Allen Gilhooly M.I.A.C.P, W.G.I.I., M.A. Counselling Psychotherapy, Cert Family Systems Therapy, H.Dip. Community & Youth Work, B.A. Theol
Originally from Fenagh in Co. Leitrim I moved to Dublin where I studied and worked there for nearly 20 years in schools and various community & family projects. My roles included Youth Work, Community Development Work, Teacher, School Chaplain (Lay) and Therapist. I returned to the Northwest in 2010 to set up my own private practice counselling & promoting mental well-being.
I provide a private Counselling Service in Sligo where my approach is common sensical and effective with a focus to help you get to where you want to be at whatever pace feels comfortable to you. I use a Pluralistic approach which involves working with models below in a collaborative way with the client.
Pluralistic Counselling, C.B.T. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person Centered Counselling, Choice Theory/Reality Therapy, Mindfulness, Family Systems Therapy, Motivational Interviewing
"My belief is that you have the ability to sort out whatever problems / difficulties in your life. Whilst we have family and friends to rely on, sometimes we are uncomfortable seeking help from these relationships. Experienced and trained people like myself can help by listening, supporting and most importantly without judging."
