Low Cost Counselling Services at Portlaoise Holistic Centre
At Portlaoise Holistic Centre, we understand that counselling services can be costly, and that many individuals and families may not have access to the support they need due to financial constraints. That’s why we are pleased to announce that we are now offering low-cost counselling services. This service may be provided by pre-accredited, fully trained counsellors.
A pre-accredited counsellor is a counsellor who is working towards accreditation with a professional counselling body. They have completed their counselling training and are gaining supervised experience to meet the criteria for accreditation. This stage is referred to as the “pre-accreditation” stage. Once the counsellor has completed their required hours of practice, they will be given full accreditation with their professional body.
How Low-Cost Counselling Works
Your counselling journey begins with an initial appointment where you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns, your goals, and what you hope to achieve through counselling.
Your counsellor will provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Rather than giving advice, your counsellor will help you gain greater self-awareness, develop healthy coping strategies and work towards positive change.
Our counsellors use a range of evidence-based approaches, including:
- Humanistic & Integrative Psychotherapy
- Person-Centred Therapy
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Mindfulness
- Solution Focused Integrative Therapy
Why Choose Our Low-Cost Counselling Service?
Our counsellors have successfully completed their professional counselling training and are currently working towards full accreditation with their professional body.
They receive regular clinical supervision and follow the same ethical standards and codes of practice as accredited counsellors. This allows us to offer a professional counselling service at a reduced cost while supporting newly qualified counsellors as they continue to develop their clinical experience.
