Consultations

Mental Health

Sometimes it’s difficult to explain or talk about our fears, anxieties and worries. Quite a few people are too shy to ask for help when it feels like their world is falling apart.

Mental health is a description of the state of one’s mind, feelings and emotions. It is an integral part of our overall health and impacts on almost every aspect of our lives. Therefore it is important to talk and discuss our worries with another person, a close friend, family member or a professionally trained facilitator such as a counsellor or psychotherapist.

Therapists can offer caring, expert assistance that can help identify problems and assist in finding the best ways to cope with them. Supportive listening in a confidential setting that is provided by counselling is conducive to good quality therapy as the client feels free to explore their innermost feelings in a safe environment.

A few sessions are often enough to alleviate symptoms such is the power of being supported and listened to effectively.

Appointments are usually given within a few days. The initial appointment is primarily about meeting, discussing presenting issues. At this initial appointment we will address the most suitable therapeutic approach, setting realistic goals.

Therapy sessions last one hour, preferably once per week.

Fees:- Students and unemployed – € 45 per session All others – € 50 per session

Clients

Our clients hail from different walks of life , social groups, classes, jobs and ethnic backgrounds. The one true thing that can be said about mental illness is that it does not discriminate in any way, shape or form. Whether problems have been brought on in recent years or are rooted in the past, we just do not know when they will appear and start to affect our lives.

The way we are feeling can leave us with anxiety or drive us to addictions or eating disorders, leave us with low self-esteem or lacking in confidence. What triggers this can vary from loss or bereavement, separation or divorce, the failure of a relationship or sexual abuse. The causes maybe a little more easier to define in cases of post natal depression, gender issues, or fertility problems. Our teenage clients can of course have been subjected to any amount of abuse or just need someone to talk to and listen.

Psychotherapy and Counselling at The Orchard Counselling Practice provides expert assistance, identifying problems and finding coping methods best suited to the situation. Confidential consultations in a relaxed environment helps steer our clients towards the healing process and back on the road to good mental health.
