My sensitivity brings core strengths to my teaching including:

  • My ability to attune to and connect authentically with the group
  • Create interactive and collaborative ways of learning
  • Delivering complex knowledge clearly and concisely
  • My ability to motivate the learners
  • Enabling the group to tap into their reflective abilities and internal resources

Training & Experience

My undergraduate degree in Psychology is from University College Dublin after which I completed a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology at University of Wales, Bangor. Following some years of working in the field of mental health, I trained in Counselling and Psychotherapy at IICP College. I am a fully accredited Psychotherapist (Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and founded my own private practice 7 years ago.

I completed a Diploma in Therapy Training & Education and have also lectured for trainee and graduate psychotherapists and psychologists in Trinity College Dublin, Dublin City University, and IICP College. I was also an Editor while on the Editorial Committee for the Irish Journal of Counselling & Psychotherapy for a number of years.  My skill for creating and developing both individualised programmes and the courses within the Sensitively School are based upon my lecturing, facilitating, and editorial  experiences, as well as over 15 years working in mental health in both community projects and organisations such as St. John of God.

MORE ABOUT ME

Hear from Others

Working with Donna has transformed my life. I started therapy with Donna over two years ago in one to one sessions. Working as a teacher, I have experienced challenges managing my highly sensitive personality in a busy, stimulating environment. Donna has helped me explore my sensitivity, navigate emotional challenges but most importantly teach me to value myself and value my sensitive traits as strengths.

I am only beginning to realise that "I am sensitive". I joined Donna on her one to one sessions not really knowing why. I was truly mistaken in thinking sensitivity is about being emotionally upset. Donna has brought so much more than that to my awareness, the understanding I received through her patience and in holding this space was truly enormous.

HelenMeath

I would highly recommend Donna, she is extremely professional, kind, and compassionate to her clients. I have seen Donna on a one to one basis, and she has helped me overcome and heal in a compassionate and safe way at my own pace. I have also attended Donna’s workshops (Sensitively Strong Course) and the Sensitively Strong group (community) and feel this has helped me grow in confidence and identify with others who are similar to me. I'm grateful for meeting Donna and her wisdom
