Cathriona is a fully qualified Human Givens Psychotherapist, a registered member of the Human Givens Institute, has a Masters degree in (CBT) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and an Honours Degree in Psychology. She also holds a Post-Graduate Certificate in Workplace Wellbeing from Tangent, TCD, a diploma in Executive Coaching (Mindstream) and is an experienced psychotherapist, coach, facilitator and trainer. Her areas of specialist interest are Grief, Female Psychology, Hormones & their interaction with psychological health, the effects of trauma - including sub-threshold and vicarious - on psychological health and mind-body interplay and somatics.
Cathriona has had a life-long interest in psychology, studying it for her honours degree in Trinity College Dublin, and utilising it in the corporate, therapeutic and educational world.
She spent over 17 years in the corporate workplace in both the private sector (Irish Life Assurance plc) and the public sector (RTÉ; RTÉ Television). She worked in a senior management position in RTÉ, running the Television Press Office for over eight years, managing teams, managing national and international media relations, and working as a trusted advisor to executive management for Ireland’s public service broadcaster.
Her interest in Human Givens is deep and broad. She is energized by the benefits she sees clients experiencing quickly and naturally in their daily lives as they apply the learnings and healing from therapy; and from the education courses she co-runs at the centre with her colleagues. She is continually gratified by the breadth of the approach that can help optimise performance in contexts from sports, to exams, to the workplace; help individuals harness their innate strengths to deal better with the challenges of being human in the world; break cycles of depression and anxiety; help heal and enable people recover from trauma – on a small and large scale.
Cathriona also works as a Consultant in the Corporate sector, giving training in Communications, Leadership and Management, as well as Workplace Wellbeing for OMT Consulting, and on behalf of Engineers Ireland. She is also a Global Faculty member for SNP Communications, where she conducts training and coaching in communications, management and personal development in Ireland and abroad.
Here is a copy of her Masters research on the Effectiveness of HG Therapy, undertaken at the Dublin Human Givens Centre in 2016: Thesis – The Effectiveness of HG Therapy
