Treatment for Depression Ireland

It can sometimes be a challenge working to identify the best service for you. If you would like to learn more about Ahead of Health, you can visit us on Facebook at 'Ahead of Health Counselling and Psychotherapy'. On Facebook you will find our weekly posts and hopefully  be able to gauge from our posts and contributions from our online community if we are the right service for you. Ahead of Health is a confidential service based in the beautiful coastal town of Howth. If you have  any questions please call us at any time and we would be happy to help you identify the best support for your needs. Here we value deeply the importance of good mental health which is increasingly challenged with the pressures of modern living. Many issues can affect how we feel. Stress, depression, uncertainty, sexuality, anxiety, grief, anger, loneliness, addiction and relationship challenges can arise and sometimes we feel alone and our world can start to feel overwhelming but with the right supports it is possible to change this. Our goal at Ahead of Health is to work with you in your pursuit of inner peace and greater personal fulfilment. This is founded on a basis of respect, confidentiality and a belief that everyone has the ability to break through what is holding them back from being who or where they want to be in life.

I am available for short term counselling as a way of supporting you with a specific problem or situation or long-term psychotherapy supporting you deepen your understanding of yourself and your relationships with others, uncovering thoughts, beliefs, assumptions and emotional reactions and responses possibly outside of your conscious awareness.

Facilitating a self-discovery process where you can begin to gain insights, build awareness and promote growth and healing. I offer a safe non-judgmental environment, supporting you using an integrative and humanistic approach which is developmentally based, person-centred focused, drawing on and incorporating techniques from psychodynamic, psychosynthesis, CBT and solution focused concepts and theories as needed to meet your individual therapeutic needs.

Hello, I’m Eimear Scully and I’ve been working as a counsellor and psychotherapist in Leixlip village for almost 15 years. I have a depth of knowledge and experience in many areas including childhood trauma, attachment, co-dependency, adoption, relationships, difficult dynamics within family relationships, workplace issues, stress, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, depression, existential and transpersonal issues. I'm trained to be able to help you process whatever issue is troubling you. If you’ve been feeling stuck, confused or alone these feelings are more common than you may realise. It helps to understand, process and reframe the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that have brought you here and how we can work to resolve them together. I believe that each person is completely unique and will require an individual treatment approach. While I’m trained in person-centred integrative therapy, I also have extensive experience using mindfulness based approaches to build personal awareness and the life skills you will need to effectively deal with whatever arises in your life. Get in touch and together we can discuss what it is your hoping to achieve from therapy and we can build the positive conditions for the life you truly want to live.

How Therapy Can HelpOur emotions dictate and determine how we see the world. When you have control over your emotions you have control over your behaviour. When we become anxious, distressed, depressed or living in fear, the rational part of our brain is suppressed and the emotional brain takes over. We become time travellers trapped in the past ruminating, worrying, restless and agitated, driving us to despair with guilt, shame, secrets and unresolved business.  Glimpses of the future may be glimpses of catastrophe, hopelessness and emptiness.  As your counsellor I am here to listen to you, to guide you and to bring to your awareness alternative ways of being in the world. Collaborative counselling can bring insight and access to your imagination and your own forgotten inner strengths. You can change your life trajectory. You can find your personal path and spread it with peace, well-being, balance and spiritual wholeness.
