About
My name is Myra Kokke
I am an integrative psychotherapist working relationally and trauma-informed with adults 18+.
I work with people carrying experiences that can feel dark, overwhelming, frightening, isolating, or impossible to speak about openly. Some people arrive feeling disconnected from themselves. Others live with shame, anger, emotional numbness, self-destruction, fear, or the sense that nobody could truly understand what they carry.
I welcome the parts of people that are often hidden away.
You do not need to minimise your experiences, explain them away, or present yourself as “good” in therapy. I believe many behaviours and emotional patterns begin as ways of surviving pain, trauma, neglect, loss, fear, or relationships that felt unsafe.
Therapy can become a place to slowly understand what happened to you, what happened inside you, and how you learned to survive it.
I believe therapy works best when there's space for honesty, trust, humour, complexity, and real human connection. I do not see people as diagnoses or problems to fix. I see therapy as a relationship where painful experiences, protective patterns, and difficult emotions can be explored safely and without judgement.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy and informed by trauma-informed, somatic, and neurobiological approaches.
I am a pre-accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and continue to engage in ongoing supervision, professional development, and personal process as part of my practice.
