Counselling & Psychotherapy

Welcome

John provides a safe, private, and supportive space where you can openly explore your feelings, experiences, and current life circumstances. Sessions are conducted in a fully confidential, non-judgemental environment, allowing you to speak freely and be truly heard.

Through careful, attentive listening and a gentle, humanistic approach, counselling helps you to:

  • Clarify what truly matters to you and what you want from life
  • Identify and honour your own needs
  • Regain a greater sense of control, agency, and inner direction
  • Develop personalised coping strategies and ways of relating to yourself and others

Rather than imposing solutions, the focus remains firmly on you — your unique process, pace, and strengths. This non-intrusive style creates a calm, relaxed atmosphere in which meaningful insight and emotional release can emerge naturally. Many clients gradually experience a growing sense of freedom, lightness, and reconnection with their authentic self.

Practice Locations & Accessibility

  • In-person sessions are held at Rose Cottage Holistic Therapy, a peaceful, private setting located in a quiet rural area, just 10 minutes from the M7 (Moneygall, Exit 23). The location has been intentionally chosen to offer tranquillity and privacy, helping clients feel at ease from the moment they arrive.
  • Online therapy is available for those who prefer or require the convenience and comfort of working from home.
  • International callers and clients are warmly welcomed and fully catered for.

If you would like to explore whether this approach feels right for you, you are invited to get in touch. A gentle first conversation can often be a helpful step toward greater clarity and wellbeing.



"We all go through changes in life at some stage that we may not be able to cope with on our own. I offer a relaxing setting to open up and release whatever is blocking life flow within. What maybe a major issue for you however when looked at the situation from a different set of lens by someone else may not be as big at all. Every problem has a resolution somewhere. It's normally within ourselves that problems start, then escalate from there. Thinking is one of our major problems that can lead us astray. When we change the way we think, generally change take place all around us. Most problems are fear based and when we take out the fear and work with it, love appears. Working out of love will take you far." John.

"John's ability to expertly mix professionalism with humility and calmness allowed me to work through my sessions in a safe and welcoming environment, giving ample time to reflect on progress. I am greatly indebted to him for all his work which has benefited me. "

"I'm a recovering alcoholic, 10 years sober. Past 2 years life was to say the least difficult and my sobriety was actually suffering. Didn't know what was wrong but knew something seriously was. Got in contact with John and from first call we connected. He's an amazing councillor, to say he's helped me find peace and serenity is an understatement. But as well as his unequiled professional skill he's also an ever better human being. Can't thank him enough for all he's done and continues to do with and for me. Would highly recommend 👌"

"Really Enjoyed working with John. From the very first session I felt heard, understood and supported. He created a safe and non judgmental space, where I could come each week and speak openly about my thoughts and feelings. He really helped guide my learning."

I’ve been attending counselling with John for several months now, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough. From the very beginning, I felt like I had stepped into a safe, non-judgemental space — somewhere I could just be, without pressure to explain everything perfectly or “fix” myself on a deadline. What stands out most is the incredibly gentle pace. Sessions never feel rushed. There’s no push to move faster than I’m ready for. Instead, John truly meets you where you’re at — whether that’s processing something heavy, sitting with silence, or simply figuring out what you need in that moment. If you’re looking for a place where you’re treated with genuine care and respect, and where healing is allowed to unfold in its own time, John offers exactly that. I’m so grateful to have found him.
