Louise Doran, counsellor and psychotherapist in Gorey

About Louise

Experience you can rely on.
Care that stays personal.

Louise is a fully accredited psychotherapist with more than 18 years’ experience supporting adults, adolescents and children in private practice in Gorey.

A considered approach

Trust and confidentiality sit at the heart of every session.

I am committed to providing a high standard of professional care and to continuing my training across all areas of mental health.

I believe the relationship between client and therapist is central to meaningful progress. Therapy should be a place where you can speak honestly, feel respected and explore what is difficult without being judged or rushed.

I truly love my work as a therapist. It is challenging and deeply rewarding, and it is a privilege to support people as they find greater understanding, healing and change in their lives.

How Louise works

Warmth, structure and room to be yourself.

The approach is adapted to each client. It can bring together person‑centred therapy, CBT and creative methods where appropriate.

01

Relationship‑led

A respectful therapeutic relationship gives you a steady base from which to explore difficult experiences.

02

Person‑centred

Sessions respond to you as an individual—your circumstances, your priorities and the pace that feels manageable.

03

Practical when useful

CBT‑informed work can help you notice patterns and develop practical ways to respond differently.
