Couples Counselling in Cavan

I am an experienced, accredited Psychotherapist in private practice since 2011. My focus is seeing the person as unfolding at different stages along life's journey. Sometimes along the way we can be knocked sideways. Failure ,loss ,abuse, relationship issues or bad choices can leave us experiencing stress, loss ,anxiety and depression . Early intervention is essential and my role as psychotherapist is to listen and enable you to gain insight. Any issue when talked about and explored in a supportive non judgemental therapeutic relationship where you are understood and supported will bring about positive change.

Life can present us with various situations, some more difficult than others. Some of these situations we can manage ourselves or with the support of family and friends. Other situations can seem too much for us to face on our own. Even understanding why, we feel the way we do can be distressing for us. We don’t have to suffer in this way. Counselling is there to help you to understand these situations and to work through these difficulties. Counselling for Wellbeing offers a safe, supportive and confidential environment. The process of Counselling and Psychotherapy is non-judgmental and supports healing and wellbeing.
