Ms Sarah McDermott

Psychotherapist

“A qualified and accredited Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor providing clients with a confidential and non-judgemental space.”

About Me

This integrative psychotherapist offers a confidential, non-judgemental space. Here, clients can feel truly heard. They tailor support to each individual, helping explore personal challenges and complex feelings at their own pace. Such an adaptable approach fosters deep self-discovery. Clients seeking a collaborative process, where their unique journey is honoured, find a supportive guide. They navigate paths towards clarity and well-being.

Approach

Within a respectful, private setting clients often find the work moves at a steady, client-led pace that balances safety with gentle challenge. Sessions in Co Kildare or online are conversational and focused — we pause for grounding, track patterns, and name emotions without rush. Between meetings I encourage small, manageable experiments and short reflections to help insights land in everyday life. Those coping with loss, past abuse, fertility challenges or difficult family dynamics tend to find this steady, practical rhythm supportive.
