Cosy Counselling & Reiki

24/03/2026

I know that when you're seeking a counsellor or therapist, you have a lot of questions. All therapists are different and it can get overwhelming deciding which one is for you. These slides tell you a bit about how I work. I combine: person-centred therapy, energy psychology, solution-focused therapy and neuroscience. I help you understand why you might be feeling or acting the way you are. I can also help you release the frozen energy structures that might be limiting your capacity for change. Then we can work on building your future - with you in the driver's seat. If you still have questions, you can book a 10-minute call with me. Reach out - you don't have to do this alone.

When you worry, you are stepping out of the present moment and into a future that may never exist. Most of the time, the things we worry about never come to fruition. Neuroscience tells us that worry can become habit. By breaking the habit, you program your brain out of rumination and back into celebration (gratitude). This is like putting your money into a savings account instead of gambling. Why pay off debts that have yet to be accrued. Set yourself free from worry by creating new mental habits. Interrupting your thoughts and replacing them with something more constructive is a good place to start. Don’t aim for perfection, aim for attention. Noticing is a great achievement in itself.

Sometimes we tend to get bogged down in bad news. It’s what they put on tv and in the papers after all. But what if you tried, just for one week, to shut out the bad news and instead searched for good news? I do this all the time - and there’s good reason for it. It doesn’t make me ignorant of what’s happening in the world. Anything important, I hear about from family or friends. What it brings me instead is peace and hopeful outlook. By actively seeking out good news, I fill my days with wonder and am comforted that there are so many people out there doing great things. Try it. I dare you!

This is the theme of my week. Clients, myself, family… as we get further into Spring, it’s like we’re all been called to let go of complacency and connect with that part of ourselves that wants more.

Just start 🌱✨️

How are you making space for joy in your life? With the return of the sun, warmth and flowers, comes an invitation to shine. Now is the perfect time to embrace something fun. Take a risk or be bold. Life is for living.

Sometimes we tend to hold ourselves back from success because of fear of judgment or failure. But it is in our nature to bloom, to grow, to inspire others. Our heart strives to be open, just like the petals of the blossom. Then the wind carries the petals of our influence far and wide to decorate and enrich the world. As Spring brings nature back to life, consider what is hibernating in you that it is ready to be seen again.

Today I experienced the best gift a counsellor can. A client walked out of my room smiling and said, “Wow! I feel so much better!” That’s energy psychology for you. What a privilege to do this work.

If you’ve been feeling weighed down by all the sogginess of winter, this is the perfect way to brush off the blues, wave farewell to the kids as they head back to school after the Easter break, and give yourself some lightness and peace.

Come join myself and Geraldine at Sukha Community Cahir - Yoga and Wellbeing and let us take care of you.

All levels welcome, DM or text/WhatsApp to book.

Integrity is where you show your best self in action. It’s more than honesty or truth. It’s alignment. It’s about knowing your values and walking that path with courage, even when the wind blows against you. A flower cannot be anything but itself. It cannot lie about its identity. It cannot swindle or cheat. It stands in it’a rawness and vulnerability, doing all it knows how to. The flower teaches us that fragility and softness can be powerful and grab our attention. Don’t be a thorn when you can be a flower.

This is so important. Anytime I work with individuals or groups safety and trust is my number 1 priority.

“I can bring my feelings to you…
and you won’t punish me for them.”

“I can tell you I’m hurt…
and you won’t shut down or attack.”

“I can be vulnerable…
and you’ll handle it with care.”
