    My name is Sharon Cunningham. I am a Chartered Psychologist and am also studying for a Doctorate in Psychotherapy at DCU.

    I am conducting a research study exploring how counselling and psychotherapy clients experience the mandatory reporting of their childhood abuse once it has been disclosed in therapy.

    I am asking you for your support and assistance with recruiting participants for this study – more details are below.

    Existing research has explored mandatory reporting during counselling and psychotherapy from the therapist’s perspective, only a few global studies have examined this process from the client’s perspective, and no studies have been conducted in Ireland. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the experience of mandatory reporting from the counselling /psychotherapy client’s perspective, giving their experience a voice and an opportunity for their experiences to be shared and witnessed. The finding from this study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal, informing counselling & psychotherapy practice and policy.

    Participation in the study would involve attending a research interview with me, which would last about 60 mins, either in person or via zoom. The interview will be recorded, and the client will not be asked about their experience of childhood abuse, just the mandatory reporting process during counselling and psychotherapy.

    I am asking for your support with this study, as mandatory reporting is a part of counselling and psychotherapy that impacts us all.Your help would involve advertising the study to the clients attending your practice for counselling and psychotherapy and, where possible past clients and clients who may have terminated their therapy.

    I would appreciate it if you would consider;

    • Placing the recruitment Flyer in your waiting room – physical or virtual (email or text me if you would like some hard copies) 
    • If you have clients you think might be interested in participating in the study and sharing their experience of mandatory reporting, bring their attention to the flyer or webpage. 
    • If you have a mailing list, maybe send out the flyer or webpage.


    Informing clients that the study has commenced and providing them with the study information (see below) will be the extent of your involvement. Potential participants will be free to contact me directly if they wish to participate in the study.

    This video tells you more about the study, giving a brief overview and what would be involved in participation.

    You can find more information on the flyer and information sheet attached, or have a look at my webpage at www.sites.google.com/ mail.dcu.ie/psychotherapyandmrresearch

    If you would have any questions about the study or would like to have a chat about the it, you can contact me on 086 455 1186 or email sharon.cunningham35@mail.dcu.ie

    New Online group starting Tuesday 15th Nov 10-12 noon

    Many therapists excel at their clinical work but often don’t take the opportunity to attend to the development of their practice as a business and an expression of their own growth and creativity.

    This online group is for those who are either:

    • Starting out in private practice and wanting to learn how to expand it OR
    • For those already well established but perhaps feeling stuck or have a desire to change their way of working or who they may wish to work with.

    AIM

    To provide a forum for a small group of psychotherapists to receive clarity, support and challenge to develop their practices and to think beyond their current horizons.

    APPROACH

    We will meet monthly, during which time the participants will check in with the group and give an update on their progress. One or two people who would like support will then have the chance to look further at what their issue may be and what may be blocking them from achieving more in their work and practices.

    OUTCOMES

    What will you get from this group?

    1. Fresh perspective and insights on the expanding relevance of psychotherapy
    2. Opportunity to develop your business in the way you desire
    3. Challenge and support
    4. Opportunity to “face-down your demons”/ identify your growing edge
    5. Accountability
    6. Access to a valuable and supportive network of therapists

    Some of the feedback from previous supervision  groups / online webinars:

    Monica provided a safe and explorative space for me to really figure out what I wanted in my work and helped me to move more fully into my private practice and learn when to say No and of course YES! Would highly recommend her work as a supportive, innovative, and skilled practitioner.

    - Maura S, Psychotherapist

    I found the group with Monica to be  very worthwhile. It provided inspiration to think creatively about what a counsellor/psychotherapist has to offer inside and outside of the counselling room. Monica’s easy-going yet professional manner put the group at ease, and so people felt free to share their views and experiences which added immensely to the learning. Monica is an excellent group facilitator.  Would highly recommend her groups.

    Belong To and Trinity College Dublin want to know what it is like to be LGBTQI+ in Ireland today. Take part in the Being LGBTQI+ in Ireland study today to share your experiences of being an LGBTQI+ person in Ireland.

    In 2016, Belong To and Trinity College Dublin collaborated on The LGBTIreland Report – a ground-breaking national study into the mental health and wellbeing of the LGBTQI+ community in Ireland. Over 2,000 people responded, and the research has been used to advocate for better services, supports and policies for the LGBTQI+ community.

    On the 13th of September, the Being LGBTQI+ in Ireland research was launched. This new study will track the changes in the LGBTQI+ community since the last year. The information for TheLGBTIreland Report was collected in 2014/15, before the same-sex marriage referendum and the introduction of the Gender Recognition Act in 2015.

    With this new body of research, we have the chance to see what has changed for the LGBTQI+ community since these major milestones.

    This anonymous research will examine the mental health and wellbeing of LGBTQI+ people in the Republic of Ireland and investigate public attitudes towards LGBTQI+ people. The survey is for LGBTQI+ people aged 14 and is anonymous and confidential

    Click here to take part today or visit www.beinglgbtqi.ie

    If you have any questions or would like to discuss any aspect of this study with the research team, please contact Professor Agnes Higgins (research manager) on 089 457 0387, by e-mail at BeingLGBTQI@tcd.ie, or visit our website at www.beinglgbtqi.ie.

    Being Human: Six Ways We Need Each Other

    from Tuesday November 8-December 13th, 6-7.30pm

    (Max Participants 12)

    with Emma Philbin Bowman (BA, MIAHIP)


    "Emma's ability to communicate complex concepts and themes in simple language is a gift"

    Maria, Cork

    "This material is evocative and stirring, encouraging us to stay vividly alive and open. Being Human celebrates our need for various others always. This is a nourishing course that encourages us to evolve and thrive across the arc of our lives."

    Emma

    In Being Human psychotherapist and facilitator Emma Philbin Bowman explores the rich territory of our relational lives from a fresh and enlivening angle.

    Drawing on an integrative model based in self-psychology and object relations, this highly accessible course explores six forms of connection each of us need in order to thrive: containment, mirroring, twinship, adversity, resonance and partnership. Participants will develop a clear, intuitive understanding of each form and its unique value and potency in our lives with others.

    This material is evocative but gentle, providing a refreshing and spacious lens by which to revisit our lives with others. These is rich territory to explore in a small group, and much of our learning will arise together.

    draws on a rich map from the work of Stephen Cope, the self-object work of Heinz Kohut. The material is also informed by Winnicott, Hillman and contemporary neuroscience. It is designed to benefit participants in their personal process and in their work with others.

    Each week has two elements: brief theoretical content - in clear modules on Teachable - and a live session, where Emma will present the theme and blend group work with more intimate inquiry exercises. (Click through and scroll to view sample modules).

    Special IAHIP pricing available to November 1. [CPD Certs available]

    This course is also available as a stand-alone offering without live sessions – email emmapb@me.com for info or see my school on teachable.
