Online Therapy FAQs

You may be wondering what is the difference between counselling and psychotherapy? There are many times that counselling, and psychotherapy can be seen to overlap, and therefore it is hard to separate. Counselling is increasingly used to describe the supportive listening and holding that a skilled professional can offer in order to help you if you are experiencing issues that have recently happened. For example, you may be looking to talk about the emotions that you are experiencing around a relationship break up, or panic attacks, or a recent loss. Our psychotherapy Sandyford therapists deal with issues such as symptoms of longer-term or on-going trauma, deeper issues that cause beliefs and emotions that undermine our sense of self, earlier childhood or young adult experiences such as attachment issues and searching for direction and meaning in our lives. Both forms of therapy are there to help you get through difficult stages and experiences in your life, no matter how big or small they may seem to you at times.
Our fully qualified therapists are here to lend you a helping hand along your journey to better mental health. All of our therapists in private practice have completed full professional training, are fully insured, and are accredited members of IACP, IAHIP or PSI.

At Mind and Body Works we have a variety of therapies to suit you and your needs. Here below is a small sample of what we have to offer for you our Sandyford clients:

Sex Therapy:
Sex therapy (also known as psychosexual therapy) helps you and/or your partner work on areas of your sexuality or sexual life that are problematic or causing you distress. This has obviously an impact on you in terms of how you experience sex and sexuality and how it can then impact on how you experience relationships with others. Examples of issues in psychosexual therapy include premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus, dyspareunia, and inability to achieve orgasm. Psychosexual therapy explores the emotional and psychological aspect of your sex life and helps to bring more self-awareness and understanding, and also to implement practical techniques that can lead to improvement.

Couples Relationship Counselling:
Couples counselling is for you and your partner to explore together the sometimes-difficult aspects of your relationship that are causing tension, conflict, and dissatisfaction, often accompanied by feelings of loneliness, anger, frustration and a lack of emotional and sexual intimacy. The aim of couples therapy is to seek better understanding for both individuals and the couple, leading to higher levels of contact, communication, love and intimacy. Couples therapy gives you a space to talk openly to each other, in the presence of a therapist, to try to identify what the issues are that are preventing this from happening, and to see if the couple can find ways of working through these issues and improving their relationship. The additional help from a therapist helps clarify emotions and issues and to support the couple as they go through this often-difficult process.

Child Play Therapy:
If you are looking for a child play specialist close to the Sandyford area, here at Mind and Body Works we have facilities to support that from our southside counselling centres in Dundrum and Donnybrook. Child play therapy is available from the age of three upwards until late teenage years. As a child or adolescent it can be hard to find the words to express emotions and experiences, or to know how to respond or behave in certain types of situations. Child play therapy allows the child to play out their emotions through different activities. Child play therapy helps children understand why they may be feeling certain emotions and behave in certain ways and helps them see from a different perspective. It is also really important in that it involves the parents, which is an essential part of bringing improved and lasting change in the child’s life.
