Ms Jessica Riley

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“Jessica offers a non-judgmental, empathetic approach to her clients. Jessica started her training by gaining a BA in Psychology and went on to complete an MA in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. Jessica is fully accredited with the IFPP and ICP.”

About Me

I offer a non-judgmental, empathetic space where you can truly explore your inner world. My psychoanalytic psychotherapy approach helps you understand long-standing patterns and make sense of how past experiences shape your present. We can work together to uncover what feels stuck, fostering a deeper self-awareness. This process is a good match for anyone seeking profound understanding within a truly collaborative relationship.

Approach

In sessions I keep a steady, attentive pace that encourages recurring patterns to surface and be examined. Working from Dublin or online in English, I combine reflective listening with careful interpretation to help you make sense of anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship struggles and body-image concerns. Between meetings we often reflect on themes that arise, tracing links from past experiences to present choices so insights can inform daily life. This style tends to suit adolescents and adults seeking deeper self-understanding and steadier emotional footing.
