About Me

Hello my name is Emma Stakelum and I am a pre-accredited Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist based in Wicklow and South Dublin. I offer individual psychotherapy to adults (over 16)

I work both in person and offer online sessions when circumstances make it difficult for the client to attend therapy face to face.

Whatever difficulty you are experiencing, I will provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can gain a deep understanding of yourself and your psychical life. Through this exploration we will look at the roots of your current struggles and increase your ability to find new ways of dealing with them.
Are you seeking a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences? As a psychotherapist, I offer a personalized approach that helps individuals navigate life's challenges and uncover their true potential.

My Approach
I believe in the power of the unconscious mind to shape our behavior and relationships. Through a psychoanalytic lens, I work with clients to understand the underlying patterns and dynamics that may be influencing their lives. By exploring past experiences and present-day relationships, we can gain valuable insights and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

What to Expect
In our sessions, we will create a confidential and non-judgmental environment where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself. Together, we will delve into your thoughts, feelings, and dreams to uncover deeper meanings and gain a greater understanding of yourself.
