Miss Eileen Foley

Certified Professional Counselor

I am an experienced addiction counsellor supporting people who struggle with their alcohol/ drug/ gambling to find the best way forward in their lives. I also support families to overcome the anxiety and overwhelm they feel when coping with someone’s alcohol and drug use.

About Me

I offer a supportive space for individuals navigating challenges with alcohol, drugs, or gambling. My approach helps you explore practical strategies to find your best way forward. I also guide families managing a loved one’s substance use, helping them overcome anxiety and overwhelm with practical steps. Clients appreciate my calm, experienced support in these difficult situations.

Approach

You’ll find sessions that move at your pace, focusing on clear, practical steps to reduce harm and rebuild everyday routines. I work with adults and families from my practice in Listowel, Kerry, and online in English, keeping sessions straightforward and accessible. We set small goals, explore triggers, practice coping strategies, and I offer advocacy when you need help accessing services or supports. This approach suits people and families looking for steady, practical help and calm, focused guidance.
