Mr Gerry Hickey

Registered Professional Counselor

“I am a qualified and experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist practising full-time in Dublin and anywhere through online platforms. Full details available at www.gerryhickey.com”

About Me

As an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I offer a dedicated space. Here, you can explore concerns and find a clear path forward. Practising full-time in Dublin and online, I provide a confidential setting where your voice is truly heard. My aim is to help you gain clarity and develop practical ways to navigate life's challenges. This approach suits anyone seeking thoughtful, professional support to make sense of their experience.

Approach

Here, therapy moves at a practical, collaborative pace: I work with you to identify small, realistic steps and check progress each week whether we meet in Dublin or online in English. Sessions blend focused conversation with simple tools and occasional short exercises between meetings so patterns become clearer and manageable, especially around stress, mood or addictive behaviour. I keep sessions direct and patient, balancing challenge with support. This way suits adults seeking clear, steady progress and practical coping.
