Hi, I’m Anthony.
I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist.
I am also an Artist.

The First Session:

During our first session together, we will take the time to get to know one another and build the foundations of our therapeutic relationship. Through listening and asking questions we will get to know about your past experiences and get a sense of any areas of work which feel pertinent to the struggles, stuckness or difficult emotions you may be experiencing in your current life. We will also implement relevant tools and define goals which help you towards growth and change beyond those negative experiences.

Working Together:

I am an experienced and licensed Psychotherapist who is fully accredited with IAHIP.
I also hold a specialist training in working with victims of Sexual Violence from the Galway Rape Crisis Centre.

I work mainly in a person centered style, this means that I listen deeply and I will always respect your own intuition, strengths, insights and life experiences. I provide a safe, confidential and welcoming listening space, where we can work together in collaboration to explore and resolve the areas in your life where you are experiencing pain, are struggling, stuck or otherwise challenged and desire change.

In working together we will come to a better understanding of your own motivations, emotions and behaviours; where they have originated from, and how to let go of the things which do not serve you any longer. You will also find a gentle and safe space in which to unpack and explore any difficult or traumatic life experiences, giving them light and air, space and time, and allowing them to heal. I believe in kindness, empathy, openness, creativity, and that everybody has the capacity to tap into their own unique inner resources to find ways to move forward and grow.

No matter what the nature of your struggle or experience, working with me you will always find a warm, safe, kind and welcoming listening space in which to unfold, explore and resolve the issues at hand.
