swords and Online
Therapy for real life—explore, heal, and grow.
Deciding to start counselling in Swords can feel daunting—especially when you’re already feeling lost or uncertain. But you don’t have to navigate this on your own.
I provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel truly heard. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, past experiences, or difficult relationships, we can work together to help you understand what’s happening and find a way forward.
Therapy is about meeting you where you are, at your own pace, in a way that feels right for you.
How I Work
I’m Caroline Irwin, an integrative psychotherapist based in Swords, Co. Dublin. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration, offering a space where you can explore what’s going on beneath the surface.
I support adults who feel emotionally stuck—whether that’s due to anxiety, depression, past trauma, relationship difficulties, or low self-esteem. Some of my clients don’t even realise they’re carrying trauma—they just know something doesn’t feel right, and they want to understand why.
The therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for change, and I tailor our work to suit your individual needs, ensuring emotional safety as we move at a pace that feels right for you. Our sessions will explore patterns, emotions, and experiences, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself. If you often feel overwhelmed or disconnected, we can work on techniques to bring more stability and ease into your daily life.
If you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or exhausted by the weight of it all, therapy can help. Whether you're looking for psychotherapy in Swords or prefer online counselling sessions, I am here to support you.
Counselling & Psychotherapy in Swords
What It Is & How It Helps
Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you understand yourself better so you can navigate life with more ease. It offers a confidential, judgement-free space where you can safely explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. There’s no pressure, just the space to reflect, heal, and grow.
Through therapy, you can gain insight into your patterns, relationships, and experiences, helping you break free from what’s holding you back. Over time, you may start to feel more in control of your emotions, understand the root causes of anxiety, stress, or relationship struggles, and develop healthier boundaries. Therapy can help you build stronger relationships, boost your confidence, and deepen your connection with yourself.
What I Can Help With
Sometimes, we don’t have the words to explain how we’re feeling—we just know that something isn’t right. You don’t have to have all the answers before you start therapy.
If you see yourself in any of these, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. If you’re looking for trauma therapy in Swords, I am here to help.
I work with clients who are struggling with:
Trauma & PTSD
Processing past experiences, even the ones that don’t ‘seem big enough’ to be trauma. Many of my clients don’t initially realise they are carrying trauma, but together we can explore, process, and heal in a way that feels safe and manageable.
Anxiety & Overthinking
Constant worry, racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, or feeling like you can never switch off.
Depression & Low Mood
Feeling lost, disconnected, or struggling to find motivation.
Relationship Struggles
Navigating challenges in family, friendships, or romantic relationships.
Self-Esteem & Confidence
Feeling ‘not good enough,’ struggling with perfectionism or self-doubt.
Life Transitions & Change
Career stress, breakups, parenthood, or feeling stuck in a rut.
Stress & Burnout
Emotional exhaustion, nervous system dysregulation, and overwhelm.
