Welcome to Northern Star Counselling
Northern Star Counselling is a welcoming counselling and psychotherapy practice based in Errill, Co. Laois.
Our team of therapists supports children, adolescents, adults, couples and families through a wide range of life experiences and challenges. With different areas of experience and therapeutic approaches across our team, we aim to connect each person with support that fits their individual needs.
We believe therapy should never be one-size-fits-all. Our approach is warm, collaborative and neuro-affirming, providing a space where you can feel heard, understood and supported at your own pace.
How We Can Support You
Play Therapy
Child-centred play therapy for children aged 4–12, providing a safe and supportive space to explore emotions, experiences and challenges through play, creativity and imagination.
Adolescent Therapy
A supportive and understanding space for young people to explore emotions, relationships, identity, anxiety, neurodivergence and the challenges that can come with adolescence.
Adult Counselling
Individual counselling for adults experiencing anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, burnout, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and life changes, or for those simply looking for a safe space to talk.
Couples Therapy
A supportive space for couples to explore communication, connection, conflict, trust and relationship difficulties while developing a greater understanding of one another.
Family Therapy
Support for families experiencing difficulties with relationships, communication, change or conflict, creating space for different perspectives to be heard and understood.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy can support people in processing traumatic or distressing experiences and reducing the impact that past experiences continue to have in the present.
Parent Support
A confidential and non-judgemental space for parents to explore challenges, understand their child's needs and develop approaches that work for their individual family.
Areas of Support
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You do not need to have a diagnosis or know exactly what type of therapy you need before reaching out.
Our team provides support across a range of areas, including:
- Anxiety and stress
- ADHD and autism
- Neurodivergence
- Trauma and difficult life experiences
- Grief and bereavement
- Emotional regulation
- Burnout and overwhelm
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Relationship difficulties
- Family challenges
- Parenting and parent support
- Life transitions and change
- Identity and self-understanding
- School, social and friendship difficulties
- Low mood
Sometimes the starting point is simply knowing that things do not feel quite right and wanting a safe space to talk.
Our Multi-Sensory Play Therapy Room
Our dedicated multi-sensory play therapy room in Errill has been thoughtfully created to provide children with a safe, welcoming and engaging therapeutic environment.
The room offers opportunities for play, creativity, sensory exploration and emotional expression, allowing children to communicate and process experiences in ways that feel natural to them.
Our play therapy approach is child-led, gentle and neuro-affirming, recognising that every child experiences and communicates with the world differently.
Meet Our Team
Finding the right therapist can be an important part of feeling comfortable in therapy.
Northern Star Counselling brings together a team of therapists with different areas of experience, interests and therapeutic approaches. This allows us to consider the person behind each enquiry and help you find a therapist who may be a good fit for your individual needs.
Our Approach
At Northern Star Counselling, we recognise that every person and every family is different.
Our therapists draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, adapting therapy to the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a particular way of working.
Our approach is compassionate, collaborative and neuro-affirming. We aim to provide an environment where children, adolescents and adults can explore what is happening for them without judgement or pressure.
Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, your relationship or your family, we work with you to understand what you need and what type of support may be most appropriate.
