Róisín Traynor Counselling

My name is Róisín Traynor, and I am a qualified counsellor and fully accredited member of the Association of Professional Counsellors and Psychotherapists (APCP) Ireland. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from ICHAS, a Postgraduate Diploma in Career Guidance from Nottingham Trent University, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and Training from Dublin City University (DCU).

Alongside my clinical and academic experience, I have contributed to a range of publications and media outlets. My Master’s dissertation, Managing Mental Health at Second Level, was published in the Irish Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy by the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). I have also contributed articles to RTÉ, The Irish Times and the Irish Independent, with a particular focus on education, career guidance and mental health. In more recent years, I have contributed to Joii Women’s Health, writing and providing professional insight on women’s mental health, endometriosis, chronic pain and experiences within healthcare.

I believe each therapeutic relationship is unique, and because of this, my person-centred approach incorporates a variety of counselling models, allowing me to take an integrative approach that is tailored to each individual. These include, but are not limited to, Solution-Focused Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
