Mr John Collins

Registered Psychotherapist

“An experienced, professional counsellor working predominantly with individuals and couples in Birr Co Offaly at 49 Pound Street.”

About Me

I offer a warm, confidential space where individuals and couples can explore challenges and find clarity. Together, we can gently unpack concerns, fostering understanding and strengthening communication. My approach helps you identify patterns, supporting you to navigate life’s complexities with renewed confidence. Sessions are designed to feel collaborative, providing a calm environment where your unique voice is deeply heard.

Approach

At my practice on 49 Pound Street in Birr, Co Offaly, I hold sessions in English that feel steady and paced to your needs, giving space for both immediate concerns and quieter reflection. Sessions tend to blend gently structured talking with practical, evidence-informed steps—short experiments, thought-tracking and clear communication exercises—to help you notice patterns around grief, anger, addiction or relationship strain. Between meetings I’ll offer simple reflections or short tasks to practise new ways of responding. This way of working often suits people seeking clear, calm progress together.
