BARBARA DUTTON
BA Counseling and Psychotherapy
Originally from New York, I moved to Dublin where I spent several years studying Counselling and Psychotherapy. My approach is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy, Choice Theory, and Multicultural Counselling, recognising the unique experiences, values, and cultural backgrounds that shape each individual's life.
​
I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I aim to support you in gaining greater self-awareness, developing effective coping strategies, and working towards meaningful personal growth and wellbeing.
​
I believe that every person has the capacity for change and healing when provided with the right environment of empathy, acceptance, and understanding. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy can provide the space and support to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
