What is Counselling and Psychotherapy
Counselling/Psychotherapy is for anyone. It is time and a safe supportive space set aside with a trained professional to explore issues, often deeply personal, which are causing distress in life. At times in our lives we can experience events or circumstances which can leave us worried, anxious, confused, angry or sometimes overwhelmed. Change can appear too challenging or sometimes impossible. At other times we can feel stuck or unable to overcome issues arising from our pasts, unable to communicate what we want or need, or how we feel. We are left struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression and low self worth or confidence and shame and it can feel others don't or cannot understand. As difficult as these circumstances may be, they can also be pivotal turning points in our lives, teaching us greater happiness, growth and acceptance. I provide counselling to people experiencing these events in their lives, providing emotional grounding and safety, acceptance, empathic listening and constructive, solution focused approaches to achieving goals and outcomes that better benefit you the client and those you care about in your life.
ABOUT ME
My name is Anita Furlong and I am Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Supervisor, accredited with IACP and a Clinical Associate with Pink Therapy, London, UK. I am based in private practice in Waterford. I use an integrative Humanistic approach incorporating Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Brief Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. Integrative Psychotherapy covers the many different aspects of human behaviour and functioning. Interventions in integrative psychotherapy are based on the notion that no single approach is effective or even adequate for every client. Instead, each approach offers some perspective into an aspect of the client's behaviour. My qualifications include a BA in Counselling and Psychotherapy, Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Diploma in Integrative Supervision. I act as a collaborator, working with my clients to co-create a therapeutic approach that best suits their needs and goals.
As well as being accredited with IACP, I am an Advanced Accredited Gender, Sex and Relationships Diversity Therapist and Supervisor.

First Contact
Oakleaf Counselling offers an initial 30 minute consultation at the cost of €30 for individuals. Because entering into counselling can be a frightening idea, it is important that you feel comfortable with your counsellor. This initial consultation will give you a chance to meet me and to ask any questions you may have about counselling. From this you can make a decision on starting therapy.
