Monica Jackman DAC MIACP

When I was young my friends often told me that I was a good listener and confided in me with their thoughts, worries and just general life stories. I didn't appreciate the significance of it at the time as in my youthful optimism I assumed that everyone was a good listener, there for family and friends. As I got older I realised that being listened to an acknowledged for who you are is a very powerful and enpowering thing, something that is not easily available to some people. This sparked my interest in human psychology and neuroscience (the study of the brain and nervous system), and helps me to work with my counselling and coaching clients to effect positive changes in their lives.

 

I am an accredited member of the IACP (Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and have over 25 years of experience in counselling.  I work with both private individuals and Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs).
