Siobhán’s Journey
Over the last decade, Siobhán has worked in the therapeutic field. Having been born into a family of seasoned entrepreneurs, she developed a passion for leadership and has gained incredible experience impacting the masses through media, conferences and corporate mental health speaking and training.
The large majority of her leadership experience has been in the charity sector, given her nature and ability to connect with people on a deeper level.
Siobhán started Athlone Care Clinic, formally Life Education, as a wellness service focused on counselling, psychotherapy, psychological wellbeing as well as a host of complimentary therapeutic services. Born from a passion for helping people, Siobhán’s mission is to work with those facing mental health challenges and to improve their personal and professional lives.
Siobhán’s Goals
Siobhán has seen and understands the devastating effects psychological trauma, suicide and abuse has had on individuals and families through her lenghty experience as an Addiction therapist and decided to study EMDR therapy as a means to treating what she believes to be the causing factor in many mental health challenges.
She realised the need people have, not only to manage their mental health, but to establish a firm, lasting foundation in their business/working/personal lives. As a child, Siobhán was subjected to violence, emotional and sexual abuse. She lacked social ability and was often taunted and bullied at school even by her teacher. She believes these experiences caused her to depend on addictive substances in her teenage years as a means of coping with the psychological trauma and pain caused by each event.
From the age of nineteen, Siobhán began a therapeutic journey to a full recovery from her past experiences. Her early dream was always to help people and as an adult she realised this following admission onto the Addiction Studies Course at AIT.
Helping adults and children overcome the impact of these issues is the origin of Siobhan’s goal, to help people succeed in life, find their value and become the best possible version of themselves. To date Siobhán can safely say she has achieved much more that she ever dreamed possible and her ambition has not relinquished.
Siobhán is committed to proving to her children that no matter who you are or what has happened to you in life, you can be anyone & do anything you want to do in life.
