Welcome to Mindology

I started working with Michele Twyford two years ago and in all honesty, it has been life changing! Michele has helped me through the most challenging and lowest point in my life. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space for me to share my thoughts and helped make sense of what seemed like chaos that was extremely overwhelming for me at the time. I’ve found my inner strength through working with her and have continued to grow into a more confident person and truly believe I’ve got my spark back. She’s taught me the most valuable life lesson that I try to remind myself of everyday, that I am in control of my life, everything is my decision and my choice.

Through CBT therapy with Michele, I learnt to understand myself and understand why I was experiencing crippling anxiety and panic attacks. ‘’Is that a fact or your opinion’’ is a valuable statement I’ve learnt to ask myself from my therapy with Michele which as a result calms my anxiety and puts things into real perspective.

I would highly recommend Michele to anyone, she is a true representation that therapy is invaluable. I know my work with Michele has helped me to grow into the person I am today and to believe that there is always help out there, just take the first step and book your first session. You literally saved my life Michele and for that I will be forever grateful.

I have been seeing Maeve Kavanagh for nearly 3 years now. I usually go to see her once a month. When I first went to one of Maeve’s sessions, I was struggling heavily with OCD for around 3 years and couldn’t shake it. I also dealt with anxiety. Within a few months of attending Maeve’s sessions, I had little to no OCD anymore. Since then, Maeve has not only helped me navigate various situations – both those I was in and those I was anticipating, that was causing me anxiety or concern. She has also helped me improve overall as a person so I can be a better person in each interaction or situation I come across. I would highly recommend Maeve to anyone who is struggling.

I saw Laura Turley for over two years, and I can honestly say that she has changed my life for the better. Laura is a compassionate, attentive, and skilled therapist who helped me overcome my anxiety and mild depression. Laura taught me how to cope with stress, challenge negative thoughts, and practice self-care. She also helped me improve my relationships with my family and friends. She always listened to me without judgement.

Her CBT based therapy really resonated with me and I use the tools I learned with Laura almost every day. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone who is looking for a therapist to help them with any issues in which she is an expert on. She is not only a professional, but also a kind and caring person who genuinely cares about her clients.

Michael Kane has always created an environment which led to me feeling safe, comfortable and listened to. In my experience, the sessions are client-led and he has a holistic view of me as a person in mind throughout. He has allowed me to work through some very muddled thoughts and emotions, while always being both professional and empathetic.

He is also a reflective practitioner and often asks for feedback to develop more of an understanding of how sessions are experienced by the client. He takes the apprehension out of counselling and offers practical and implementable strategies to try. He has helped me greatly and I would recommend him to anyone.

I had experiences with a few different therapists growing up and for years I thought that therapy maybe just wasn’t for me. In my 20s I decided to give it another go in hopes of getting some practical guidance for my anxiety. Now looking back, it’s clear that I met Jane Palmour just at the right time in my life. She quickly became someone I was comfortable with and trusted.

She has guided me through so many different developments over the years and whenever I need to go back for a few more sessions, I look forward to seeing her again and getting her perspective. She has been encouraging, supportive, gentle & devil’s advocate when needed in our sessions over the years, I’m so glad I scheduled that first trial appointment!

I had the privilege of working with Lorraine Carpenter over the past few months, and the results from the help and guidance I have received has been transformative for me in the best possible way. Lorraine is incredibly professional, a fantastic listener and consistently demonstrates a deep commitment to my well-being. Lorraine’s helpfulness goes far beyond our sessions, providing me with tools and strategies I can rely upon on a daily basis. The guidance I have received has always been thoughtful and specific to my situation which has been extremely helpful.

One of the standout aspects of working with Lorraine is her expertise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Lorraine is excellent at explaining complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand, which has been crucial in helping me change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. I am grateful for the positive changes I have experienced thanks to her guidance and I would highly recommend Lorraine to anyone seeking compassionate, insightful, and professional therapeutic support.

I can’t say enough good things about Vanessa Higgins. From day one, she made me feel comfortable and truly listened to. Her support and guidance helped me work through so much, and I always left our sessions feeling so much better. If you’re looking for a therapist who really cares and knows her stuff, I’d highly recommend Vanessa.
