Counselling Service

The period after the return from an overseas assignment can be a fruitful time to engage in counselling.  It provides an opportunity to work through some ‘old’ issues, which may have come to the fore while overseas, or to talk out issues relating to the assignment, such as security problems, stress, trauma or illness. 

You don't have to have experienced a 'crisis' to benefit from counselling. Appropriate counselling can be helpful in the process of re-adapting.

Comhlamh provides information, regarding accessing counselling services in Ireland (including lists of accredited counsellors and information on how to choose a counsellor) to individuals who have worked or volunteered overseas in a developing country for 3 months or more.
