What is Counselling?
Person Centred Counselling
Person centred therapy offers a non directive approach to counselling, focusing on building a supportive and empathic relationship between the client and therapist, in order to facilitate transformation. The Person Centred Approach believes that all human beings have the potential to self actualise and become more fully functioning when equipped with the right conditions.
As a person centred counsellor, together we will explore your emotional distress in a safe, confidential and supportive relationship, which gently pushes you towards personal growth and healing. Although person centred counselling likes to stay away from diagnostics and labels and be led by the client, I am able to work with many presenting issues and integrate other modalities into the counselling sessions, as and when required e.g. CBT exercises or Solution Focused work. Together we build a tailored therapy that tends to your needs.
TESTIMONIALS
Genuine feedback from past clients I have worked with
“Working with Sinead has truly been a transformative experience. From the very beginning, she created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt completely comfortable being open and honest. In return I received care and compassion and guidance
Through her guidance, I’ve been able to shift my mindset in ways I didn’t think were possible. She helped me uncover perspectives I hadn’t seen before and showed me that the life I want—and already have—is possible. Her support has been instrumental in helping me reconnect with myself and navigate challenges with more clarity and strength.
I am deeply grateful for the care, empathy, and insight she consistently brought to our work together. I can wholeheartedly say that she has changed my life for the better.”

What Can Counselling Help You With?
Counselling can help you with a range of issues, whether it be mental health issues such as anxiety or depression, or adjusting to a difficult life stage, dealing with grief, everyday stress, or simply just wanting to improve communication skills, wanting to figure out your life direction, or even kick start your personal development and improve your confidence. Either way, counselling allows you to talk openly and safely with a trusted professional. Person-centred counselling goes at your pace, so whether it's just 1 session, 6, or even 50, counselling is catered to your needs and allows you to explore, unpack, process and make sense of who you are and the experiences you've been through. It also gives you the opportunity to develop new skills, gain more awareness and navigate challenges with support.
Supporting Women's Rights
As an advocate for self love, self care and women's rights, a large part of my work involves empowering and educating women on women's rights, domestic abuse awareness, healthy relationships and more. For more information and guidance, please see the resources section of the website where you'll find a range of materials.
Women's Aid
Domestic Abuse Awareness
Important Figures
• 1.6 million women experience domestic abuse every year
• 3 women are killed a fortnight by current or ex partners
These statistics are based on the women that have reported but there are still many women that don’t report due to fear about being judged or not believed, so the actual figure is thought to be much higher
So much still needs to change before women are safe
For such reasons Tulip Counselling and Psychotherapy is doing their part to join the campaign against domestic abuse and Come Together to End Domestic Abuse
Let's Be Clear
The Truth About Domestic Abuse
It is true that both men and women can experience domestic violence at the hands of the opposite sex or even the same sex, however domestic abuse is disproportionately perpetrated by men and experienced by women because they are women. When talking about the gendered nature of domestic abuse, it is mainly about male violence against women.
-
77% of victims in domestic abuse cases in year 2020 were recorded as female
-
92% of defendants were recorded as male
Myth Busting
One thing you can do to help the fight against domestic abuse is to help dispel myths
-
If it was that bad, she’d leave – Women stay in abusive relationships for many different reasons
-
Domestic abuse always involves physical violence – Domestic abuse does not always include physical violence
-
Women are just as abusive as men – Domestic abuse is overwhelmingly experienced by women and perpetrated by men
-
Domestic abuse isn’t that common – Domestic abuse is endemic in our society
-
Domestic abuse is a crime of passion, a momentary loss of control – Domestic abuse is rarely about losing control but taking control
-
All couples argue – its not domestic abuse, its just a normal relationship – Abuse and disagreements are not the same thing
