Hi, I’m Kevin, founder of Clearview Counselling, a private counselling and psychotherapy service based in Dublin 11. I work with both adults and adolescents, supporting people with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, depression, and grief or bereavement.

I understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step. My aim is to offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel at ease to talk openly, explore what’s going on for you, and begin to make sense of things at your own pace.

My approach is grounded in a humanistic, person-centred perspective. I place real importance on building a genuine therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, valued, and understood. I also draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, narrative therapy, and reality therapy, tailoring how I work to best meet your individual needs.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the Institute of Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, as well as a Master’s in Adolescent Psychotherapy. I am a member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and work in line with their ethical guidelines to ensure a safe, professional, and confidential service.

I have a particular interest in creative therapeutic approaches and have conducted research on the use of creative media in therapy. I am committed to ongoing professional development and continue to expand my practice through further training, with the aim of supporting you in building resilience, insight, and lasting positive change.

I offer both in-person and online sessions, depending on what feels most comfortable and convenient for you.
