About

John Bourke is a humanistic and integrative psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience in healthcare, supporting individuals from all walks of life in addressing their healthcare challenges and promoting wellness. Throughout his career, John has worked in a variety of healthcare roles within both community and commercial settings, which has provided him with a comprehensive understanding of the diverse needs of individuals seeking therapeutic support.
As an accredited member of the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP), John specialises in helping individuals overcome emotional and psychological suffering. He believes that psychotherapy can offer effective relief, particularly when the sources of suffering are complex and difficult to access. The therapeutic relationship, he recognises, is a powerful resource for healing, growth, and personal transformation. John's research at University College Dublin (UCD) focuses on the role of the therapist's personal self in supporting the therapeutic process and the concept of therapeutic presencing.
John understands the intensity and invisibility of psychological and emotional suffering, which can leave individuals feeling threatened, confused, and isolated. He is committed to helping his clients find the next step in their journey toward healing and vitality within the safe and supportive environment of therapy.
John offers therapy for a range of issues, including stress related to family, parenting, relationships, work (such as burnout or bullying), anxiety, panic, trauma (including sexual and emotional trauma), self-harm, depression, low self-esteem, grief, loss, and bereavement. He also supports clients through relationship difficulties, separation, divorce, parenting challenges, and life transitions such as career changes and personal development.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
