The Threshold Practice
Therapy, Supervision, and Reflective Care
For the Transitions that Shape a Life.
Counselling and Psychotherapy
When life changes — through loss, pressure, or uncertainty — therapy offers a space to pause and make sense of it.
Some people come for short-term support; others stay longer to explore deeper patterns in relationships, identity, and self-worth.
We work with Adults, Adolescents, Families and Relationships
Sessions are available online or in Dublin, and for some, through walk-and-talk psychotherapy in Phoenix Park — an eco-based approach that integrates movement, breath, and connection with the living world.
Sometimes healing begins simply by stepping outside.
Clinical Supervision and Reflective Practice
Supervision is the quiet companion of good therapeutic work.
It’s a space to pause, reflect, and notice how the work moves through you — what it awakens, what it asks, and what it costs.
At The Threshold Practice, supervision is relational and creative.
It’s not about proving competence, but about staying close to the living process of therapy itself — to the ways we meet, mirror, and are changed by those we sit with.
Together, we explore clinical material, transference and countertransference, ethical edges, endings, and the impact of trauma and culture on the work.
The process may include reflective dialogue, writing, or experiential methods — not as techniques, but as ways of deepening understanding.
Supervision is available for:
Counsellors and psychotherapists (trainees, pre-accredited, and accredited)
Supervisors seeking peer or meta-supervision
Allied professionals — youth work, social care, education, and community practice
Sessions take place online or in Dublin (Eco Supervision), individually or in small, closed groups.
How the Work Begins
Reaching out for therapy or supervision can feel like another threshold in itself.
Here’s what to expect:
Get in touch.
Send a short message about what’s bringing you here, or book a brief intro call.
There’s no pressure — it’s simply a first conversation.
Find the right fit.
We’ll talk about what you need, the kind of support that might help, and whether this space feels right for you.
Begin the work.
Sessions are held online or in person in Dublin.
Some people come for a few months; others stay longer as the work deepens.
Fees
Session fees can vary depending on circumstances, but are generally 80 euros per session. Most insurances accept our accreditations.
A limited number of reduced-fee places are sometimes available for trainee therapists and those of limited means.
About James
James Byrne (he/him) is a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and educator.
He founded The Threshold Practice as a space for reflection, depth, and care for people navigating life’s thresholds and the changes that shape who we become.
His work is relational, trauma-informed, and eco-based, with a focus on shame, identity, and the inner adolescent, the part of us that still longs to be seen and understood.
James works with adults and adolescents, both online and outdoors, helping people move through what no longer fits and toward what feels true.
“Every life crosses thresholds.
The task is not to hurry through them,
but to walk them with presence and care.”
