Gary’s Services
-
Recovering from depression isn’t the hardest of mental disorders although it can feel it. I suggest 6 sessions to overcome your depression, with a reassessment at session 6 of course.
-
Sometimes things just feels too much! Whether it’s feeling lost, or asking ourselves why we feel so hectic for simple things… If going outside is a struggle, or having hard conversation is daunting, we can work together.
-
I’ve spent years addicted, depressed, and anxious, and I also spent many thousands being in debt. Whether you have coke, codeine, alcohol, porn, gambling, I can help you overcome cravings, and stop relapsing! I do relapse prevention plans too.
-
Sometimes in Trauma, we ruminate, and think daily about the struggle, or sometimes Trauma is fascinating in the sense, we don’t think about that time, moment, place, person affecting us today, but we feel bad every now and then because of that time. Struggling with Trauma, click the button on the left.

FAQs

It’s helped immensely in terms of relating to clients because I have walked in the shoes of someone struggling, not just text book tools! Real world experience with challenges I have faced.
I was addicted to porn, gambling, alcohol, and multiple drugs including cocaine and weed.
-
I have degrees in CBT, Depression Counselling, and also personal experience with addiction. As a previous addict, depressed, anxious, and other mental health challenges, I have professional and personal experience to help you.
-
Usually shorter than you think, but definitely can go as long as you feel you need help. I tend to work with clients over a 12 week block, this is enough time to see massive growth. And of course you have a tester session, and then commit to getting further help.
-
If your someone who has lost their way and wants to get back to before the challenges, or even greater in the future, then yes I can help you.
-
Average session rate in Ireland is now €70-€90, I charge €55 per session.
Is it worth it? Well, just ask yourself how much does your current situation cost you in terms of enjoyment of life, situations, outlook, family, friends, work, etc.
Or how much the addiction has cost you financially? And how much will it cost you in the next 10 years?
-
Unfortunately it’s normal to trip up on recovery or also fall backwards. I pride myself on helping clients set up long term results. Meaning we go for not just the problem, but go for life skills that sets good habits and actions up for your future self.
Most of the time, clients have tried many times to stop themself, I help make it stick this time!
-
This is absolutely certain, your safety, your story is absolutely safe, and not shared anywhere, ever.
-
For results, from me being addicted, I am very successful with addiction clients so sobriety with direction in life, or happiness with leaving depression in the dark!
I have helped many many people set goals for they’re weeks, and kept them accountability. I have also helped 9 people set up side hustles as a newfound purpose. Maybe that’s a good use of your new time, if that’s your intrest of course.
Depending on your addiction depth you can see concrete results. A rough guideline I go by is 10 meetings and if you are making good progress that is great, if you keep failing, best idea is to seek other help.
Also with depression, timelines can usually be in 6 meetings you can see a massive difference.
-
Simply click on a button at the top of this page, and you’ll be directed to my WhatsApp, or book a call below.
And on the first session, we will first understand the problems your facing, and then get stuck right in. I have no problem learning about you, your work, and normal things, but you didn’t pay me to learn that, you and I have problems to solve, so let’s solve them.
-
The mind is literal… Meaning if I think negative about a certain situation, you will feel negative about it too…
So, I believe getting results and progress is not guessing, it’s literal. It will work, if you work, the buck does stop with you, let that make you feel empowered, not fearful. I am your running coach, but you gotta run!
