Adult Counselling
Professional support for adults navigating life's challenges
Counselling
At times we can all feel stressed, overwhelmed, depressed, and anxious. When feelings like these last for a long time or become difficult to manage, they can begin interfering with your well being, relationships and general enjoyment of life. This is where Counselling can help. Counselling tends to be relatively short term and to focus on current specific personal difficulties.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a longer process which helps people to understand the deeper roots of their present difficulties with a view to developing a greater understanding and being better able to manage in life.
Both Counselling & Psychotherapy can help with issues such as:
Anxiety or stress
Depression
Emotional or behavioural issues
Low Self Esteem
Abuse
Bereavement or Loss
Relationship issues
Unhelpful patterns of behaviour
Difficulties relating to childhood or the past
Unforeseen or unwelcome changes in life
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
At times we can all feel stressed, overwhelmed, depressed, and anxious. When such feelings are being fuelled by negative thoughts and beliefs, CBT can help. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a proactive, practical and solution-focussed approach to personal problems. Both the client and therapist work together towards understanding problems in terms of the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
The more actively involved the client is in this goal-orientated process, the better the outcome. CBT is often action-orientated, with specific technique-driven, brief, direct and time-limited exercises for specific psychological disorders.
CBT can help with issues like:
Addressing specific fears or phobias
Obsessive thoughts and behaviours
Managing Stress
Anxiety and social anxiety
Managing depression

Session Fees
My fee for a standard one-hour session is €80.
Payment can be made in cash on the evening of your appointment or by bank transfer, depending on what suits you best.
I also work with therapists who are currently in training, and I offer a reduced sliding-scale rate of €70 per hour for these sessions.
This allows me to support those developing their professional practice while ensuring the work remains accessible.
If you have any questions about fees or payment options, I'm always happy to discuss them with you.
