Empathy Counselling & Psychotherapy: Supporting you through life’s challenges


Support is available, and healing often begins with being truly heard
“Empathy is about finding echoes of another person in yourself.” – Mohsin Hamid.
As conversations around mental health continue to grow, the importance of safe, supportive spaces has never been more evident.
Empathy Counselling & Psychotherapy, based in Portlaoise, has been quietly providing such a space for over two decades.
Founded by Siobhan Galvin, the practice has evolved into a team of experienced, accredited and pre-accredited psychotherapists. Located discreetly off Grattan Street, it offers a warm, comfortable, and private setting where individuals can feel at ease.
At the heart of the service is the belief that effective counselling begins with an empathic and safe relationship—built on trust, openness and understanding.
Using a humanistic and integrative approach, each person is seen as a whole, with attention given to thoughts, emotions, physical experiences and the unconscious.
The aim is to support individuals in exploring their experiences and making meaningful changes toward a more fulfilling life.
The service supports adults (18+), couples and adolescents with a small number of low cost counselling sessions available for adults in financial difficulty.
During Mental Health Awareness Week, this work highlights a simple but powerful message: support is available, and healing often begins with being truly heard.
