    Hey Toodles_27 if you have VHI health insurance or any of your family have it then you have access to free counseling its called EAP or Employee Assistance Programme as its known, if you dont have access to VHI then the Samaritans could help or Pieta house or even a group called Concern hold meetings on a Wednesday night i think near ST Michaels church on Denmark Street, depending on what kind of counselling is needed im sure there is somwhere or someone thant can help with what your looking for, i have used the VHI programme and found it good, if you need info on anything else or even just want to talk to someone give me a shout on this all confidential of course, hope i was some help

    Just be aware that Samaritans are not counsellors, they cannot give advice. They will listen to you and explore your feelings and are always there when you are in distress or despair.

    I know someone who used Oakwood Counselling services out near UL and said they were good. I think it was 40 Euro a session, each session was 40/45 mins.

    Hope you get sorted whichever way you decide.
