Renata Juraske, NCPS

Renata Juraske is an integrative counsellor with five years of practice who works with people facing a wide range of emotional challenges. Based in Dungannon, Northern Ireland, she supports clients dealing with depression, anxiety, bereavement, anger, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, bullying and emotional abuse, suicidal thoughts, and identity questions. Her work also extends to areas such as addiction, trauma and abuse, eating issues, parenting struggles, and coping with life changes.

As an integrative practitioner she draws on elements of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy to tailor an approach that fits each individual rather than applying a single method to everyone. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that indicates formal training and recognised membership within counselling circles. Renata aims to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can explore their inner world and develop practical coping strategies.

Her approach emphasises working within each client’s limits and helping people build tools they can use outside the counselling room. The goal is to support clients in understanding patterns, improving relationships, and gaining skills to manage difficult emotions so they become increasingly able to care for their own mental well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Renata uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment in which clients set the pace and focus of sessions - this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. In addition, Psychodynamic Therapy can be used to explore deeper patterns from past relationships and early experiences that influence current feelings and interactions, helping clients gain insight into recurring difficulties.

Deciding on the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Renata works collaboratively with clients to find the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust methods so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that suits their schedule and comfort level. These options make ongoing support more accessible for people balancing work, family, or other commitments, while enabling consistent contact with registered professionals and therapists who can guide the therapeutic journey.
