A look back to reopening the centre in June 2020
Louise • Oct 22, 2021
It was great to get back face to face
Exciting news, We Have re-opened!
Although our services never stopped throughout the Lockdown, our therapists worked tirelessly to assist all clients and insure they still had access to counselling via telephone sessions, and video link. It is still nice to know we are getting somewhat back to normality. We now have the ability to facilitate those who have found the isolation extremely difficult, and we are in a position to give them back a sense of connection that a face to face session can give. However, we will continue to provide Telephone and video sessions, so as to maximise the services available to our clients.
We are very grateful that we are able to meet the stringent, but very necessary guidelines set down to provide counselling in a safe environment, to protect both client and therapist. The rooms are large enough to allow the two-metre distance between therapist and the client. Clients will remain in their car until the therapist calls them in and the centre will be sanitised between clients.
Our Therapists have a wide range of skills, extensive training and many years of experience to offer. Our student programme ensures that we can provide a low-cost counselling option too.
Westmeath Counselling service is located at Lemongrove, Gaybrook, Mullingar. More information about our services we can offer and the therapists who provide it, can be found on our website at: www.westmeathcounsellingservice.ie or Call 0879067505
Getting out of the house and seeing the blackthorns and lime tree opposite our cottage induces a response in me that I can only describe as a neuronal sigh of relief : an unseen , silent reaction in the brain that is simultaneously soothing and curative . ( Mitchell , 2019, p . 5)
