Counselling and Psychotherapy provide the opportunity to speak in one's own terms in order to articulate the difficulties and the questions in one's life. They offer the opportunity of clarifying the direction, or its lack, in one's life. In recent decades counselling and psychotherapy have had a major contribution to the alleviation of distress and suffering in the everyday human experience of loss, bereavement, trauma, depression, choice and relationships.

Skills adapted from the fields of counselling and psychotherapy are now an essential part of many work roles and an expertise in this area can be the basis of professional development. Counselling and Psychotherapy have enjoyed significant growth in an Ireland that has seen great social change in recent years.
