Providing confidential, secure online counselling across Ireland, including Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia and selected Canadian provinces.
DCCS works with people experiencing anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship strain, workplace pressure, addiction concerns and major life changes. You do not need a diagnosis to attend.
The first session considers what has brought you to counselling, what is affecting you now and what you would like to change. Together, we agree an appropriate focus and next steps.
Once your appointment is confirmed, you receive clear information and a private Zoom link. Sessions are normally 50 minutes and take place from a suitable private location.
