Ray Tonge
Experience
A humanistic and integrative psychotherapist, group facilitator, lecturer and supervisor working in Rathmines in Co Dublin. Have over 19 years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy. I run many experiential personal development courses, workshops and groups. I am a faculty member and lecturer on counselling and psychotherapy at PCI College and, in the past, lectured with ICPPD College.
While there are various psychotherapy approaches, the most successful therapies have in common the quality of the relationship, respect and trust between client and therapist, you will find a safe, friendly, nonjudgmental atmosphere. This setting will allow you to relax, explore, express, or confront whatever has brought you to therapy. I will encourage, support, and gently and respectfully challenge you to live the life YOU want. I am open and transparent with you, nonjudgemental and skilful in my therapeutic method. It is vitally important that you feel safe and have confidence in my ability to be your therapist so that we can walk through this period of your life together. With the knowledge and confidence that I can be strong, steady support.
