Begin your healing journey.....
Here at Connections Counselling and Psychotherapy, I believe in the power of psychotherapy to help you to discover your path to your own inner healing, and the healing of the relationships that matter the most to you.
My goal is to provide unwavering support as you navigate your path towards mental well-being and inner peace.
Hi, my name is Sharon Clinton and I am an integrative psychotherapist, with a Ba (Hons) Degree in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy. I use a blend of therapeutic modalities, uniquely adapted to you, the client, to help you navigate any difficulties you are experiencing in your day to day life.
I work with clients, over the age of 18, who experience anxiety, depression, relationship loss or bereavement, and those who are experiencing difficulties within their relationships, whether that is family, friendships or work. I offer online and in person counselling and psychotherapy in The Misneach Centre, Moate, Co. Westmeath.
​
I have a particular interest in improving women's mental health, and supporting women with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, fertility challenges, and to recover from difficulties they may have experienced during pregnancy and the postnatal period. I also offer support to women during the transition into motherhood, and beyond, helping women to release some of the everyday weight of the many roles they undertake in life.
I believe in creating a safe supportive environment where, together, we can explore the difficulties you are experiencing, help you access your own inner resources and strengths, and learn new skills and resources to build on those strengths within.
Offered Services
In-Person Therapy.
Individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes long and are held weekly, usually on the same day and time each week, in the Misneach Centre in Moate, Co. Westmeath.
In each session, we explore the difficulties you are facing, and work together to help you to develop skills and resources for you to overcome whatever you are experiencing now, and create and build on your resources for the future.

Online therapy is also 50 minutes long, held weekly, on the same day and time each week, and uses the zoom platform.
A secure link will be sent to you prior to the session, which will take you into the session at the agreed time.
It is essential for your wellbeing and confidentiality that you are in a private space alone, for the duration of your online counselling session.
Terms and Conditions.
Confidentiality and Trust
Confidentiality is an important part of our working relationship together. I keep brief notes on each session, which are stored on a password protected database in line with GDPR requirements. I am a member of the IACP (Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy), and I work within their standards of practice and ethical framework.
There are some exceptions to confidentiality, where I am ethically or legally obliged to disclose to the relevant bodies, in the interests of the safety of the client or others, which will be discussed, and agreed in full, with each client on the first session.

Each appointment is 50 minutes long, and are usually on a weekly basis, at the same time on the agreed day.

In the first session, I will take some details and discuss your needs and goals in therapy. This will help us both to ensure that I am the right therapist for you. We will review our work together at regular intervals to ensure we are always moving in the direction you want to be going.
