Client Testimonials
“We came to see Deborah at a very difficult time in our relationship. We were tired of the constant fighting and were considering splitting up after five years together. Deborah helped us untangle the deep feelings and emotions that were getting in the way of a healthy relationship. It sounds silly now, but even though we are both highly educated, we didn’t understand at the time how our individual family histories, which included growing up in a family with domestic violence and suffering from traumatic brain injury, affected the way we interacted and how we viewed each other and our relationship. After seeing Deborah initially every week, then every fortnight or monthly, we felt that a huge weight lifted off our shoulders, and our relationship started to improve. Counselling with Deborah provided a safe space and guidance to explore our feelings and to understand each other. Now we are feeling positive about each other and our marriage. We are even considering starting a family and feel optimistic about our future. We thank Deborah immensely for her help and would recommend her to anyone facing challenges in their personal lives or relationships.”

“Since being diagnosed with Endometriosis three years ago, working with Deborah has been a key element in my healing process. The sessions have greatly benefitted me physically, emotionally and mentally, but most of all it has helped me to better understand the connection between the mind and the body and through this understanding I have begun to heal myself. I found through the counselling that having an impartial and compassionate person to talk to, especially at the times when I felt like giving up, helped me to release negative energy and focus on the way forward. I highly recommend Deborah’s services to anyone dealing with illness, stress and/or emotional trauma, as I have gained immense help and healing from them.”

“I have participated in some of Deborah’s healing groups for women with reproductive issues for the past few years and found it to be a place where I could talk openly about my experiences and feel completely understood. Deborah’s clinical knowledge of the female cycle, combined with her understanding of complementary therapies provides an environment where female issues can be shared with emotional support, guidance and advice. Deborah carefully prepares the therapy space and the stresses of the day start to fade as soon as you walk in the treatment room. As a very busy teacher and practicing artist, I found the group to be an oasis for me in the midst of a world that doesn’t stop just because you are having a difficult period! The group also provided wonderful emotional connections with other women who were having similar issues.”

“When our marriage was at a crossroads, we reached out to Deborah as a final option to see if we could save it. Deborah helped us understand how our past shapes who we are individually and how we bring this to our relationships. Her calm and comforting demeanour made it easy to open up and discuss our issues. We were quite surprised by how quickly we were able to overcome the obstacles in our marriage. She gave us the tools to help guide us towards a healthier relationship and to be able to deal with life’s challenges. Thank you again Deborah, we couldn’t have done this without you.”
A & J, Couples Counselling
“When we first sought couples counselling, our marriage was suffering due to an enormous amount of stress and we really didn’t know where to go or who to see but knew we needed help. When I spoke to Deborah on the phone I immediately felt we found the right person for us. On the way to our first session we had a lot of emotions happening but we were soon put at ease meeting Deborah. It can be a very confronting process talking about how we got to this point and why, but Deborah listens, offers fantastic support in a safe environment but most importantly without judgement. We have found our sessions to be an enormous help to us as individuals and our marriage. I’m not sure we would be writing this together today had we not had Deborah’s help”.

“I was experiencing bouts of depression and the counselling services that Deborah Sheehy provided me with have helped me enormously. Deborah is very sensitive to the needs of her clients and really helped me to find and understand the thread of my own story within myself. The psychological strategies she introduced me to, including the mindfulness techniques, assisted me greatly in responding in a much healthier way to the triggers to the depression. I have come away with a better understanding of myself and a significant improvement in my symptoms which has had a positive impact in many areas of my life.”

“I have known Deborah Sheehy for many years and first met her at the Endometriosis Society that she founded in Ireland. She was the first person who understood what I was going through and in her gentle, unobtrusive way, she guided me onto the most wonderful personal healing journey that has enriched my life ever since. For anyone in pain, despair, grief or feeling that you cannot cope, you will be placing yourself in the hands of a genuinely caring and very experienced and professional Counsellor when you go to Deborah for therapy. I know she will enrich your life as she has enriched mine.”
Patricia Scanlan, Author, Dublin, Ireland
“Prior to working with Deborah Sheehy, I was suffering with anxiety as well as low self-esteem and feeling depressed following a traumatic incident. The work with Deborah helped me to heal and understand myself better. It also provided me with tools to use to help me take control of my life and work towards creating the life I truly want. Deborah has a very kind nature. She has empowered me to build my future on my terms and not be shackled to old traumas or conditioning, some of which I wasn’t even aware of how much it was holding me back. I have a renewed sense of self-worth, something I have lacked all my life. I will be forever grateful to Deborah”
Dee, Health Care Provider
“Deborah Sheehy has a very nurturing and gentle nature, providing a safe and relaxing atmosphere to open up in and has helped me to make important life decisions. After a number of sessions of counselling I felt I had moved out of a rut of negativity, depression and indecision and was much clearer about the direction I wanted to take in my life.”
