My Story

My name is Anne Higgins. I hold a BSc (Hons) and a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I qualified in 2017, and at the end of 2021, I followed my passion and set up my own private practice.

Feale Counselling Service is based just outside Abbeyfeale, County Limerick. (Parking is available at the rear of the premises for your convenience.)

I work with adults aged 18 and over, offering a professional, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns and feel supported as you move forward.

Using an integrative approach tailored to each individual, I draw on methods such as person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and humanistic approaches. I support clients with a wide range of physical, emotional, and mental health issues.

I am accredited with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).

In addition to my psychotherapy work, I am:

A certified Kinesiologist – offering a holistic approach that works with the body’s energy systems to identify and correct imbalances that may be contributing to stress or discomfort.
Currently obtaining my Diploma in Body Healing Coaching – a body-focused practice that helps individuals reconnect with their bodies, release stored stress or trauma, and restore natural balance. It draws on movement, breathwork, somatic awareness, and emotional regulation to support both mental and physical healing.
Trained in Pain Management techniques – helping clients understand the mind-body connection in chronic pain, and offering tools and strategies to manage and reduce pain naturally, often alongside or in support of medical treatment.
Holder of a Diploma in Spiritual Counselling Skills – where I’ve received the necessary training to demonstrate competence and understanding in this field. This approach acknowledges the spiritual aspect of healing and well-being, offering clients space to explore deeper meaning, purpose, or connection in their lives—regardless of religious background.

You can also find extra support through my podcast, "Talk Therapy with Anne Higgins," available on Spotify. (See cover image below!)
