Approach and services
Ms. Feehan offers individual, couples and adolescent counselling and psychotherapy in Fermoy, Co. Cork, and online.
For couples, her specialist training supports work on communication, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, premarital and marital questions, separation and divorce, and the effect of life changes such as becoming parents. Sessions aim to help each partner understand the patterns between them and decide together what they want for the relationship.
Her training in adolescent studies and adolescent Gestalt therapy supports work with young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, self-esteem difficulties, family conflict or difficult transitions. Work with adolescents is arranged with appropriate consent and attention to safeguarding.
For individual adults, she works with anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, low self-esteem, codependency and life transitions, drawing on her experience in HSE mental health services. Trauma, domestic abuse and sexual abuse are approached with attention to safety and pacing.
She also supports people living with chronic illness, those experiencing perinatal or postnatal difficulties, and those grieving the loss of a pet. Counselling is not an emergency service; anyone at immediate risk should contact 112 or 999, or Samaritans on 116 123.
A first appointment is usually used to discuss what has prompted the person to seek support, to agree goals, and to explain practical arrangements such as session length, frequency, fees, cancellation and the limits of confidentiality. Confidentiality is maintained except where there is a serious risk of harm to the client or others, or where disclosure is required by law, and these limits are explained at the outset.
The number of sessions varies from person to person and is reviewed together over time. People are free to ask questions about the approach being used, to raise any concerns about how the work is going, and to end the work at any point. Choosing a practitioner is a personal decision, and it is reasonable to make initial contact with more than one practitioner before deciding.
Practitioners listed in the ICPHAA directory work within the scope of their category of membership and refer on where a client's needs are better met by another service, such as a general practitioner, community mental health team or specialist agency.
Appointments with Ms. Feehan can be arranged through telephone or email. This profile lists an individual session fee of €70 and a couples session fee of €100; fees, cancellation terms and availability should be confirmed directly with the practitioner before the first session.
