Help for Mid Life

Life is passing me by!

I'm getting old and I still haven't achieved anything of importance!

​

My kids are leaving home and I feel lost lonely and unimportant!

​

I've just retired and have lost my sense of identy and purpose!

Life has lost all meaning!

​

Do any of these sound famaliar? You are not alone. Mid life can be a time of much upheavel and change. Our roles and responsibilites begin to change. How we manage these transitions can impact on the second half of our lives. I can help navigate you through those changes, to a greater understanding of who you are and what you want from the next chapter in your life.

My Approach

Throughout our lives we will experience many changes. Changes can be chosen or forced, expected or sudden, celebrated or grieved, internal or external. Changes can include leaving home, finishing college, changing jobs, ending a relationship, marriage, first time parents, empty nest, mid life, aging, illness and the death of a loved one. We are naturally resistent to change. We prefer the safety and comfort of the famaliar to the scary unknown. Change can trigger anxiety and feelings of overwhelm. We may want to fast forward to the new beginning, such as a new relationship, job or degree without fully processing the ending. Others may get stuck and feel trapped, unable to move forward. How we navigate our endings will deeply impact how the new chapter in our life will unfold. It it during this perilious transitional phase, which feels like no man's land that clients turn to therapy.And thus they take the first step towards a new beginning.

 My work is to support and guide you through these challenging transitions. I will help you adjust to change, identify and express your feelings, gain new perspectives and aquire new skills. Change can build confidence, resilence and greater expansion throughout your entire life. 

I bring a warm, accepting and gently challeging pressence to the therapy space. While I use many different modalities in my work, I believe the greatest agent of change is the theraputic relationship itself.

Hi,

I’m Davnet,

I am a psychotherapist based in Co.Mayo. I am a late bloomer and returned to education and a new career in psychotherapy late in life following a long career break to raise my children. I have recently relocated to the West of Ireland, to follow my souls calling and establish a private psychotherapy practice in my native county. I specialise in guiding and supporting clients through major life transitions.

Thank you for visiting my website.
I offer daytime and evening appointments.
I work face to face and online.
My Fee is €60 per 1 hour session.
However I am willing to discuss a reduced rate based on individual circumstances. I believe that fees should not preclude anyone accessing therapy.
