                        Face to Face and Online Counselling Now Available

Hello, my name is Sinead and welcome to my profile. I offer a free initial telephone consultation to talk through the issue you are experiencing. I can help if you are feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of life and want someone to talk to. You might be feeling 'stuck', or trying to find a way out of anxiety or depression? I can help you.

Perhaps you are having relationship issues.  We can often struggle with those closest to us. I can help you navigate the issues that are affecting you. We can work towards a more harmonious relationship balance with understanding and empathy. Professional relationships can be difficult to navigate too sometimes, we can also help in thi sarea.

Suffering a loss or trauma can leave you feeling isolated and lonely. You may simply want to take charge of your life and make some changes to the way you think and relate to others. Talking to someone away from family and friends can help.

When you experience issues that unsettle you. Issues that may be challenging to think about on your own, I can help. By meeting together on a regular basis in the safety of my comfortable consulting room, we can attempt to confront your fears and find ways to approach life's obstacles in a manageable way, generating the potential for positive change. Why not call me and we can talk about how I might help you.

My approach

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor with an integrative approach. I will listen in a non-judgemental way, offer caring confidential support and help to guide you to discover where your difficulties may stem from.

We often ignore or bury painful experiences from the past even though they can continue to affect the way we behave and think in the present. Exploring these experiences results in a deeper understanding of yourself and others.

It can be beneficial to talk to an experienced therapist with an unbiased perspective, who can offer a safe space to talk and is not connected to family or friends.

• Stress and anxiety

Young Peoples Counselling

Young people are under an enormous amount of pressure at school, home and with friends. This is all usually well managed but if we add parental separation, illness, abuse, bereavement, sexual identity or gender issues, bullying, relationship issues and anxiety, to name but a few, this becomes overwhelming. Young people often retreat to their room, put their head phones on and stop talking. Without the right sort of help they may turn to harmful ways of coping, making the situation even more complicated.

Statistics taken from the Mental Health Foundation indicate that 70% of young people who experience mental health problems have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age.

It is often very difficult for a child to talk about their difficulties; this can result from not understanding what exactly is happening to them, and therefore not being able to articulate it. I work towards helping your child become more self-aware, leading to better self-care and in the process, learning the language needed in order to talk to those who can help them outside of the counselling room.

I offer a free initial telephone consultation of 30 minutes to help you decide whether I might be the right therapist for you.
