CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Ireland

I began attending Mairead a couple of months ago, seeking support for overwhelm, and anxiety, and hoping to cope better with past trauma. In that short time, Mairead has provided me with the tools to rebuild my self-esteem, and to begin to change long-held negative beliefs. Mairead is clearly very experienced, but also warm, intuitive, unassuming and most importantly, she creates a safe and non-judgmental space to talk and to be heard. The work we have done together, and the support Mairead has provided, although she will not take credit for it, is really life-changing for me!

Just finished 8 weeks of Counselling with James and I must say what a difference it has made to my life. I was somewhat sceptical entering counselling again after a couple of negative experiences with previous counsellors. With James it was different. He has an amazing skill of making you feel really calm and relaxed in his presence. I was suffering from anxiety due to work-related stress which was also affecting my relationship with my partner. James used various techniques to help me focus and relax and also encouraged me to challenge my negative train of thought using Cognitive behavioural therapy. This really helped relieve my anxiety. After a couple of sessions, I could already see a difference in my approach and outlook. The Counselling centre is perfectly located and very convenient to reach by public transport. All in all my experience of the Counselling sessions with James were extremely positive. He is a very skilled counsellor and comes highly recommended.

I found Sue to be very warm sympathetic and understanding towards my needs. The counseling room is peaceful and comfortable. Very professional but what really stood out was the fact she did not keep to the one-hour appointment. She just knew I had to talk so she let me talk and talk and cry. She gave me an insight into myself that no one ever had. Over the coming weeks, I gained confidence in myself and a relief. My heart was not as heavy as when I first met her. I now am on the road to recovery. I will call to Sue occasionally for a counseling session if I feel myself going downhill again. I would highly recommend her services.
