If you have a problem and you think that counselling would help, please phone us. This is what normally happens when someone wants to come for counselling.
Step 1 Phone 01 6268519 and our receptionist will take your name, address and number and will then send out a letter inviting you for an Initial Assessment. This assessment will last about 20 minutes and you are asked to pay €15 towards the cost. Please ring to confirm that you will be able to come to this first meeting.
Step 2 You will come to Oasis for the Initial Assessment. A Qualified counsellor will talk with you and take down some details. They will explain what counselling is and find out why you want to come for counselling. Oasis asks clients to make a voluntary contribution towards the cost of the service and this will be discussed at this meeting.
If you wish to pursue and come regularly for counselling and if the Counsellor feels that we can help with your particular problem, you will be assigned a counsellor. You will receive a letter with a time and day. Please ring to confirm that you can come.
Step 3 You can come to see your counsellor once a week. After 6 weeks you and your counsellor will talk about either ending the sessions or continuing on for another block of sessions.

Children's Counselling (Return To Top)
Oasis Counselling service has been offering counselling to adults in Ballyfermot for the past 9 years. For the last 3 years we have extended our service to children between the ages of 4-18.
Parents attend the first session and must give written permission for the child to attend. At this session the counselling process will be explained to the parents and the children. It is really important that the child wants to come and isn't being 'sent.'
Each session lasts about 50 minutes and will be confidential unless the child says something involving child abuse, or that they are going to harm themselves or someone else………
Counselling-this is for children or teenagers who would like to talk to a counsellor about their problems. The counsellor will listen, try to understand and help the child or teen to work through their problems. The counsellor's job is not to give advice or tell the child what to do but to listen, understand and help them to process what is happening in their lives. Art and sand and creative techniques are often used in the counselling sessions.
