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.​​

🎄✨ Surviving Christmas with Anxiety – My New Workbook Is Here

Every December, so many people tell me the same thing…

“Everyone else seems excited, but I just feel stressed.”
“I get overwhelmed so easily this time of year.”
“I wish I could enjoy Christmas, but my anxiety gets too loud.”

If this sounds like you — you’re not alone.
Christmas can be joyful, but it can also bring:
💭 Pressure
💭 Guilt
💭 Expectations
💭 Noise
💭 Crowds
💭 Emotional triggers

That’s why I created my new ‘Surviving Christmas with Anxiety’ Workbook — a calming, daily support guide to help you move through the season with more peace and grounding.

📘 What’s Inside

✨ Gentle daily journal prompts
✨ Emotional check-ins
✨ Simple grounding tools
✨ A place to release overwhelm
✨ Space to process thoughts safely
✨ Tips to reset when anxiety spikes
✨ Techniques to stay centred during busy days

It’s like having a small pocket of calm with you all month.

❤️ Who This Workbook Helps

*Anyone who finds Christmas overwhelming
*People with anxiety who crave structure and grounding
*Those who feel responsible for “holding everything together”
*Anyone needing a gentle, compassionate reset
*Someone who wants a quiet space in the chaos

💶 Price: €7.99

✨ Something new is beginning… gently, in your own time ✨

On Saturday, January 3rd, I’m opening the doors to my 10-𝘿𝙖𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚 🌱
And before your mind jumps to “I’ll never keep up” — let me reassure you straight away:
👉 There’s no panic to start on that exact day.
You can begin anytime that suits you.

Once you join, you’ll have access to my private group, with all of my guidance, reflections, and updates there for you to return to whenever you’re ready. This is about resetting gently, not pressuring yourself.

Over the 10 days, we’ll be exploring small but powerful shifts — the kind that help you reconnect with yourself, your thoughts, and your emotional wellbeing. I won’t give it all away here… but if you’ve been feeling a bit stuck, overwhelmed, or just craving a fresh inner reset, this may be exactly what you need.

✨ More details are in the link below ✨

This Online zoom workshop is a gentle, compassionate space to explore where our patterns began, how they still show up today, and how we can begin to meet ourselves with kindness instead of criticism.
✨ Spaces are limited, so early booking is advised.

✨ Something gentle is starting… and there’s no pressure attached ✨
On Saturday, January 3rd 2026, I’m opening the doors to my 10 Day Reset Challenge 🌱

This isn’t about perfection, strict rules, or “failing by day 3.”
It’s about pausing, resetting, and reconnecting with yourself in a way that actually feels doable.
And just to say this clearly —
👉 If Saturday doesn’t suit you, there is absolutely no panic.
You can start anytime that feels right for you.

Once you join, you’ll have access to my private group, where all the updates, guidance, and support are — ready for you whenever you need to come back to them. Think of it as something you can return to, not keep up with.

I’ll be sharing:
• simple daily resets
• gentle mindset shifts
• space to reflect without overwhelm
• support that meets you where you are
I won’t give it all away here 😉

💛 Also coming up…
On January 14th, I’ll be holding a very special online zoom workshop:
✨ Healing the Inner Child – Learning to Love Yourself When You’ve Never Been Shown How ✨
This is a deeper, more intimate space where we gently explore the parts of us that learned to survive instead of feel safe — and how that shows up in our adult lives, relationships, and self-talk.
🪑 Limited spaces available
This one is small on purpose, so if it’s calling you, I’d encourage you to book sooner rather than later.
