Family Therapy Counselling in Downpatrick

Adults, children and adolescents all need a space to explore and express their experiences, and for some this tends to be more difficult as they struggle to understand what they're feeling, never mind find the words to describe them to someone. People often find that when they voice their experiences, feelings, and worries, and confide in a professional who can offer support and help them make sense of these, they feel heard, understood, and often a little lighter from sharing the weight of these. I aim to help my clients to feel that little bit lighter.

Are you struggling? Anxious? Challenged? Lonely? In despair? Lost confidence? Low self-esteem? In need of direction, new confidence, raised self-esteem ... ? At Shimna Therapy we have almost four decades of no nonsense, person-centred counselling to help guide and support you when times are challenging and you need to regain control, find new direction and feel more confident and assured with yourself, others and in managing situations. We focus on helping you find the best version of you so you can focus on living a full, happy and fulfilled life.

I am an integrative counselor offering online counseling. We will begin with a multimodal assessment which will give an holistic overview of all aspects of your life From this we will identify and prioritize where you want to work. I will integrate three approaches and tailor them to your needs. The first is person-centred which offers you safe, non- judgemental understanding. The second is psycho-dynamic which helps you to connect with past experiences that may be causing difficulty in the present and the third is cognitive behavioural which focuses on changing current behaviours using tools and interventions.

Unsure about the future or tortured by memories of the past? Are you questioning if your habits and behaviours are really helping or hindering you? Do you wonder if a relationship or friendship is healthy or good for you? Do you automatically blame yourself for problems in your relationships? Do you feel vaguely unhappy or low sometimes and aren’t sure why? Do you find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no? Do the demands of life overwhelm you and leave you feeling anxious and unable to switch off? Do you feel that things may never change or that you can never change?

Life can throw many challenges and sometimes we can get a bit stuck and not sure what to do to change the situation. I understand that it can be difficult to ask for help but seeking some help is the first step to improving your situation.. Sometimes it is easier talking to someone out side your family circle or friendship group about an issue that is causing you or your family distress and instead to talk to a professional therapist I offer a free 15 minute consultation if you are unsure if talking therapy can help. Therapy can help build self esteem, reduce anxiety , improve relationships with family and peers .

What I offer is a non-judgemental, relaxing, safe place where you can discuss everything. I am here to listen, whatever you need to say will be heard.
