Counselling in Celbridge

I work individually with adults and teenagers aged 17 and over. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental space in which my clients can work on any issues they might have at their own pace. Through building a warm relationship based on empathy, support and acceptance, I aim to facilitate my clients in developing new insights and understandings about themselves, while providing support to make the changes they desire in their lives. My approach is humanistic and integrative, which enables me to tailor therapy to suit each individual's needs.

I am a fully qualified integrative and humanistic psychotherapist, pre-accredited with IACP. I provide a warm, non-judgmental, empathic space for clients. Alongside general therapy services, I have a particular interest in dealing with the impact of long term illness.

My name is Linda Bolger and my counselling practice is called STL Counselling & Psychotherapy. STL stands for ‘Someone to Listen’ and I hope if it’s counselling that you need that I could be that someone for you. I am a fully qualified Counsellor/Psychotherapist with a Degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy, and I am an accredited member of the IACP. I work using a person-centered approach and I use CBT a lot in my practice as I find it works very well with so many issues presented in my therapy room. It is a very effective form of therapy and clients can see results, improvement and progress quite quickly using this approach.

My work as a therapist is very rewarding. Being a facilitator of personal growth, I get to witness people transform, connecting with themselves on a deeper level becoming a more authentic version of themselves. Its lovely seeing someone evolve having built new resources and self-acceptance discovering a new zest for life. I get to meet courageous and resilient people and sharing their experiences is a real privilege.

Anne Marie is an experienced psychotherapist who works with individuals when they are struggling, to help them find the source of their suffering. She helps individuals to find solutions to their problems by creating a safe space where they can untangle their thoughts and process their feelings. Some of these thoughts or feelings can restrict a persons life and keep them feeling stuck. Identifying what keeps a person stuck or drains them is the first step in a process that enables individuals to become unblocked so that they can move forward and live the life they want to live.

I am a qualified psychotherapist with a BA (Hons) degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy from Dublin Business School and am an accredited member of the IACP (Irish Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy). I have also completed the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST). I use an Integrative and Humanistic approach to psychotherapy and counselling. I believe in the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I provide a confidential, non-judgemental and supportive environment. I believe the role of the therapist is to facilitate and assist clients to make meaning of their experience and discover their inner world.

I am both a fully accredited therapist and supervisor in private practice in a purpose built premises with parking and toilet facilities. The 67 bus stop is a 5 min walk in either direction. I work with individuals from age 15 and couples. I offer a flexible range of appointment times and I also facilitate ONLINE THERAPY particularly during our current restrictions. Therapy is an opportunity to enhance the quality of your life. It is a space to explore what feels like a barrier to your best life. It is a collaborative experience where hopefully you are reminded of how you make the choices to direct your life while feeling supported.

Are you having difficulty coping? Do you feel tired all the time and lack interest in everyday life? You may be fed up with feeling stuck, struggling with negative thoughts or having little to no confidence in yourself. You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel like yourself again. You’re ready to take control of your situation. Most of all, you’re ready to love life again & to face your future with a sense of hope.

Paula O’Connor (MIAHIP) BA Hons. Psychotherapy & Counselling. Paula holds BA (Hons) Degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Dublin Business School and is accredited to The Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy ( IAHIP). Paula’s approach to her work is integrative and humanistic, a module that encourages the distinctly human quality of choice and creativity and emphasizes the hopeful view of human beings and their ability to be self-determining.

As an integrative counsellor, I provide a gentle yet direct approach to counselling, creating an empathic and nurturing environment. This approach allows me to adapt to your unique needs and circumstances. Taking the first step towards attending therapy is often the most challenging, as it can be difficult to admit to ourselves that we may need the assistance of another to embark on this journey. However, I am here to gently support you on your therapeutic path towards achieving your personal healing goals.

Many people experience some form of disruption in their mental wellbeing at some point across their life and may need some extra supports when managing this. Perhaps you may have experienced something very challenging, upsetting or traumatic, recently or in the past, which you are finding difficult to process. Alternatively, you may be feeling tired, frustrated with life and lacking motivation for those parts of life from which you used to take enjoyment. Emotional wellbeing can impact greatly on varying aspects of daily life, hinder the ability to carry out normal daily activities and can cause conflict with those close to us.

I am here to provide support, empathy, no judgement and my expertise in all areas of mental health as I have been working in the industry for fifteen years.
