Reviews

I have found counselling with Laurence a great support . He really helped me with my social anxiety and struggles around fitting in. I feel that I can tell him about what ever I am going through without feeling judged.

I have been seeing Laurence for over a year now, and I feel very comfortable sharing my struggles and experiences with him. I feel that he really listens and understands.

My partner and I saw Laurence for Couples counselling. We were struggling with jealousy, and trust issues.

Which caused alot of problems in our relationship. Laurence really helped us to listen to each other and get to the root of many of the most difficult feelings of anger and mistrust which we were struggling with. It really helped to ease things for us.

Hello and welcome to my website

Taking the first step in seeking support for an issue that we are struggling with can be difficult. Finding someone you can trust to share what may be troubling you is not always easy. A family member or friend can sometimes provide a listening ear but this may not always be an option.   The fact that you are looking at this website is perhaps a sign that you are considering such a step. This may be your first time in Counselling or you may have been to counselling before but need a new approach. Either way I offer a supportive, safe and confidential space where you can begin to share  whatever it is you need to share.  

My approach

My approach to Counselling is to meet you where you are in your life without preconditions, irrespective of how this is. To feel fully met and listened to, is perhaps the most therapeutic thing that we may encounter. To share and to really feel that our sharing is heard is I believe the single most important way that a Counsellor can help. If we can trust another person enough to show some of our vulnerability, and not be judged or critiscised, then we can begin to accept these aspects of ourselves and move on the journey. Counselling can offer us the chance to be real and authentic with another human being, to show our real selves. Something we may rarely, if ever get the opportunity to do in our everyday lives . Many mental health issues still carry a social stigma and we are discouraged from showing our true selves in the work place or in public.

Individual session. €50 per hour.

Couples Therapy.

€70 per one hour session .

 Your decision to attend Couples Counselling took courage and commitment. I offer a safe, confidential space for you the couple to express and explore your fears and concerns about the past, and your hopes, desires and goals for the future.

I use our first session together to explore what is bringing you to therapy just now and what your needs and expectations are. Only at the end of the first session will we discuss a plan for further sessions if you are happy to continue.
