Deirdre O'Flynn Counselling

My name is Deirdre O’Flynn. I am a fully qualified and Registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) living in Barnes, SW London.  

Many of us experience difficulties in our lives which can be related to anxiety, depression, low self esteem, loss family, relationship and work issues;  all of these can lead to a variety of disabling feelings such as shame, stress, regret, fear, confusion, sadness, loneliness, anger or simply feeling ’stuck’. My belief is that therapy offers a unique opportunity to explore in depth what may be troubling you and giving you the time to express your feelings in a safe, confidential and non judgmental space. My training is in Psychodynamic Therapy where I work with you to discover how your unconscious thoughts are affecting your current behaviours.  I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy theories and methods where appropriate. 

The help I offer ranges from short term therapy focussing on a particular issue to open ended therapy which is a deeper exploration of the issues being experienced.  We will look at the concerns and challenges which have brought you to seek some help and find new possibilities for healing, growth and change.  The most important thing to consider when looking for a Counsellor is for you, the client, to be able to trust the person and feel you can work with them going forward.
