I firmly believe that people have the potential to understand themselves and resolve their own issues and see my role as providing a safe, non-judgemental space where self-exploration can take place. We will work together to identify and explore the challenges you face and find new and better ways to deal with difficult feelings and emotions. There is no ‘one size fits all’ in therapy, as all experiences are unique to each individual, so we will work together to find the approach that best suits your needs.

At Anne Rooney Counselling and Psychotherapy Sligo, your therapy might involve:

• Learning to sit with and process difficult emotions, rather than pushing them away

• Recognising the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour

• Recognising repeated patterns of behaviour and finding ways to change them

• Identifying negative thought patterns and changing them to more healthy ways of thinking

• Understanding the link between past and present experiences

• Learning to recognise bodily sensations and the message they might be conveying

• Developing a better understanding of yourself and developing self-compassion.
