Adolescent psychotherapy and adult psychotherapy are essential components of mental health support. Both approaches can include various techniques, such as psychodynamic therapy, which explores the underlying psychological processes affecting individuals. Whether you're seeking adolescent psychotherapy or adult psychotherapy, understanding these therapeutic methods can lead to better mental well-being.

A compassionate, understanding, non-judgemental space to work through life's challenges

At In-focus Psychotherapy, we emphasize practicing psychodynamic therapy from a relational lens. This approach applies to both adolescent psychotherapy and adult psychotherapy, allowing us to explore how your past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns may be influencing how you feel and live today.

Real healing and change occur through a genuine, trusting connection in a space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment or agenda. Therapy isn’t about fixing you; it’s about helping you understand yourself in deeper, more meaningful ways, enabling you to make the changes you desire in your life. When you engage in therapy at In-focus Psychotherapy, we’ll look beneath the surface, make sense of what has been weighing on you, and work toward lasting emotional growth and real-world change.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, depressed, confused, broken, or simply curious about yourself, you’re welcome here.

John Doyle MIACP, Adolescent and Adult Psychotherapist

I am a fully qualified and accredited Psychotherapist holding an MA in Integrative and Humanistic Psychotherapy from SETU and the Tivoli Institute, as well as an IACP accredited Professional Diploma in Adolescent Psychotherapy. Additionally, I have completed specialised training in areas such as the treatment of Eating Disorders, Neurodiverse-informed psychotherapy for adolescents, and the treatment of process addictions.

I practice psychodynamic therapy through a relational lens. This means that, together, we will explore how your past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns may be shaping your present life. My aim is to offer a safe, compassionate space where you can freely examine what’s on your mind without fear of judgment or pressure to "have it all figured out."

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent nearly two decades working in the arts and education sectors, leading creative communities and working closely with individuals navigating their own growth, expression, and self-doubt. This background deeply informs my therapeutic approach—I understand the importance of having environments where you can safely explore who you are, experiment, and connect with your own inner resources.

As a fully qualified secondary-school teacher, I believe my experience working with adolescents in this setting provides me with unique insights that I bring to my work in adolescent psychotherapy.

In therapy, I work with individuals who feel stuck, disconnected, or are grappling with significant questions around identity, freedom, meaning, and authenticity. I’m particularly interested in how we make sense of our place in the world, navigate personal responsibility, and start living in alignment with who we truly are.

Psychotherapy, whether it’s adolescent psychotherapy or adult psychotherapy, isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about getting curious, building insight, and fostering emotional connections that can lead to real, lasting change.

If you're looking for a space to slow down, reflect, and explore your life at a deeper level, I’d love to meet you.

What can I expect in my first therapy session?

In your first therapy session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to get from coming. We will also talk about your medical history and any current symptoms you may be experiencing. I will seek to understand the type of therapy that would benefit you most. I believe that each client's needs are different, and in our first session we will work to understand what your individual needs might be.

How often should I attend therapy?

The frequency of therapy sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. Many clients attend therapy once a week, while others may attend less frequently. I will work with you to develop a personalised plan that feels right.

What age clients can come to therapy at In-focus Psychotherapy?

I am fully qualified to work with clients from age 12+, and have specialist training in Adolescent Psychotherapy.

Can I attend psychotherapy online?

Yes. At In-focus Psychotherapy I offer both in-person sessions in our office at 36 South Main Street Naas, and online via zoom. Clients can choose the option which best suits their needs. I also offer a hybrid model, with some sessions is person and some online.

Is Psychotherapy a confidential space?

Yes. Psychotherapy is a completely confidential space. The only time that confidentiality would come into question would be if you were a danger to yourself or to others, and, in this instance, we would decide, together, how to move forward. At In-focus Psychotherapy we adhere to the code of ethics of both the IACP and the IAHiP - the two main professional psychotherapy bodies in Ireland.

If I am under 18 will you tell my parents what we discussed?

No. the same limits of confidentiality apply whether you are over or under 18. The only time that confidentiality would come into question would be if you were a danger to yourself or to others, and, in this instance, we would decide, together, how to move forward. However, appropriate openness with parents or guardians can be really helpful, and this is something will discuss in our sessions. At In-focus Psychotherapy we adhere to the code of ethics of both the IACP and the IAHAP - the two main professional psychotherapy bodies in Ireland.

How much does it cost to come to therapy?

The standard fee at In-focus Psychotherapy is €75.00 per session. Sessions last for 1 hour. I also offer reduced cost psychotherapy in certain situations based on individual client's circumstances and needs. This can be discussed in person or in an initial phone consultation.
