Ms Sandra Kavanagh

Psychotherapist (Registered)

“Counsellor/Psychotherapist/Clinical Supervisor, work with Clients suffering with depression, anxiety, crisis, trauma or bereavement”

About Me

When grappling with depression, anxiety, crisis, trauma, or the profound pain of bereavement, life can feel overwhelming. I offer a calm, collaborative space where we can gently explore what's happening, making sense of difficult feelings and finding a way forward. This approach helps if you are seeking clarity and practical ways to navigate challenging times, allowing you to feel truly heard and understood.

Approach

Working with people facing depression, anxiety, crisis, trauma or bereavement, I focus on gentle, steady exploration of how past and present connect so you can find clearer choices in day-to-day life. In Dublin or online, in English, sessions are paced to your tolerance—we notice patterns, name what’s occurring in the body and mind, and try short experiments between meetings to test small changes. The work is collaborative and paced; it suits those seeking thoughtful, practical shifts alongside emotional understanding.
