Counselling in Arklow
A quiet, professional space — 25 minutes south of the town via the N11.
Arklow is a working town with a strong sense of itself — shipbuilding roots, a busy harbour, and generations who quietly get on with things. That same steadiness can make it hard to admit when you're struggling. Time to Change is here for those moments.
Counselling & psychotherapy for Arklow
Many clients from Arklow first reach out after a long stretch of trying to manage on their own — anxiety that has quietly become the background hum of everyday life, a bereavement that never quite settled, a relationship that lost its way, or a work role that no longer fits. Whatever the reason, the room we hold is deliberately unrushed.
Linda Corlett is an IACP-accredited psychotherapist with over 14 years of client experience, working integratively — drawing on humanistic, existential and cognitive-behavioural approaches so the work fits you, not the other way around. Sessions are 50 minutes, held weekly or fortnightly depending on what you need.
The Gorey practice is a short 25-minute drive south down the N11 from Arklow. It's a ground-floor, step-free room with free on-site parking — deliberately private, deliberately calm. For clients who cannot travel or who prefer to attend from home, secure video and telephone sessions are equally available and equally confidential.
You do not need a GP referral, a diagnosis, or a crisis to reach out. Many people come simply because something has been sitting on their chest for too long. If that's you, the first step is just a short conversation — no commitment, no cost to enquire.

About Arklow
Arklow sits on the Avoca river where Co. Wicklow meets the Irish Sea. It's a town of makers and workers — from the historic shipyards and pottery works to the new pharma and tech employers along the N11 corridor — and a strong community of retirees who chose the coast for its light and its walks. That mix brings a wide range of pressures through the counselling room door: shift-work exhaustion, empty-nest transitions, grief that surfaces years later on a familiar beach, and the particular strain of raising teenagers in a small, close-knit place.
"You don't need to have the words ready. That's often what the first session is for."
