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.​​

Don't worry ill be sharing the deeper stuff too.. but this is the lighter side of what goes on in my head.. if it makes you smile or a bit more normal, then we will keep it going! 💚

Back on the greenway today… thought I was starting a health kick, turns out I was starting a negotiation with my lungs 😅

Not every walk is graceful—sometimes it’s just you, your thoughts, and a very fit dog living his best life.

But I showed up, I didn’t quit, and that counts.

Day one done 💪

Episode 137 -Would the younger you be proud?

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself..would the younger version of you be proud of who you are today?

In this episode of Talk Therapy with Anne I reflect on the idea of looking at our lives through the eyes of our younger selves. So often we focus on what we haven't achieved or where we feel we've fallen short. But what if the younger you could see the strength, resilience, and courage it

Episode 137 -Would the younger you be proud?

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself..would the younger version of you be proud of who you are today?

In this episode of Talk Therapy with Anne I reflect on the idea of looking at our lives through the eyes of our younger selves. So often we focus on what we haven't achieved or where we feel we've fallen short. But what if the younger you could see the strength, resilience, and courage it took to become the person you are
today?

This gentle conversation invites you to pause, reflect,
and perhaps see yourself with a little more kindness.

Now just to say — the two I’ve mentioned here, anxious and avoidant, are the ones I most commonly see coming into the room with me.

But they’re not the only ones.

There’s also secure attachment — which is the more balanced, steady way of relating… and that’s something we can all move towards.

And then there’s disorganised attachment — which can feel a bit like a mix of both… wanting closeness, but also feeling unsure or unsafe at the same time.

So if you’re listening and thinking, ‘I don’t fully fit into one box’…
that actually makes sense.

Most of us are a blend… and we can shift over time.”
