Deciding upon a counsellor or psychotherapist is no easy task. In all honesty, much of it depends on personal connection. 

 

However, qualifications and experience do play a part. I have: 

 

• over twenty years’ experience working within the mental health field

• seven years’ leading a counselling service at a leading Occupational Health company

• qualifications in Counselling and Psychotherapy to Master’s level 

• in excess of 3000 hours clinical practice

• extensive experience of working with both individuals and organisations

• specialist trauma experience that is regularly called upon by the emergency services

• qualifications and experience as a mediator, having worked with some well-known corporate organisations in the North West

• provided consultative support to social workers and related professions to improve their management of emotionally challenging situations

• experience as manager of teams and services

• led and managed a drug and alcohol service for homeless people in Dublin

• provided wellbeing consultancy to a range of organisations in the private and public sectors

• worked as a facilitator and trainer in the field of wellbeing and mental health.
