Counselling in Wicklow Town
40 minutes south on the M11 — or from your own room, online.
Wicklow Town holds a lot of quiet commuting lives: early trains, late returns, weekends spent catching up on everything that slipped. Time to Change is a room where nothing has to be caught up on — you only have to arrive.
Counselling & psychotherapy for Wicklow Town
East Wicklow is commuter country. A great many people living in and around Wicklow Town work in Dublin or Bray, leave in the dark for much of the year, and get home with just enough left for the evening's logistics. What that produces is rarely dramatic — it is a slow flattening: irritability that surprises you, sleep that does not restore, a sense of running a life rather than living one.
Linda Corlett is an IACP-accredited psychotherapist with over 14 years of client experience, working integratively so the therapy fits the person in front of her rather than a manual. She holds an MA in Pluralistic Counselling & Psychotherapy, a BSc and MSc in Physiology, is a qualified general nurse, and completed a Level 8 Certificate in Clinical Work with Substance-Using Clients in 2024. Sessions run 50 minutes, weekly or fortnightly, at a pace you set.
The practice is in Gorey — about 42 km and roughly 40 minutes south of Wicklow Town, nearly all of it motorway. It is a ground-floor, step-free room with free parking outside the door and no shared waiting area, which matters if you would rather not meet a neighbour on the way in. For clients from Rathnew, Ashford, Kilcoole and Newtownmountkennedy the drive is often the easiest part of the week.
If the journey does not suit, secure video and telephone sessions are available on exactly the same terms — same fee, same length, same therapist, same confidentiality. Many clients alternate: online on the weeks that are tight, in person when they want the room.
Anxiety, panic, low mood, bereavement, trauma, addiction, work stress, or the sense that something has been sitting on your chest for years — all of it is reason enough to make contact. You do not need a diagnosis, a referral, or a crisis first.

About Wicklow Town
Wicklow Town sits between the Murrough and the mountains — a working harbour town that has become the administrative centre of the county and, increasingly, a base for people whose working day happens somewhere else. The Dublin commute along the M11 and the Rosslare line, the growth of Rathnew, Ashford, Kilcoole and Newtownmountkennedy, hospital and care work at the county's services, seasonal life around Brittas Bay and the Garden of Ireland tourism trade, and the older farming and forestry communities inland at Rathdrum and Avoca all shape what walks through the door: burnout carried quietly, isolation after moving to a new estate, grief that surfaces on a familiar stretch of strand, and the pressure of holding a household together on borrowed hours.
"Most people arrive apologising for taking up the hour. The hour is yours."
Common questions from Wicklow Town clients
How far is the practice from Wicklow Town?+
About 42 km and roughly 40 minutes door-to-door, almost entirely on the M11/N11 southbound. There is free on-site parking at Gorey Business Park, so you can drive straight in without looking for a space in a town centre.
Can I have sessions from Wicklow without driving to Gorey?+
Yes. Secure video and telephone sessions are available and carry the same fee, the same 50-minute length and the same confidentiality as in-person work. Many east Wicklow clients work online through the winter and travel in person when the evenings stretch.
What if I commute to Dublin and only free up late?+
Linda publishes her available days and times on the booking page and keeps some later slots. If nothing listed works around a Dublin commute, choose 'discuss times' when booking and she will ring you back to find something realistic.
How much does a session cost?+
€80 for a 60-minute session and €110 for a 90-minute session. You can pay by Revolut or on arrival — whichever suits you.
Do I need a GP referral?+
No. You can book directly through the confidential booking wizard on this site, or ring 085 182 1645 for a short, no-obligation conversation first. No diagnosis or referral is needed.
Who does Linda work with?+
Adults and third-level students. Linda does not currently offer child therapy, couples or family work — if that is what you need, she will happily point you towards an appropriate service.
