Psychotherapy & counselling · Portlaoise, Co. Laois

A calm, private place to work things out.

Psychotherapy, counselling and life coaching with Meree O Sullivan. In person, by phone or online.

Why people come

Most of us, at some stage, meet difficulties that affect our happiness, our relationships, our health or our work. Advice from family and well-meaning friends isn’t always enough. Sometimes we need something else.

In clients’ words

“Meree has given me my life back. I felt understood. She has taught me to cope with anger, loss and real pain. I no longer run from it or sweep it under the carpet.”

Joan, Carlow

“What started out as a purpose to help build a relationship with my children very quickly turned into something much bigger.”

Caroline, Laois

“I am now aware of how hard I was on myself. I was expecting myself to know everything and to solve everyone’s problems. Now I am kinder.”

Pauline, Laois

“She took the time to get to know the real me. She has guided me through very dark sadness.”

Paul, Carlow

“I learned how to speak about things that I wasn’t comfortable speaking to anyone else about.”

Teenager, group programme

“Relationships with my children, family and friends are far richer, more honest, caring and happy now.”

Valerie, Laois

“Now I don’t let people take me for granted. I organise myself before I take on others’ work and problems.”
