Shelly Flanagan Couples Counselling and Psychotherapy Services.   Relationship Counselling is a process which offers a non-judgmental and confidential space in which couples can take some time to explore and understand their relationship issues from a deeper perspective. Relationship Counselling is recommended for couples that are experiencing significant disruption and problems and are experiencing a breakdown in communication or periods of anger and conflict, when, despite their best efforts, it seems difficult if not impossible to feel a sense of connection in the relationship. This can lead to a strong sense of hopelessness, loneliness and frustration, as both partners do their best to cope with the situation. Often attempts to sort it out and renew the bond both partners are longing for, lead to an escalation of misunderstandings, resentments, arguments and further hurts, which drive the couple even further away from each other and into a spiral of hopelessness and alienation from the person they yearn to feel closest to.

EFT is a short-term (8-20 sessions) structured psychotherapy approach to working with individuals, couples and families.

Psychotherapy is a process which offers a non- judgemental and confid

Counselling or psychotherapy allows you to achieve greater self-understanding, heightened self-acceptance, improved relationships with others and greater control over your life. It helps you to clarify what you want from life, addressing your own needs, improving relationships with others, taking responsibility and regaining control: learning to live, risk

Welcome.  Sometimes being human isn't easy!  We can often find ourselves wondering what it's all about.  Finding answers to our questions can be difficult and sometimes when we are unsure it is a welcome relief to share feelings and ideas.  Often this is a daunting prospect and this is why I always work at the clients pace.  As people it is inevitable that we meet stresses and strains on our life journey.  Exploring and having a better understanding can help us to move forward, can help us to be less hard on ourselves and others, can help us to mind ourselves better in the face of adversity either past or present.  If you feel stressed, anxious, confused, depressed, at a crossroads, lost, lack confidence or are in the grip of unresolved trauma, an initial assessment may help.  It's good to talk and feel confidentially heard without judgement.   Ita is fully qualified holding a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a fully accredited member of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.  Therapy takes place in well managed, safe environments located in Rathfarnham and Lower Abbey Street.
