I have a long association with Thurles, and am pleased that I have established a counselling centre there to cater for people in Co. Tipperary and these areas.

I am intensely interested in helping to relieve human distress, and in my counselling centre in Thurles, Co. Tipperary I can help you with many painful issues, such as bereavement, suicide bereavement, toxic or core shame, depression, abuse (verbal, physical, emotional/psychological, financial, sexual, workplace or neighbourhood bullying) and other issues outlined below. I operate a blog from my centre in Thurles, and you are most welcome to discuss issues with me on the blog.

I love working with childhood issues, and how our childhood forms our adult personality, how it can help to shape a happy joyful adulthood, or a pain filled adulthood marked by low self-esteem and sometimes self-hatred. I am interested in anxiety, and how it arises and how to deal with it. I am interested in relationship difficulties, self-esteem, stress and anxiety.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for an initial discussion. You will always be most welcome at my counselling centre in Thurles, Co. Tipperary.

Publications

When A Child Dies, Footsteps of a Grieving Family

This is a book about the death of a child and was published in February 2008. Due to heavy demand it was reprinted in July 2008. Because the death of a child evokes widespread sympathy, the Irish Examiner and the Farmers Journal devoted a full feature to the book. The trauma following the death of a child was discussed for an hour on the Gerry Ryan Show by Jim O'Shea and his son, Bill.

The royalties from this book are given to the Children's Hospital in Crumlin.
