ABOUT EMPATHY COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

Empathy Counselling & Psychotherapy is located in Portlaoise town in a discrete location off Grattan Street, with on street parking.  Rooms are warm, comfortable and spacious.

Empathy was initially set up 18 years ago as a private practice run by Siobhan Galvin.  It has now been developed to include a number of experienced and accredited psychotherapists and a reiki therapist and yoga instructor. 

The main approach is humanistic and integrative. In other words you are seen as a whole person who lives and integrates your experiences through your body, feelings, thoughts and unconscious mind.  The aim of the therapy is to help you to actively explore your experience and help you to live a more satisfying life, supporting you in taking responsibility for the changes you make to achieve this goal.

Client Reviews


"I attended Empathy Counselling Services throughout 2021 and the first half of 2022 and I am very grateful that I did. I was provided with a safe space to engage and open up and express my feelings without judgement and I feel that I greatly benefited from my sessions . Siobhan had a lovely balance of patience and compassion with warm professionalism. I learned many practical strategies to deal with anxiety that I will always carry with me. I will definitely contact Empathy Counselling in the future should the need arise and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services."
