Everybody experiences challenges at some time or another in life that can be difficult or overwhelming. Home or work life can cause stress, anxiety over uncertainties of the future, bereavement, problems with addiction, relationship difficulties or even a general feeling of unhappiness or helplessness.
These are just some of the issues in life where counselling can help - where you get to talk to a professional counsellor. At Blanchardstown Community Counselling Service Ltd we provide confidential and professional help by working with you and the difficulties you face.
In counselling and psychotherapy you are given the support and safety to explore, understand and change thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviours.
You can expect to talk to a trained professional about the issues that are affecting your life. Every person is affected by their surroundings and environment and a counsellor is trained to understand and focus on that individuality. The personal growth that takes place can free you from the limitations of old patterns and can give you a new lease of life.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is commonly known as CBT.
CBT is a talking therapy based on scientific methods. CBT is an effective treatment for reducing the symptoms of almost all mental health problems, and it can be especially effective for anxiety and depression. When used to treat anxiety disorders it has also been found to improve overall quality of life.
CBT can help you to stop negative cycles of thoughts, behaviours and emotions by helping you to notice what is making you feel anxious, unhappy, or frightened and helping you to manage these factors. By helping you to work out what to change to improve your mood, CBT can allow you to take control of your mental health.
CBT is based on the concept that how we think, act, feel, and experience in our bodies all interact together.

Generally speaking, sessions are held on a weekly basis to build and maintain the therapeutic relationship, which in turn improves the quality of the therapeutic process. When a client and therapist can consistently build a framework of safety and trust, a space is created for the exploration involved in making deep, lasting change.
Counselling and psychotherapy is a totally confidential service in almost all situations. However, it is important to point out that in certain circumstances ethical and legal obligations must be considered, such as the Child Protection Act protects the rights and welfare of children and minors. The therapist will fully explain confidentiality to you in the first session/assessment.
In the event of the need to cancel a session, it is important that the client contacts Blanchardstown Community Counselling Service Ltd as soon as possible. The Blanchardstown Community Counselling Service Ltd cancellation policy is 24 hours; this is explained to the client at the assessment.
Yes, it's possible to see either a female or male therapist. We will attempt to match your requirements as much as possible but please bear in mind that this can be subject to availability of therapists and days/times.
