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.​​

If you don’t really know what you want,
what you like,
or even who you are…

it’s often because you spent years adapting to what other people needed you to be.

Losing yourself wasn’t a failure — it was survival.
And finding yourself again?

That’s allowed to be slow, curious, and kind.

💫There comes a moment when you realise clarity isn’t found in conversations with people who live in chaos.

💫You stop over-explaining to those who only hear what suits them.
Not because you stopped caring — but because you finally understood that self-respect doesn’t argue.

It whispers.

It looks like silence.
Boundaries.
And walking away without needing to be understood.

Growth isn’t loud or dramatic.
Sometimes it’s choosing yourself quietly…
even when your heart feels it the most.

I’ve created a relaxed, supportive space for men of all ages in our community — where talking is optional, listening is enough, and there’s no pressure or judgement.

I know it can feel uncomfortable or even weak to show up, especially if you know me personally as a neighbour, friend or a familiar face - All familiar faces are very welcome and often help everyone settle including myself ☺️

But please know this: knowing me doesn’t exclude you — it actually makes you more than welcome.

This space is simply about knowing you’re not alone. Sometimes just showing up is enough.

Everyone deserves to be heard.

at 3am-The night-time Brain Meeting

The Night-Time Brain Meeting is that uninvited 3am mental gathering where your brain suddenly decides now is the perfect time to revisit past conversations, imagine future disasters, and solve problems that
don't actually need solving. It's overthinking fuelled by exhaustion - not wisdom - where anxiety feels urgent, perspective is missing, and nothing discussed will feel half as important by morning

𝙈𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙙 60+ — 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪.

Life at this stage can look settled from the outside, yet inside there can be a lot going on.

💢 You may be adjusting to retirement or a change in routine.
💢 You may feel a loss of purpose, structure, or identity after years of providing and showing up for others.
💢 You may be carrying grief — for loved ones, for health, for opportunities that passed.
💢 You may feel lonely, even when surrounded by people.
💢 Or you may simply be wondering, “What now?”

This workshop offers a calm, supportive space to pause, reflect, and talk — at your own pace, in your own way.

There is no pressure to share, no expectations, and no judgement.

It’s about understanding your thoughts, emotions, and experiences — and recognising that it’s never too late to focus on your own wellbeing.

𝙈𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙙 46–60 — 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪!.

This stage of life can be quietly challenging.
You may be carrying years of responsibility, showing up for others, and pushing through — often without space to pause and ask *how am I actually doing?*

You might be navigating:
💢 Changes in relationships or family dynamics
💢 Children growing up or leaving home
caring for ageing parents
💢 Health concerns or loss
💢 Work pressures or identity shifts
💢 A sense of loneliness, emotional fatigue, or feeling unseen

This workshop offers a calm, supportive space to slow things down, reflect, and reconnect — without pressure to speak or explain yourself.

There is no judgement, no fixing, and no expectation — just space to be heard in whatever way feels right for you.

This is part of the Men’s Wellbeing Project, with dedicated evenings for different age groups.
If this night isn’t your fit, there are others designed specifically for different stages of life.

𝙈𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙙 26–45 — 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪!.

This stage of life can carry a lot.

💢 Work pressure.
💢 Relationships.
💢 Fatherhood or the hope of it.
💢 Financial stress.
💢 Burnout.
💢 Loneliness.
💢 Feeling behind.
💢 Wondering “Is this really it?”

Many men in this age group are holding everything together on the outside while carrying a lot quietly on the inside — often feeling they should be coping better or shouldn’t need support.

The Men’s Wellbeing Project 2026 is offering a dedicated night for men aged 26–45, creating a safe, supportive space to explore emotional wellbeing, understand stress and burnout, and realise you are not alone in how you feel.

There is no pressure to speak.

No judgement.

Just space to breathe, reflect, and be heard — at your own pace.

There are also dedicated nights for other age groups, because different stages of life bring different challenges.

Episode 124 "The Voice You Inherited"

A gentle reflection on how the inner voice we live with is often inherited from past experiences, expectations and conditioning - and how awareness gives us the power to soften it, challenge it, and choose a kinder way forward.
