Anxiety, depression, stress, addictive behaviours, and other life challenges can feel like a prison, but there are ways out, and happiness is possible. There's no need to suffer any longer, reach out today and get help to move toward a better future.

• If you're in Galway call me now to set up an appointment at my office in Terryland.
• If you are outside of Galway, online counselling is available. 
• Beginning therapy can be a big step, so to see if it's right for you, I offer a free, confidential 15 minute phone consultation where you can ask questions, and get an idea of how therapy can help.

"Since I have come to therapy I have started living again, and I found out that it's quite nice to be me! I am not looking for approval from other people any more, and I realised I have the power to move past the past.
Coming to therapy has made a huge difference in my life. I didn't realise I was in chains until I started talking about it, I only wish I had done it sooner!"  - L

"I really don't know where I would be if I didn't decide to get help, now I am feeling great, doing well. I'm full of positive energy and doing things in the house, helping people, and finding time for myself and my hobbies. Thank you! You are amazing person and I'm glad I met you!" - P

"I spent around six months working, being guided, or helped along - to guide myself, by Claire. I felt at great ease talking with Claire, and she always shed light with insight from previous sessions. 
​She has great emotional awareness and is a fantastic person. I am hugely grateful for her support and the experience shared. I would highly recommend her as a counsellor to anyone." - K

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything that you did for me and with me and helped me with. There were days when I really felt like running away or dying and sometimes a little bit of both and you helped me in ways I could never even explain. I am no longer lost, and I truly mean that. " - M

Counselling provides a confidential space for you to work through challenges, take control of your happiness, learn to understand and like yourself, and be in charge of the direction of your life. No matter how big or small your struggles may feel, whether the challenge is a specific event or a recurring pattern that you want to leave behind, counselling can help. You can have a life that is rich and free from limitation.
