Dawn Edge O’ Neill

Description of Work and Background:

I am a humanistic and integrative trained psychotherapist grounded in the existential and gestalt approaches. I focus on the human experience of being in the world and on the limits of the ‘givens’ of life in which we find ourselves and I pay close attention to the present moment/s that can shed light on our experiences. I am an experienced relational psychotherapist working full time for the last 10 years both in private practice and in the HSE’s National Counselling Service.
I developed hugely as a psychotherapist as a result of my own supervision. Here with the support of my supervisor, in a safe supervisory space, all my prior learning was deepened allowing my own process to grow and develop. Indeed one of the reasons I trained to become a supervisor was connected to this positive experience.
This training reinforced in me the value of working with integrity, authenticity and genuineness and sharpened the skills to explore and process the human experience through the body, mind and feeling realms within the supervisory setting.
I would like to offer my supervisees a safe space to develop, be supported and resourced as they face the challenges that arise in the client/therapy relationship and also to deepen their self-awareness, resilience and positive energy for the therapy work.
Please feel free to contact me with any queries and/or to explore your needs in supervision.
Contracts can be negotiated for student, pre-accredited or experienced psychotherapists. I have a preference for face to face sessions but am willing to supervisee on-line if required.
