Welcome to Andrea Sheehy Counselling Service’s first blog, a brand new departure for me in 2010!
My name is Andrea Sheehy and I am a qualified counsellor, specialising in marriage, couple and relationship counselling. I have been a counsellor for over 17 years. I enjoy working with people and especially couples. I believe everyone has a right to a healthy and happy relationship.
Don’t panic this isn’t going to be one of those blogs that tells everybody what I had for breakfast (I’m never really quite sure how that could be interesting !) This should go without saying really but for the sake of clarity I won’t be writing anything that compromises confidentiality either.
The purpose of the blog is to provide you with some up to date information, give you some extra insights into counselling, therapy, relationships and maybe offer some tips on how to create a healthy, loving and happy relationship.
I’m always interested in learning too, and see this blog as a chance for you to pitch in with your own comments, ideas and wish list for the website and blog.
As it’s a new enterprise I’m not sure how it will develop at this stage so I can’t say exactly what will be in it.
Like any relationship it will always be a work in progress!
Great new look for your site, and a great blog. Well done!

Congratulations on your new blog. We need more therapists blogging about relationships and how to improve them. I look forward to reading your posts! Cheers, Clinton

Thank you for taking the time to read through my posts Clinton.
I agree we do need a lot more information out there about counselling and in particular relationships and relationship counselling.

Hi Andrea,
I like your blog. I have a blog of my own, and I write about various aspects such as shame and bereavement (Current topics). I wrote a book on the death of a child, and I am now serialising it on my blog. We might exchange a few ideas from time to time. I am a counsellor based in County Tipperary Ireland, and I admire counsellors who write as well as counsel. it is a good way of helping people. I write for a local magazine, and have recently written a book on domestic violence, which I hope will be published next year.
every good wish,
Jim

Hi Jim,
I might be a bit biased of course, but isn’t Tipperary the best County!! Great to hear from you, it would be good to exchange ideas from time to time. I wish there were few more counsellors blogging and writing, there are still quite a few misconceptions about counselling and it’s important that people have a better understanding of both the process and how effective counselling can be
