MAKING SENSE OF LOW MOOD
When you no longer
feel like yourself.
Low mood can make ordinary tasks feel heavy. You may withdraw, lose interest, become highly self-critical or feel disconnected from other people. Low self-esteem can leave you doubting your judgement, comparing yourself with others or accepting situations that do not feel right.
Sometimes there is an obvious reason. At other times, the feeling has built gradually or has been present for so long that it seems part of who you are.
WORKING TOGETHER
What we can explore
Counselling offers a place to speak honestly about how you are feeling and to notice the patterns that shape your relationship with yourself. We may explore criticism, shame, loss, difficult relationships, unmet needs or experiences that have affected your sense of worth.
We can look at how you judge yourself, where those beliefs came from and what you want to change.
Understand your inner voice
Notice the patterns in how you speak to yourself.
Explore what has shaped you
Talk about experiences that have affected your confidence and sense of worth.
Consider what could change
Identify steps you want to take.
Working at your pace.
Some sessions may focus on what is happening from week to week. Others may look more deeply at where beliefs and patterns began. We will agree the focus together and review whether the work is helping.
A CALM PLACE TO BEGIN
Talk about how you’ve been feeling
You don’t need a diagnosis or a clear explanation for how you feel. A short message is enough to ask about counselling.
About Marie How counselling worksQuestions about counselling
Do I need a diagnosis to begin counselling?
No. You do not need a diagnosis or a complete explanation of what you are feeling before getting in touch. We can begin with what you notice now and discuss the support that may be appropriate for you.
Can we explore confidence and self-esteem?
Yes. We can make space for self-criticism, confidence and the experiences that have shaped how you see yourself. We will agree the focus together and work at a pace that feels manageable.
Can we meet online?
Online counselling may be an option if you are in Ireland and have a suitable private space. We can discuss your circumstances, privacy and suitability before beginning. Read about online counselling.
When additional
support is needed.
Counselling is not a crisis service. If you are at immediate risk of harming yourself or cannot keep yourself safe, call 112 or 999 or go to the nearest emergency department.
