Renata Juraske, NCPS
About me
My name is Renata and I am an integrative counsellor based in Dungannon, Northern Ireland. I work with a range of issues such as Depression, Anxiety, Bereavement, Anger, Relationship, Self-Esteem, Bullying/Emotional abuse, Suicidal Ideation and/or Identity crisis. If you feel under the weather but don’t really know what is going on with you, or have specific issue, it might be helpful to explore your emotional well-being in a counselling room.
I work under strict confidentiality and provide a safe space for you to explore your inner world whilst employing non-judgmental attitude.
As an integrative practitioner I employ elements of the three main therapeutic approaches of Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioural and Psychodynamic. This helps to find the most suitable working approach for each individual as I do not believe that ‘one shoe fits all’. I always work within clients’ limitations and make sure that you feel comfortable and respected. My aim is to ensure that you leave counselling equipped with healthy coping mechanisms and tools to make sure you can deal with whatever life brings your way. My goal is to ensure that you become your own therapist.

Renata is so understanding, she offers many different techniques and new ways of thinking. Her knowledge of anxiety shines through and so does her proactive approach to dealing with it!

Renata has been incredible. She’s made me feel extremely comfortable to share my thoughts and how I’m feeling. Renata has offered worksheets that have been so useful to me. She is a very calming person to talk to who shows real compassion and understanding and has helped me process a difficult time in my life. I will be forever grateful!!

Renata has been wonderful. She has an incredible ablity to not only truly listen to my thought processes but can perfectly balance observing and helping identify my pattern of thinking, my strengths and areas of thought processing that can be improved. Her recommendations are structured in a supportive way that makes me look forward to putting in the work to improve my own ability to handle not just my past but my present and my future.

She has helped me a lot with understanding my personality and how that affects my thinking. She has also questioned a lot of my thoughts, which has helped me realise how thoughts can be misleading and not true to reality. I do not feel as anxious as before about things that made me anxious to the point where I couldn't function properly. I feel like I have more of a grip on misleading thoughts because of what I have learned in my sessions.

For the first time in my life I've felt, allowed myself to process and validate my self worth at 31 years of age.
Allowing myself to feel emotions and not bare the weight or responsibility of my covenant or blood expectations.
Just breath for a moment and I genuinely feel like she cares about my wellbeing with a professional and outside perspective.
Also challenging me on my steadfast, stubborn outlooks, observations, expectations.
Listens, takes great interest and I believe genuinely cares about my well being.
Our sessions can go from manic behaviour both depressive and euphoria but she's always paying attention and giving me the tools to help/love/forgive myself.
She's given me the tools to draw boundaries and given me the time and interest to feel validated.
Even if the session becomes intensively serious or melancholy. Some where along the like she makes me smile or atleast helps me feel like its not all my fault.
I just wish I had done this earlier in life but I feel like im building the tools and mechanisms required to become the best version of myself.
