She has extensive experience over the last 30 years working as a Clinical Psychologist across different types of services from public health services to the voluntary/charitable agencies including the HSE, St John of God services, Crosscare Teen Counselling, Jigsaw (National Youth Mental Health service for 12-25 year olds), the National Council for the Blind of Ireland and Pieta House.
Antoinette continues to link with some of these agencies, offering consultancy services and staff training.
These multifaceted Clinical Psychology roles have helped Antoinette to develop the ability to empathically engage with clients across the age spectrum.
First and foremost, I aim to meet people with understanding and with compassion. I know it can be scary to consider talking about your personal life with a Psychologist. I always remember that it takes bravery to make that first step and contact me. My aim is to work collaboratively to create a reflective space in which to tell your story. My key task is to use psychological modelling to better understand your own personal psychology, leading to empowerment.
