Feale Counselling Service

Feale Counselling Service I'm Anne Higgins I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist based in Abbeyfeale co limerick. My name is Anne Higgins. I’d love to connect with you.

Accredited with IACP

Cert in Kinesiology

Podcaster -Talk therapy with Anne (Spotify)


​ I hold a BSc (Hons) and a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I qualified in 2017, and at the end of 2021, I followed my passion and set up my own private practice. Feale Counselling Service is based just outside Abbeyfeale, County Limerick. (Parking is available at the rear of the premises for your convenience.) I work with adults aged 18 and over, offering a professional, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns and feel supported as you move forward. Using an integrative approach tailored to each individual, I draw on methods such as person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and humanistic approaches. I support clients with a wide range of physical, emotional, and mental health issues. I am accredited with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). In addition to my psychotherapy work, I am:

* A certified Kinesiologist – offering a holistic approach that works with the body’s energy systems to identify and correct imbalances that may be contributing to stress or discomfort.

* Currently obtaining my Diploma in Body Healing Coaching – a body-focused practice that helps individuals reconnect with their bodies, release stored stress or trauma, and restore natural balance. It draws on movement, breathwork, somatic awareness, and emotional regulation to support both mental and physical healing.

* Trained in Pain Management techniques – helping clients understand the mind-body connection in chronic pain, and offering tools and strategies to manage and reduce pain naturally, often alongside or in support of medical treatment.

* Holder of a Diploma in Spiritual Counselling Skills – where I’ve received the necessary training to demonstrate competence and understanding in this field. This approach acknowledges the spiritual aspect of healing and well-being, offering clients space to explore deeper meaning, purpose, or connection in their lives—regardless of religious background.​​

learning to let go of control"

We've all being there - caught in our heads, replaying what was said and done wishing we could change the outcome. This short reflection explores what's really
happening when we cant stop trying to fix the unfixable, and how to gently bring ourselves back to calm when our mind refuses to let go.

I spent years believing the negative voice in my head was mine — until I learned in college that it was never my voice at all.

In this workshop, I’ll share the four phrases that shaped my inner critic growing up — including the one I still carry, but no longer allow to control me.

Don’t miss this chance — get on board, learn how to build your inner coach, and your future self will thank you.

The Truth about People Pleasing - often begins as a way to feel safe, loved, or accepted - especially if love once felt conditioned . Over time, it can leave you exhausted disconnected from your own needs and unsure of who you are without others' approval. This reflection invites you to pause, notice when you have been over giving, and begin to gently work of turning some of that care back toward yourself. Because yourworth isn't earned by keeping everyone else happy - it already exists within you.

🌿 Do you ever feel exhausted from arguing with your own mind?

There’s a voice in your head that:
• second-guesses everything,
• overthinks every decision,
• and convinces you that you’re not doing enough.

And maybe you start thinking

“Why can’t I just switch it off?”

You are not broken.
You are not dramatic.
And you’re definitely not alone.
Most of us have an inner voice that:
• pushes,
• pressures,
• and criticises…

But here’s the question:
👉 What if that voice isn’t you?
What if it’s just something you learned to survive?
And what if — with the right approach —
you could learn to change the tone of that voice?

Not silence it.
Not fight it.
But understand it… and shift it.
If this speaks to you…

If you're tired of feeling drained by your own thoughts…
If you’re ready to explore why the voice is there —
and what it might be protecting you from —
Then I’m hosting something special.
