RISE is a vibrant, dynamic new counselling and psychotherapy practice located in the heart of Kilcooles business district. RISE models itself on the core values of safety, warmth, hope and the client’s innate ability to self-actualise. The journey of healing according to key theorists such as Carl Jung is one of symbolic death and rebirth as we facilitate the client to feel held while they free themselves from old, destructive patterns and begin to flourish. This is depicted in our logo embedded the alchemic process of the phoenix rising from the ashes.
The phoenix as a spirit animal has strong significance in my own life around symbolic death and rebirth. This sacred bird is a beacon of new beginnings following a period of darkness and loss when it emerges from the ashes. And so it is a metaphor for the cycle of life, falling apart and rising up to try again.
Healing one’s self is to acknowledge the needs of the whole self so at RISE we endorse a holistic model of treatment and offer a spectrum of services that empowers our clients at whatever stage of the lifelong developmental process they may be at. The therapies available at rise encompass approaches that may enhance each of the various dimensions of the Self; physical, emotional, cognitive, sexual and spiritual and move towards greater wholeness.
We look forward to providing this supportive space and being a lifeline to the community of north Wicklow and beyond.
Warmest regards,

Wayne and team
