Jay Fitzsimons (He/him)

I’m a dedicated and compassionate student counsellor working towards a BA (Hons) Counselling and Psychology.

I’m a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, with a particular interest in working with LGBTQIA+ clients. My approach is rooted in Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), which emphasises empathy, unconditional positive regard, and the belief in each client's inherent potential for personal growth.

I provide a safe, affirming, and inclusive space for all individuals. I believe in the power of a non-directive, client-led approach to therapy, where the client is the expert on their own experiences. By focusing on creating a trusting and supportive environment that allows clients to explore their identities, emotions, and challenges without fear of judgment.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understanding the unique experiences and struggles that we face. I am committed to supporting clients through issues related to coming out, identity exploration, relationships, and navigating societal challenges. I am particularly skilled in helping clients build resilience and self-acceptance, drawing on their own lived experiences and professional training to offer empathetic and informed support.

Jay offers online sessions on Mondays and Thursdays from 6:30pm and Saturdays from 5pm and in person sessions on Fridays evenings in 95 Baggot Street Lower.
