Sligo people can avail of free counselling sessions

TURN2ME, a national mental health charity, has announced that all people from Sligo can avail of six free counselling sessions, run by mental health professionals.

The charity stated that it is able to reach people across rural Ireland because all of its services are run through its website, Turn2Me.ie. The national mental health charity is keen to support people suffering from anxiety, grief, depression or who just need a supportive online community from time to time. Turn2Me.ie is a safe, moderated online platform which runs 365 days a year.

Turn2me was founded in 2009 stemming from the very personal experiences of Oisin and Diarmuid Scollard, who lost their brother to suicide in 2003.

“We are very keen to reach people from Sligo and to offer them free counselling sessions,” Fiona O’Malley, CEO of Turn2Me, said, “People can avail of up to six free counselling sessions with us.

“The counselling sessions are conducted by fantastic, qualified mental health professionals, and they can be done via video format or via the chat function on our website, www. Turn2Me.ie.

“If people want to talk about pressures, stresses, anxieties or any frustrations they’re feeling over the long weekend, we’re here to listen, 365 days a year.”

As well as up to six free one-to-one counselling sessions, people from Sligo can sign up to the free support groups which are run by Turn2Me, including support groups on grief, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

To book your free one-to-one counselling sessions, or to sign up to any of the free support groups, simply go to Turn2Me.ie and create a free account.
