Welcome to my website

Do you lie in bed “replaying every conversation” or avoid opportunities because you fear you’ll “fail.” Are you tired of feeling like you’re “not good enough”? Do you “not know who you are anymore without this anxiety?” Does your chest feel “tight like there’s a weight pressing down?” These are the lived experiences of the clients I work with — and I see real change happening for them every day.

Together, we’ll work gently at your pace to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control.

Imagine waking up with more ease, moving through your day with confidence, and finding moments of genuine calm in your own mind. You can make decisions without second-guessing yourself and have energy for the people and activities that matter most. If you are ready to explore this, contact me today.

If you’d like to connect before committing to a session, I offer a free 15-minute Zoom consultation—a chance to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and see if it’s the right fit for you. This consultation is designed to discuss your needs, outline the therapeutic approach, and determine suitability before commencing formal sessions. I look forward to supporting you in your mental health journey.

The first visit

Generally, the therapy sessions last approximately 45-50 minutes, once a week, at the beginning. This time is typically adjusted foe adolescents; depending on their age and their ability to engage with me. Usually, therapy sessions are between 35-45 minutes for an adolescent.

During the first meeting, I will go through the therapeutic contract and ask you to agree to the terms and sign a form. I will keep one signed copy of the contract and I will provide a signed copy to the client. Then, I will ask the client questions about themselves, their background, their expectations of counselling and what you hope to achieve from the experience..

Confidentiality

Providing a safe and supportive space whereby you can talk free of judgment and explore your thoughts, feelings and behavioural habits is of great importance to me. To me, the notion of confidentiality and the understanding the limitations of confidentiality is imperative in providing effective therapy to a high standard of professionalism and ethics. In the first session, I will provide further information regarding the rare occasion whereby confidentiality may need to be broken with or without your consent. Throughout the therapy process, if you are unclear on these limitations or require further..

How many sessions and how often will I need to attend?

The number of sessions and frequency of sessions will vary according to the specific needs of each individual I encounter. During our first appointment, this is something we can discuss with your goal of therapy in mind..

How do I know if psychotherapy and counselling is right for me?

If you contact me, we can discuss this. We can discuss what might be challenging you, what you want to do about it and if this is something that can be achieved through therapy. Every person has a unique life experience so different things work for different people at different times. This is something we can figure out together.

How much does it cost?

Each session will cost €70.00, payable by cash, bank transfer or Revolut.

Will my insurance cover the cost of sessions?

I am a private practitioner and I am not affiliated with any insurance company. Therefore, you will have to contact your insurance company and provide them with my name, Jimmy Williams, and my APCP Accredited membership number, MBR11362, to query if your sessions with me are covered. Clients should verify coverage with their insurer before starting treatment. If your insurance company does not cover sessions with me then I can recommend alternative options if you want me to.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes. I work online with people using Zoom and research shows that efficacy rates for online therapy are favourable.

Do you offer reduced cost therapy?

I do. However, availability is limited. Reduced cost therapy is available for individuals in full-time education, in part-time work and people who are unemployed. These sessions are typically online and start at €40.00. Please get in touch to make an enquiry regarding reduced cost therapy.

Cancellation Policy

If you cancel your appointment with more than 48 hours’ notice, there will be no charge. If you cancel your appointment with less than 48 hours’ notice, you will be charged the full amount of €70.00. Frequent cancellations and/or late arrivals will be addressed.

What’s the difference between a Psychiatrist, a Psychologist and a Psychotherapist and Counsellor?

Psychotherapist and Counsellor

The words Counsellor and Psychotherapist are often used interchangeably. Generally speaking, counselling is focused on more immediate life stressors and the focus is on navigating same. In contrast, psychotherapy is often concerned with deeper rooted challenges that may have stemmed from experiences in childhood. Neither will diagnose a mental health condition.

Psychologist 

A psychologist’s training differs from that of a psychotherapist, though there is some overlap. Psychologists are trained to identify potential neurological, learning, emotional, or developmental issues that may require further assessment. They are also qualified to diagnose these conditions.

Psychiatrist
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in mental health, focusing on the biological and chemical aspects of mental disorders. They often collaborate with a patient’s GP, can prescribe medication, and may refer to a psychotherapist or psychologist for counseling support.
