Summit Counselling and Psychotherapy

Summit Counselling and Psychotherapy Almost everyone at some point has felt lost in their life. It can feel like climbing a mountain. You can email, text or call to arrange a suitable time.

It could be ending of a relationship, anxiety over a job, grief of losing a loved one or feeling so depressed you have lost all hope. We can provide a space where you feel valued and understood, and you will feel safe knowing your experiences will be accepted. You can explore your experiences, at your own pace, creating a place for recovery and personal growth; allowing you to discover your path to the summit by becoming the person you are meant to be. We truly believe counselling changes lives, and we have accompanied many people on their journey up the mountain. We have seen the wonderful impact counselling has on people, in helping them find their way to make the changes they want, to enjoy life again. If you choose Summit as your companion, you can expect a warm, empathetic and authentic relationship based on trust. We are currently offering counselling via video, telephone and in person. We offer an initial free 50-minute consultation to understand your situation, and for you and your counsellor to decide if they are the right to accompany you on your journey. If I don’t respond immediately, I may be with a client and I will respond within 1 business day.

No one gets it.
Parents doing everything they can
and still feeling alone.
Your experience is different
and it matters.

Ever notice how many relationships struggle in January?

It’s rarely sudden.

It’s usually what’s been building for years.

More time together can make distance more obvious.
If this resonates, you’re not alone.

Does January change the way your relationship feels?

Nothing happened... or did it?

Christmas parties are usually harmless.
But every year in counselling in Swords, people can talk about the same kind of moment.

Not an affair.
Not betrayal.
Just a conversation that felt a bit closer than expected, and then didn’t quite leave their head afterwards.

This short video looks at how small moments at work Christmas parties can quietly affect relationships. Not because anyone planned it, but because emotional boundaries can shift without us noticing at the time.

If something hasn’t felt right since a Christmas party, or there’s been a bit of distance or tension at home, counselling can help you slow things down and understand what’s actually going on underneath it.

Friday 31st October | 1PM | Near FM 90.3

This Movember, our founder Sean Adams, Accredited Psychotherapist at Summit Counselling & Psychotherapy Swords, joins Life Unfiltered on Near FM to talk about the masks men wear and what happens when strength turns into silence.

From House of Guinness to Irish kitchen tables, the show explores how duty, legacy, and expectation shape men’s lives and how conversations can finally break the cycle.

💬 Tune in this Friday at 1PM for More Than a Legacy Men, Silence, and the Cost of Expectations.
Because silence might look strong, but connection keeps us alive.

If you caught last week’s House of Guinness carousel, you’ll know this story isn’t really about stout it’s about identity, silence, and the weight of living by someone else’s rules.

What happens when we stop living in the legacy we inherited and start discovering who we really are?

Arthur, Edward, Anne… all trapped by expectations.
But maybe you’ve felt that too — the pressure to stay inside a version of yourself that doesn’t quite fit anymore.

Counselling can be where that story starts to shift.
Where you get to ask, What if I’m more than the role I was given?

From legacy to identity — one honest conversation at a time.

🍺 Netflix’s House of Guinness isn’t just about a pint.
It’s about family expectations, secrets, and identity under pressure.

And that’s something many of us recognise.

👉 Being given a role you never chose.
👉 Hiding parts of yourself out of fear.
👉 Feeling trapped by walls you can’t see but definitely feel.

That’s where counselling comes in. It’s the space where you stop living under someone else’s blueprint and start creating your own.

Because identity, like Guinness, isn’t meant to be bottled up.

Missed it live? You can listen back 🎧

Our colleague Siobhán McCarthy, Pre-Accredited Psychotherapist at Summit Counselling, joined Life Unfiltered on Near FM last Friday to talk about Gender & Mental Health.

It’s a conversation that highlights why talking openly about identity and wellbeing matters in the community as much as in the counselling room.
