A place to talk without judgement

Counselling and psychotherapy give you protected time to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be difficult to carry alone. Some people come with a particular concern, while others know only that life feels heavy, confusing or out of balance.

John offers a warm and non-judgemental relationship where you can speak honestly. The purpose is not to force a quick answer. It is to understand your experience more clearly, recognise patterns and support changes that fit your own values and circumstances.

02

What you can bring to therapy

There is no correct starting point. You might want support after a loss or traumatic event, with anxiety or low mood, with adapting to disability, or with confidence and pressure in sport. You might also want to build healthier coping skills during a demanding period.

  • Anxiety, worry, panic or persistent tension
  • Depression, low mood, numbness or reduced motivation
  • Grief, bereavement, trauma and difficult transitions
  • Physical impairment, identity change or accident recovery
  • Stress, overwhelm and coping skills
  • Sports confidence, focus, pressure and injury adjustment
03

How John works

John’s approach is humanistic and person-centred. Empathy, authenticity and respect are central to the work. Rather than treating you as a list of symptoms, therapy considers the whole person and the meaning your experiences have for you.

The first session is an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy, what you hope may change and whether working together feels right. You remain free to ask questions about the process at any stage.

Common questions

Questions About Counselling & Psychotherapy Meath

Is counselling different from psychotherapy?

The terms overlap and are often used together. Both involve confidential conversation with a trained therapist. The focus and depth of the work depend on your needs rather than the label used.

How do I know if John is the right therapist for me?

Feeling safe, respected and able to speak openly matters. You can contact John with questions before booking, and the first session lets both of you consider whether the working relationship feels suitable.

Are sessions confidential?

Therapy is private and confidential within professional and legal limits. John can explain confidentiality and its limits clearly at the beginning of the work.

Can I attend online?

Yes. One-to-one online sessions are available as well as face-to-face appointments in Kilmainhamwood, Co. Meath.

Need urgent help?

Sunrise Wellness Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is about to be harmed, phone 112 or 999 or go to the nearest emergency department.
