The Saoirse Successful Living practice was set up in 2008 with a vision to help people reach their full potential. Services include Psychotherapy, Individual Counselling, Relationship Counselling, Clinical Supervision, Workshops, Corporate Training and Mindful Psychology.
Kathleen founder and director of Saoirse Successful Living is an accredited Psychotherapist, Psychologist and Supervisor with the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapists (IAHIP) and a member of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI).
Kathleen says ‘I started Saoirse Counselling and Psychotherapy Service as I have always had a genuine interest in improving people’s personal well-being. I have worked with individuals and groups for over 30 years in various healthcare sectors. I currently lecture student psychotherapists at degree level and teach in further education. I regularly facilitate my own successful living workshops, along with individual and couple therapy sessions. I previously worked with the HSE Adult Counselling Service, providing therapy for those who suffered childhood abuse. In addition, I worked with families and individuals bereaved by suicide, as well as teenagers experiencing social exclusion and in crisis’
Kathleen is currently completing a Doctorate in Psychotherapy at Dublin City University with a special interest in Pre and Peri-Natal Psychology, completed her Masters in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy in the University of Limerick and received an honours degree in Psychology with the Open University.
Kathleen also completed a Diploma in Clinical Supervision with the Irish Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre, a Diploma in Relationship Counselling with the Irish Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre and a Certificate in Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy from Gerry Cunningham.
Kathleen’s approach to Counselling and Therapy is client focused, based on the Humanistic and Existential Principles of choice, autonomy, personal responsibility, freedom and meaning. Kathleen draws from human growth concepts, to help you recognise patterns in your life which may be negatively interrupting relationships, prosperity and abundance and further facilitates these explorations, using a mindful body approach.
These interventions increase awareness and provide you with a greater understanding of the importance having a mind, body, soul and spirit connection.
