Life can be challenging, and there are times when we all need space to pause, reflect, and heal.
Hi, I’m Elaine, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). At Ren Therapy, I provide counselling and psychotherapy to help individuals navigate life’s challenges and foster personal growth.
Ren Therapy is a safe space where we explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences together. We will focus on increasing self-awareness, improving relationships, and building self-worth.
Let’s take the first step toward healing and self-discovery. Healing isn’t about erasing the past, it’s about understanding it, growing from it, and creating a future that feels authentic to you. Remember, wherever you are on your journey, you don’t have to do it alone.
Welcome- I’m glad you’re here.

Healing is more than just recovering from pain, it is about reclaiming your sense of self, finding clarity, and building a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are. Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt, relationship challenges, anxiety, or past wounds that still weigh on you, healing offers a path forward.
At Ren Therapy, I offer a safe, gentle space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment.
Through counselling and psychotherapy, we work together to understand your struggles, re-frame limiting beliefs, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
Moving beyond past patterns and stepping into your potential.
Learning to treat yourself with kindness and understanding.

Improving your relationships
My journey into psychotherapy was deeply personal, shaped by a profound and life altering loss that taught me the importance of connection, healing, and resilience. After the loss of my dearest friend, I found myself navigating deep grief and searching for meaning. The challenges I experienced have since highlighted how vital it is to have someone to lean on during difficult times. That experience inspired me to dedicate my career to creating a safe space where others feel seen, heard, and supported. I hope to honour her memory as I continue this journey, carrying her love and presence with me along the way.
The name Ren Therapy holds a special meaning for me. In Chinese philosophy, ren represents humanity, compassion, and inter-connectedness, values at the heart of my practice.
At its core, ren is about being in harmony with yourself and others. For me, it aligns beautifully with the essence of therapy, which is about healing self-growth and fostering meaningful relationships with both ourselves and those around us.
By choosing Ren Therapy, you’re choosing a space that values compassion, authenticity, and human connection.
I believe that every individual has the inner capacity to overcome life’s challenges and grow into their full potential. As Carl Rogers beautifully said:
When I look at an acorn, I see an oak tree. It holds all the potential within itself to grow into something strong and enduring.
Whatever you may be going through, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can explore ways to help you feel more empowered, resilient, and hopeful about the future.
Counselling offers a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can speak openly about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Everything you share is treated with respect and confidentiality.
Our first session is an opportunity to explore why you’ve decided to seek counselling and what you hope to gain from it. We’ll talk about your current challenges, personal history, and goals, but there’s no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable.
Counselling is not about being given advice or a set of instructions, it’s a collaborative process. I’ll work with you to explore your thoughts and feelings, helping you gain deeper insight and develop tools to navigate life’s challenges.
Therapy is a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges with a trained professional. It can help you gain clarity, develop coping strategies, and work through personal struggles, leading to greater well-being and resilience.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling with emotions, relationships, or self-worth, therapy may be beneficial. It’s also a space for personal growth, so you don’t need to be in crisis to seek support. If you’re unsure, I offer a consultation to help you decide.
Sessions provide a confidential, non-judgmental space where we explore your experiences and challenges. Each session is tailored to your needs, whether you want to process emotions, gain insight, or develop strategies for change.
Sessions typically last 50 minutes, though this can vary depending on your needs.
This depends on you. Some people find weekly sessions helpful, while others prefer fortnightly or ad-hoc support. We can discuss what works best for you.
I offer both online and in-person sessions to suit your needs. If you’re unsure which is best for you, we can discuss the options.
Yes, therapy is confidential, and your privacy is a priority. The only exceptions are if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by law. If confidentiality needs to be broken, I will discuss this with you where possible.
No, your information is not shared without your consent. I follow ethical guidelines to protect your privacy. If you wish for me to collaborate with another professional (e.g., GP), I would only do so with your permission.
You can book a session by email, phone, website form. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions before booking.
My standard fee is €55 per session. I offer a limited number of sliding-scale slots for those who need financial flexibility, please get in touch to discuss availability.
I ask for 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Cancellations with less notice may be subject to a fee.
At Ren Therapy, I offer counselling and psychotherapy to help people deal with life’s challenges and grow personally. Ren therapy is a place where we can explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences in a safe environment.
