I was skeptical at first

5 50 CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

My GP suggested that I should get CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) for my OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). I have to admit that I was skeptical but was willing to try anything. I found OPAL on the What Clinic site through an Internet search. I was put in contact with Ray James and he explained the concept of CBT so well that I felt re-assured. I had eight sessions in total and Ray helped me so much during these. I learnt effective coping strategies and he helped me to confront my OCD. I can now manage this and live life more fully. I have no hesitation in recommending Ray as a first class therapist.

I feel my real self again

5 50 Holistic Health Consultation • Paid: €125

Mindfulness Therapy for stress

I have been suffering with stress and been on medication but nothing seemed to really help. Someone recommended OPAL and said I should ask to see Ray. After the very first session that I had, I noticed a real difference. I thought that I would need to have lots of sessions over a number of months but I had just five sessions with Ray and I am able to manage my stress and function normally!
What a great place and thank you Ray for your understanding. At last, I feel my real self again.

I would recommend

5 50 Counselling • Paid: €120

I attended OPAL as I was suffering from extreme anxiety. I couldn't cope with the feelings anymore. Since then my life, my feeling in my life, has changed totally. The difficulties are the same but all my fear, anxiety, etc is so much more manageable. I feel peace and joy now! I have compassion toward those who I felt have hurt me, or with whom I have had difficulty. Ray suggested 'mindfulness practice' to me, and I attend the Friday evening mindfulness group in the OPAL centre. I come out feeling So great. My husband is amazed at the change in me. I have grown without trying. I would recommend ANYONE ANYWHERE to attend a session, a talk, a course, a workshop...You have nothing to lose, everything to gain! The OPAL centre is a safe harbour, a light, a welcoming and accepting place. I am SO BLESSED to have found it, and to know Ray as a mentor, counsellor, guide.
