If you contact me by phone and don’t reach me directly, please leave a message or send a text and I will get back to you within 24 hours on weekdays.
When we have arranged an appointment by phone or email, I will give you directions to my counselling room in D&D Physical Therapy Building & Ard Na Gaoithe Business Park, Clonmel . We will meet in a private and confidential setting. You can expect to be met with a warm welcome and attentive listening.
In our initial session, we will establish the issues that have prompted you to take seek out a counsellor. I will share with you how I work, addressing any questions or concerns you may have. Together we will discuss what you feel you would like to get from counselling and agree on when we will meet again and how often.

Will you give me advice?
Will you give me advice?
No. I believe you are the expert on yourself and your own greatest resource. Together we will explore your needs and wants, thoughts and feelings with the aim of empowering you to come to the decisions or resolutions that are right for you in your life.
How many sessions will I need?
How many sessions will I need?
Every person and issue are different. Individual needs in therapy vary greatly. Counselling can be short term and can focus on resolving or reaching clarity on a particular issue. Counselling can also be a longer-term source of support and space for exploration of issues.
We will agree to an initial short-term number of sessions which you are happy with. We will review your needs and aims frequently as your needs and aims may change. You are always in control of how you want to work.
At the end of the counselling relationship, we will have closing session. My door is always open to returning clients who wish to “check in” or do another piece of work
