Seoige Therapy
Seoige Therapy offers Counselling and Psychotherapy to clients on a wide range of psychological and emotional issues. Counselling is generally a shorter term therapy for identifiable participating issues, whereas Psychotherapy generally involves longer therapy to identify and resolve deeper core inherent issues. Seoige Therapy provides face to face and on-line counselling and psychotherapy. Based in Galway City with easy access to parking.Counselling and Psychotherapy can be for anyone seeking support during difficult or challenging periods in their life. The challenges maybe due to a recent experience or maybe due to an experience from the past which is impacting present functioning in everyday life. Or there may be no apparent reason for feeling lost in one’s own life’s journey, alone and unable to cope. Whatever brings you to therapy Seoige Therapy provides a safe, non-judgemental space and meets you where you are currently at. It is within this space the individual feels safe to explore, understand and change negative/limiting thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviours and become more self aware and develops resilience and self-belief. True happiness is an inside job!!

Counselling Experience and Areas of Interest
Briedge has a broad range and diverse working experience within the mental health field for over 20 years. She has worked as a Holistic Counsellor and Psychotherapist for a number of years in General Counselling supporting adults and students in various Counselling Charity Organizations, NUIG Counselling & Wellbeing Service, along with her own private practice.Briedge’s holistic practice utilizes an integrated approach that provides a compassionate, non- judgmental space that is unique and suited to each individual’s presenting need depending on the issues/challenges a client presents with. Carl Rodgers, the American Psychologist states,“We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet, listening, of this special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.” It is from this space a therapeutic alliance develops on trust and safety and empowers the client to look inward for the answers they seek as they are the true experts on themselves. “Your vision becomes clear only when you look into your heart, who looks outside; dreams, who looks inside; awakens”... Carl Jung.Briedge’s special area of interest is working with individuals experiencing difficulties in addiction and trauma and its impact on the family system

I use the butterfly as my logo because the butterfly has to go through a transformation process to reach its true expression and 'the butterfly effect' where a flapping wing represents small changes can have big impact.
