About Building Bridges Counselling and Psychotherapy - Ballyfermot

Making the decision to find a counsellor can be a difficult task, whether it is your first time or you are returning back to counselling. It can be a huge step in itself, as you may be experiencing a number of feelings, such as: what if I look silly, what if my problems seem unimportant or what if I don't know where to start? This is normal; honestly do not let this stop you. Please don't hesitate to call me and ask any questions, and then decide if you would like to come along to a free consultation? It's my belief that we all have our own answers to our difficulties and sometimes all we need is a safe place to explore our concerns. Also there are times when the ones closest to us aren't the best people to discuss our concerns, as our relationships with family and friends can often be the source of our distress. At Building Bridges I provide

 a safe caring, non-judgemental and supportive space which allows people to explore issues within their life that are presently causing distress. Therapists use different approaches and interventions to suit the requirements of the client. The goal within the therapeutic relationship is help the client work towards making more positive choices.

He taught me to flourish as a human being

5 50 Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment • Paid: €60

John transformed my life. I worked with John over a long period of time. When I met John, I was lost, trapped in a very unhappy, toxic and abusive relationship with no self-esteem. John has a very targeted approach to supporting you to heal and transform your life. He helped me put things in place so I could learn to live my life free from addiction and trauma. At the time, I was in a very bad situation and was overcome with addiction. Not only did he help me put the pieces of my life back together and teach me how to put one foot in front of the other. He taught me to flourish as a human being; he taught me my worth. Today I am 8 years clean and sober, and I work as a college teacher, which I absolutely love. I no longer look for approval from others or get myself into situations I shouldn't. John gave me my life back, and I will be forever grateful. If you're looking to change your life for the better or overcome any difficulties, look no further

Thank u very much watching u grow and build ur life was the real gift, i wish u great health and happyness

My mindset now is starting to change

5 50 Psychotherapist Consultation • Paid: €50

It’s so hard accepting that you need help and making the first step. I can safely say, it was easily the best decision I’ve made in a very long time. John has literally pulled me back from the edge and is making me look forward to living again and the future. My mindset now is starting to change. Instead of ‘this is my life for good’ I think ‘this is my life for now’. I’m learning that things will change and it’s not just a saying. Do the work as best you can. It really is one baby step at a time and John is with you through it all. He has saved my life. His thirst for life rubs off very quickly. I am so happy I chose Building Bridges. Thank you for my mending heart!

Anger management is a form of counselling to help you cope with any angry feelings you may have that affects your health, work, social behaviour or personal relationships.Managing anger and dealing with anger in a healthy way includes: recognising when you get angry

  • taking time to cool down

  • reducing your general stress levels in life

These concepts are just some of the ways to approach anger management in counselling.

Bereavement Counselling (50 mins)

Bereavement counselling offers the opportunity to explore, understand and work through feelings of grief. Although everyone's personal reaction to a bereavement is different, most people experience some of the following emotional responses when someone close to them dies: disbelief, trauma, anger, sadness, relief, guilt, depression, anxiety, despair, longing and loneliness. 

At Building Bridges Counselling and Psychotherapy I will work with you at your pace to discuss your journey without your loved one. In my personal life I have lost family and friends that are irreplaceable yet through counselling I feel so much stronger. Although they have passed they are never forgotten.
