Cork Counselling and Therapy
Helen O' Donovan
BSc. Counselling and Psychotherapy
Based in Cork city centre and Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, I offer in-person and online counselling and psychotherapy.
The Client
I never ask a client "what's wrong?" I may ask you to tell me a little bit about what has been going on for you. Every client has a unique situation and unique reasons for deciding they want to come to therapy. While certain issues may be universal in nature e.g. anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues (including friendships and work colleagues), struggles with self-esteem, long-term or terminal illness, my experience has taught me that each person's way of coping with them is as unique as their personality and circumstances.
You do not need to have figured out what it is you want from therapy when you contact me. Take that pressure off yourself and allow us to figure out what the work may look like together.
Whether you have been referred to me by your GP, recommended by a friend or seen my Psychology Today profile you can contact me whatever way you like (see Contact page for options). When you reach out to me, we will arrange to have a brief telephone conversation to explore your needs and both of our availabilities for a session. You can ask any questions you may have.
