About
Tadhg Ó Súilleabháin
I worked for twenty years in housing and social care in Cork before I trained as a counsellor and psychotherapist. I have had this room above the harbour since 2017, with two armchairs, a window onto the quay and a clock I can see from my chair.
Most people who come to me are carrying a loss or standing in the middle of a change. I do not hurry anyone. We sit, or sometimes we walk, and we find out together what helps.
He let me say it slowly, and he did not rush to fix it.
Before a first meeting
Questions people ask
How do I ask about a first meeting?
Send an inquiry with a few lines about what brings you. I reply within two working days. Your message comes only to me.
Do we have to meet in person?
No. I see people in the room above the harbour and online.
How long are the sessions?
Fifty minutes, at the same time each week or fortnight.
How do the guide and the course arrive?
After checkout you get an email with a link to the PDF or the video lessons.
At home
A guide and a course
For the time between sessions, or if Cork is too far. Both are what I say in the room, written down and recorded calmly.
Walking and talking
€49Six short lessons on using a walk to think things through, alone or with someone you trust, with a few questions for each route.
The letter
Notes on grief and change
A short letter once a month: one idea, one question to sit with and the weeks I have room.
