Relationships Support at Pathway Therapy
Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Online Psychotherapy for Relationship Challenges in Ireland
Relationships — whether romantic, family, friendships, or work connections — can bring deep joy, but they can also feel painful, confusing, or exhausting when patterns of conflict, disconnection, mistrust, or unmet needs keep repeating. At Pathway Therapy, we offer gentle, understanding, and supportive online therapy for adults navigating relationship difficulties, including communication struggles, recurring arguments, intimacy blocks, boundary issues, attachment wounds, codependency, loneliness in relationships, or healing after break-ups, betrayal, or relational trauma.
We view relationship challenges not as proof you’re “bad at relationships” or “unlovable,” but as signals that past experiences, unmet needs, learned patterns, or current stresses are influencing how you connect. Our approach is trauma-informed and person-centred: we help you build self-awareness, develop healthier ways of relating, restore safety in connection (with yourself and others), and create more fulfilling, authentic relationships — at your own pace.
Common concerns include:
-
Difficulty communicating needs or feelings without conflict
-
Repeated arguments, criticism, stonewalling, or defensiveness
-
Feeling disconnected, lonely, or emotionally distant even when together
-
Trust issues after betrayal, infidelity, or inconsistency
-
Struggles with intimacy (emotional, physical, or both)
-
Boundary challenges — people-pleasing, over-giving, or difficulty saying no
-
Attachment patterns (e.g., anxious, avoidant, or fearful styles) showing up in relationships
-
Codependency, enmeshment, or losing yourself in the relationship
-
Navigating break-ups, separation, divorce, or rebuilding after relational trauma
-
Loneliness despite being in a relationship, or difficulty forming/maintaining close connections
-
How do past experiences affect current relationships?
What is Depression?
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental difference where the brain processes attention, impulses, emotions, and motivation in a unique way—often described as neurodivergent rather than a deficit. It's not about a lack of willpower; it's a natural variation in how dopamine and executive functions work, leading to traits like interest-based focus (hyperfocus on passions), challenges with sustained attention on uninteresting tasks, impulsivity, emotional intensity, and a need for novelty or stimulation.
In adults, ADHD often shows up as internal restlessness, time blindness, executive function struggles (planning, starting/stopping tasks), rejection sensitivity, or burnout from masking in a neurotypical world—many people aren't diagnosed until later in life. Strengths frequently include creativity, quick thinking, empathy, resilience, and out-of-the-box problem-solving.
At Pathway Therapy, we view ADHD as part of human diversity to celebrate and accommodate, not "fix." Therapy supports you in reducing overwhelm, embracing your strengths, building practical tools (without masking), and living more authentically—no judgment, just partnership.
