Counselling in Naas

I see my work in counselling as helping you as a client connect with yourself at a deeper level – to explore the relationship with yourself so that you can discover your own wisdom and empowerment within. I am experienced helping clients in the areas of Trauma, Bereavement and Grief, Stress management, Personal Growth, Addiction, Anxiety, Eating disorders, Relationship difficulties, Sexual abuse, Depression, Low Self Esteem, Psychosomatic conditions, Chronic Disease, Self-harm, Identity issues and OCD.

Welcome to Haven Counselling, My name is Frank Ryder and I am deeply committed to providing you with a top quality service. I work with couples and individuals. My aim is to work with you to find effective answers that bring relief and healing. When working with couples I bring a wealth of experience going back many years. I can help you especially in areas such as communication, couple conflict, sexual problems, infidelity, domestic violence, pre-marriage doubts, all relationship issues and many others. For individuals I offer a range of therapies and experience dealing with issues such as Anxiety, Stress, Esteem, Self-confidence.

I work from an eclectic approach and draw on various theories and techniques, including humanistic, attachment and CBT. How I work will depend on what is best for you at any one time. Most important is that we build a collaborative working relationship where you feel safe to explore what is happening for you right now. Are you experiencing stress, depression or low mood? Do you have relationship difficulties, lack self confidence or feel stuck? Would you like to make changes, understand yourself and your problems better and foster fulfilling and happy relationships?

I work with each client tailoring each session to suit their needs. I use an integrative approach! I am fully accredited with IACP

Your mind holds the solution. I can help you relax, release difficult emotions and train your mind to be solution focused, so that you can live a happier and more enjoyable life.

At Blue Sky Counselling and Psychotherapy I understand that sitting down and looking for counsellors in your area (whether it is for yourself or a friend or family member) can be a daunting and sometimes lonely experience. I would like to make that process easier for you. At Blue Sky the aim is to make our service easily accessible so that you feel free to call, email, text or drop in to see how the process of counselling might work for you. You don’t need a referral to come to counselling, all you need to do is contact Blue Sky by your preferred method.

The initial phone call, usually 30 mins is free. note: some may wish to meet face to face to talk. The client may feel up-set and often emotional as they begin to talk about their issues and concerns. I make sure they feel as comfortable as is possible by listening and understanding their problems. In therapy I use a person centered approach that allows the client to lead while I interject when appropriate. I may ask a question about their past that is linked to their present day issue which helps the client connect the dots. The client feels empowered and says "I never saw it that way before" or "The penny has just dropped".

Is life difficult right now ? Perhaps you’re feeling anxious or down ? Sometimes you may feel like you don’t really fit in ? Talking to friends and family can help. Although there may be times when they are not available, or the issue troubling you may be too personally difficult to discuss with them. Talking to someone who is independent, whom you can trust to have your best interests at heart, can be a relief ! In these situations it can help to talk to a trusted counsellor or psychotherapist.

Sometimes life can just feel out of kilter and we don't know why, or the weight of every day life is heavy. When we feel like this it can be helpful to have someone to talk to who is not already involved and invested in your life. I work across a spectrum of mental health concerns, but have a particular interest in trauma, grief/loss, maternal mental health (in particular crisis pregnancy and miscarriage), addiction, depression, anxiety, low-self esteem and perfectionism. I work with Nurture Health on all areas related to maternal mental health.

Welcome and thank you for checking out my profile. If you are experiencing feelings of grief, sadness, isolation, anxiety, depression, anger or if you are experiencing the stress of a relationship breakup or divorce, sometimes the best way to process these feelings is to work through them with a qualified counsellor. My own experience of counselling as a client has shown me the healing power of talking therapy. Also, as a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist I have seen the healing power of counselling for the many different issues I work with in my therapy practice

I love to work with people who are struggling in relationship, whether it's personal, a workplace or family. Maybe you feel your needs are not being acknowledged or met in your relationship. Maybe you struggle to know what those needs are, or how to ask for them. I also love to help people who struggle to know and accept themselves. Perhaps you find it hard to like yourself, or to know what your desires or values are. Perhaps you are struggling with a manager or colleague at work, and don't know how to deal with it, maybe you don't feel appreciated or valued, and would like to be treated with respect.

No man is an island! Yet connection with others is not always easy. I have worked with clients with relationship issues, low self-esteem, social anxiety or depression, stresses of everyday living, may have suffered abuse, bereavement and loss, or had a difficult childhood where their needs were not met. Are you feeling unsettled, overwhelmed or in distress? I help the client explore within to gain clarity, perspective and understanding about themselves and their lives, enabling them to move forward through the blocks in their path to embody a more positive future for themselves.

Working with clients from age twelve, I offer therapy on an individual basis. Accessing therapy for the first time, or with a new therapist, can be daunting. I invite clients and parents to request a short phone consultation to discuss the issues at hand and ask questions about me and how therapy works. The process of therapy is a journey which the client and therapist embark upon together, working towards the client's own goal and I believe the strength of the therapeutic relationship is at the core of the therapy.

Hazel believes therapy should be a collaborative process where the therapist provides a safe, non judgemental environment. This facilitates healing by giving the client the space to process difficulties and build awareness of patterns and behaviours that may be unhelpful or causing distress. Hazel believes awareness creates conscious choices which lead to a more fulfilled life.
