Getting to know Fiona Walsh Dinan

Since 2014, I have been helping people using a nonjudgmental relational approach, creating a warm, therapeutic, safe, and supportive setting. I draw on aspects of meditation and mindfulness in my work. I am passionate about my own yoga and meditation practice and believe in the healing power of mindfulness on mental and physical health and well-being. These practices help me stay calm, centered, and present. I was born and raised on a farm in South East Ireland and came to counseling after almost twenty years in software and technology consulting. I hold a Master’s in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, a Master’s in Business Administration from University College Dublin, and a Bachelor’s degree from Ulster University.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I use a holistic approach. My work is influenced by Gestalt Psychology, emphasizing present-moment awareness, somatic experience, and authenticity. My transpersonal approach makes room for spirituality, and I use imagery and dreams to access the healing power of the imagination. In my view, psychotherapy is a journey inward that can be daunting to navigate alone, and I am here to offer support and partnership.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I customize my therapy approach to suit my client's individual needs and objectives. I believe that each person has a distinct history and narrative that shapes their present experiences, behavior, desires, and emotions. When we work together, my primary aim is to create a safe and trusting environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story with me. I value your feedback and preferences in our sessions. My role is to collaborate with you on discovering your unique toolkit and strategies for living the life you desire. I will be there to support you, challenge you, ask thought-provoking questions, provide resources, teach new skills, identify patterns, and take note of our relationship dynamics.
