Alison Burnard Counselling and Psychotherapy

Alison Burnard MIAHIP - Counselling & Psychotherapy

Welcome, my name is Alison Burnard. I work as a Gestalt Psychotherapist and am based in Co. Clare. I support adults one-to-one, in person and online.

I appreciate the courage it can take to first realise you want support and then to reach out for it into the unknown. I have a lot of life experience I have worked through myself that is the basis for me to be as open, non-judgemental and sensitive with clients as I can.

What I Offer

I respect the autonomy and sovereignty of my clients in looking for the kind of support they want.  Sessions with me can take the form of conversing; being quiet and mindful moment-to-moment; or specifically using creativity (drawing; symbolic objects; writing; playing out situations with support; movement; dreamwork) all in the service of what you need most and only if it suits you.

Therapy can be short or long-term but it does require a committment to be yourself as you are. I know from personal experience this can be challenging but with support this is how growth happens. In doing my best to be present I can support you to be where you are, as you are ~ from this, a fuller understanding and compassion can naturally arise and the way forwards unfolds. I hope that working together with me will create a safe place where you can experience the benefits this can bring.
