Recommend a good relationship counsellor?

    Hi,

    I really need some relationship counselling quickly and am hoping someone might be able to recommend a good counselleor they may have used themselves or heard of.

    For what must be the 6th or 7th time over the last 10 years or so I've just again this week finished a relationship with a girl after we reach the 10 month or so mark together. I seem to panic, feel like the walls are closing in and I just have to get out of there and in my head, feel free to breath. To say I'm terrfiied of commiting is an understatement, I just emotionally shut down. In the long run it's going to leave me nowhere and I'm hurting people as I go. It has to stop.

    I'm looking for a good counsellor in Dublin that might help. Ideally someone who's been practising for a good few years, someone with life experience so to speak and may have treated this before. I'm 39 and am probably a bit hesitant to go and speak to someone in their 20's who's just graduated. Maybe I'm being unfair here.

    Can anyone help?

    Honestly I don't think you would specifically need a relationship counsellor if you feel that the issue lies with yourself as opposed to you and your partner. Maybe I'm wrong but I would assume any counsellor would be ok for this issue. All the best.

    Most counsellors have experience when dealing with people and their relationship issues so any good therapist should be able to help. Just make sure they are accredited...go to http://www.irish-counselling.ie/ to find one that's accredited to the IACP. You can also see here what the therapist specialises in and find one in your area.

    Thanks, that's a good point, hadn't thought of it in that way.

    Hi, I really hope this works out for u. I'm assuming u like these girls u date. It's obviously causing u a certain amount of hurt too. Or maybe its possible u haven't met the 'right' girl. It's possibility something small which needs to be investigated/addressed. I think the fact that u realise there's a pattern will make the process easier. Unfortunately I've no recommendation for u as I don't live in the Dublin area, but the best of luck.
