About Anne
Anne Higgins is a counsellor and psychotherapist based near Abbeyfeale, County Limerick, where she runs Feale Counselling Service. She works with adults aged 18 and over, providing a confidential and supportive therapeutic space to help clients explore emotional, psychological, and life challenges in a structured and non-judgemental setting.
Anne qualified in 2017 and holds a BSc (Hons) alongside a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is accredited with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).
Her approach is integrative, drawing on person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and broader humanistic methods, allowing her to tailor support to each client’s individual needs and circumstances.
How I Can Help
Alongside her core psychotherapy practice, Anne incorporates a range of complementary approaches to support clients holistically.
She is a qualified Basic Systematic Kinesiologist and integrates body-based and energy-focused concepts into her work. She also has a Diploma in body healing coaching, which focuses on breathwork, movement, somatic awareness, and emotional regulation.
Anne has additional training in pain management techniques, exploring the relationship between physical symptoms and psychological factors, particularly in chronic pain conditions.
Her work also includes training in spiritual counselling skills, offering clients space to explore meaning, purpose, and personal belief systems in a non-denominational context.
Additional Work
Outside of her clinical practice, Anne produces a podcast titled “Talk Therapy with Anne Higgins,” available on Spotify, where she explores a range of topics related to mental health and emotional wellbeing.
She also hosts both online and in-person workshops, as well as delivering motivational talks focused on mental and emotional health. These are tailored for a variety of groups, including local schools, women’s groups, and men’s sheds.
In addition, Anne offers workbooks available through her website, designed to support those who may feel unsure about starting counselling, while also providing practical guidance for navigating everyday challenges and improving overall wellbeing.
