“In my work, I value the authenticity of the therapeutic relationship and its capacity to bring understanding and change. I respect my clients’ perspective and experience, and I aim to work collaboratively with them to bring difference to their lives”.

At present, Gail is a member of the accreditation committee of The Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and is particularly interested in raising standards and awareness.
