A lot of people have reached out recently offering support around editing, publishing, and helping me with the process of writing my book, and I honestly really appreciate it.
I’m very excited to say that I’ve now connected with Geraldine Walsh, who I’ll be working with as my editor moving forward.
The book is already well underway, but this feels like a really important part of the journey for me and makes it all feel even more real now.
Excited for what’s ahead.

ADDICTION IN ADOLESCENTS

A One-Day Clinical Workshop

Not every addiction leaves a visible mark.
Many adolescents today are struggling silently with substance misuse, gaming, gambling, po*******hy, social media dependency, and compulsive online behaviours, often alongside anxiety, trauma, shame, emotional dysregulation, and disconnection.

Yet many professionals feel underprepared for the reality of what is presenting in the room.
This workshop will explore addiction in adolescents through a deeper, trauma-informed, and clinically grounded lens.

Topics covered include:
🧠 Theories behind addiction
🧠 Defining addiction
🧠 Tolerance and withdrawal
🧠 The adolescent brain and addictive behaviours
🧠 Common substance misuse in Ireland among adolescents
🧠 Gambling and gaming addiction
🧠 Po*******hy and compulsive online behaviours
🧠 Trauma, attachment, and emotional regulation
🧠 Treatment modalities and therapeutic approaches
🧠 Videos, case studies, and group discussion throughout the day

This is not surface-level learning.
It is practical, reflective, clinically informed training for professionals supporting adolescents in today’s world.

Your nervous system enters the therapy room before your words do and does your client’s.

Join us for a deeply experiential 2-day online training designed for therapists who want to understand trauma, regulation, emotional overwhelm, and the power of therapeutic presence through the lens of Polyvagal Theory.

This is more than theory.

It is a relational, embodied, clinically grounded learning experience that will support both your clients and you as the therapist.

🌿 Polyvagal Training for Therapists
📍 Fully Online
📅 June 26th & 27th
⏰ 10am – 6pm
🎓 IACP CPD Approved (15 CPD Points)
💶 Fee: €425

Over two immersive days, you will explore:

✨ Polyvagal hierarchy and nervous system states
✨ Neuroception and cues of safety
✨ Shutdown, activation & emotional overwhelm
✨ Co-regulation skills in clinical practice
✨ Therapist presence, pacing & attunement
✨ Experiential integration of theory and practice
✨ Resourcing the therapist’s own nervous system

This training is ideal for therapists, counsellors, psychotherapists, and helping professionals who want to deepen their understanding of trauma-informed practice while also reconnecting with their own nervous system in the work.

Expect:

• Rich experiential learning
• Clinical insight and reflection
• Relational depth
• Practical tools you can bring directly into the therapy room
• A warm, engaging and professionally held learning space

In trauma work, understanding the nervous system changes everything.
Spaces are limited.

Today, on World Maternal Mental Health Day, we recognise that maternal mental health touches many journeys. Pregnancy, postpartum, fertility treatment, baby loss, adoption, surrogacy, and motherhood beyond the newborn stage.

Behind every mother is a mind, a body, and a story that deserves care.

However your maternal journey is unfolding, if you’re finding it challenging, overwhelming, or isolating, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Depth. Not just technique.

At a certain point in this work, you realise it’s not about learning more tools.
It’s about how you sit with people.
How you understand what’s going on underneath.
How you hold the space when there's no quick fix.

Working with teenagers is incredibly rewarding, but it asks more of you than technique alone.

This course was built from depth,.

It’s not about quick interventions or surface-level work.
It’s about developing your way of working, integrating what you are learning, and looking deep within yourself.

Supporting your staff with mental health shouldn’t feel unclear or overwhelming.

Many workplaces want to support their teams better…

But aren’t always sure what to say, how to respond, or where the line is between being supportive and overstepping.

That’s exactly why I’m running a FREE workplace training session this May through Cherry Blossom Therapy.

🗓 Date: 18th May
📍 Location: Mullingar
⏱ Duration: 1.5 hours

Workshop: Breaking the Stigma Around Mental Health in the Workplace

This session is designed for businesses who want to:
✔ Feel more confident supporting staff
✔ Understand mental health in a practical, everyday way
✔ Respond appropriately without needing to “fix” anything
✔ Create a more open, supportive workplace culture

This is not therapy and there is no personal sharing required.
It’s a clear, practical training that gives your team the tools to handle real situations professionally and supportively.

As part of our wider community campaign:
Proud to Support Mental Health
Breaking the stigma in our community

Each business can nominate two staff members to attend.

If your workplace would benefit from this, feel free to get in touch at courses@cherryblossomtherapy.ie or comment below and I’ll send on the details.

Let’s make supporting mental health at work feel normal, confident, and manageable.
