I’m delighted to share a new development in my psychotherapy practice 🌊

I’ve recently joined with two experienced colleagues to create Three Shores Psychotherapy — a shared website bringing together our individual psychotherapy practices across Wicklow, Meath and Galway, as well as offering online therapy throughout Ireland.

While we each continue to work independently, we share a similar approach to therapy and specialist training in working with adolescents and young adults, alongside our work with adults and parents.

For me, Three Shores is a lovely way of connecting my work here in Wicklow with two trusted colleagues, while making it easier for people to find the right therapeutic support for themselves or someone in their family.

You can have a look at our new website here:

And as always, you’re very welcome to get in touch with me directly with any questions or enquiries.

For everyone receiving Leaving Cert results tomorrow 💛

Tomorrow can bring excitement, relief, disappointment, uncertainty — and sometimes all of those things at once.

Whatever is written on that page, your results are only one part of your story. They don’t measure your worth, your potential, your creativity, your kindness, or the person you are becoming.

There is rarely just one route to where you want to go. Plans can change, different paths can open up, and sometimes the route you hadn’t expected turns out to be the right one.

Be gentle with yourself tomorrow, try not to compare your results with everyone else’s, and remember — you are so much more than a set of grades.

Wishing all Leaving Cert students, and the parents supporting them, the very best for tomorrow.

Oh wow, this one from Tera Sumpter really resonated.

How about the children who work so hard all day just to hold it together in an environment not suitable for them and their brains?

SCHOOL-BASED ANXIETY
Tuesday 21 January 7.00pm

Is your child or teenager struggling to return to school after Christmas? All the reassuring not really working? This webinar will be helpful...😊
Many young people manage the first term of school, with some level of anxiety and difficulty. However, after an extended period of time in the comfort and familiarity of home, anxiety heightens and many children and teens feel overwhelmed at the thought of having to return to school. It can take until nearly the end of the first week until they are able to make their way in. For some, however, they simply do not have the resources to attend at all and there have been some meltdowns in your home over the past number of days. This second term becomes a slippery slope into full-blown school avoidance. Anxious young people are often struggling to navigate peer friendships. They exhibit all manner of anxiety symptoms including panic attacks, OCD, rigid eating and exercise patterns, overthinking and dreading the future. They sometimes place unbelievably high expectations on themselves and, as a result, live with tremendous pressure. The stress creates a body response as many also endure such symptoms as GI tract issues, skin disorders, stress headaches etc.
Parenting has become an incredibly complex task. Intuitive parenting skills and breathing techniques may help momentarily, however, they typically don’t resolve the underlying problems of relentless anxiety or how to address the negativity, self-doubt and feelings of not being good enough.
Join Bronagh Starrs, internationally renowned psychotherapist and mental wellbeing consultant for this evening talk for parents. Participants will gain an indepth understanding of the dynamics of anxious presentation in childhood and adolescence, illuminating the mindset of the anxious young person. A trove of effective parenting strategies will be presented. 😊
PLEASE SHARE FOLKS 🙂🙂🙂
