About Me

Hello, my name is Brona Russell, welcome to Soundings Therapy and Counselling Services for the greater Meath and North East region of Ireland.

I provide professional confidential counselling services, through a person-centered approach which ensures your active participation in the counselling process, exploring thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviours that affect your life.

 

My training is in integrative psychotherapy, primarily person-centred, which places the relationship between the client and the therapist at the core of the work we do together. I recognize that there is no ‘one size fits all’ form of therapy, therefore every session is tailored to the specific goals and needs of each client.

 

Incorporated within my person-centred approach, I integrate aspects of Humanistic philosophy, Reality Therapy, Attachment Theory, Transactional Analysis, Existentialism,   Family Systems Theory, Narrative Therapy, Psycho-education, mindfulness and CBT, to deliver the best fit for each client.

​

My goal is always to empower each client to develop and grow their own sense of individuality in their world. I believe in each of my clients and their abilities to become the best of whom they can be.

 

I work with individuals across a broad range of concerns including, but not limited to; Depression, Anxiety, Bereavement, Loss, Grief and Separation, Family and relationship concerns, Abuse/Trauma, Sexual and sexuality issues, Self-harm, Suicidal feelings, Terminal illness, Addiction.
