About Veronica Walsh
I am a specialist in low intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Training – I started CBT and Feeling Good in 2009, offering CBT sessions for individuals, and CBT seminars and workshops for companies and organisations.
My CBT Resources Blog is regularly ranked in ‘The Top 10 CBT Blogs in the World’ listings, and is used by individuals and mental health professionals internationally – offering free original downloadable CBT worksheets and handouts, with over 1.3 million views and hundreds of thousands of downloads.
“CBT and Feeling Good trainers and programmes have been accepted and accredited by Enterprise Ireland for inclusion on The National Register of Trainers, in full compliance with the Qualifications Act ’99”
My proven skill set is in simplifying CBT into fast, fun (yes, really!), practical training – teaching new skills in self management to every client who attends private sessions or organisational workshops. My clientele service covers all stress disorders. I believe we should all be taught cognitive science skills in school from an early age – it is for everybody and every situation – taking therapy out of medical settings, and into general life skills instead – developing rational thinking skills and designing emotionally intelligent responses to stressors – it would save many of us from emotional rollercoasters and self-sabotaging. My service is efficient personal and professional development, that helps clients to achieve real change. ‘When we know better, we do better’ – it’s a proven psycho-educational science. And science is magic that works.
One to one CBT sessions are delivered through a mixture of informal discussion in a private therapy setting, with ‘learning by discovery’ homework to take away (at 30 Wicklow Street Dublin 2, or online) – and I design and deliver experiential group training seminars and workshops for companies and organisations. Think different, feel different, behave different, with CBT… The company mission is to “turn therapy into practical science – teaching life changing skills in self management…”.

“Our Unvarnished Impressions of CBT and Feeling Good (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) Dublin:
From the moment I stepped into CBT and Feeling Good, it was apparent that Veronica is passionate about her profession. Her infectious energy combined with a truly caring nature immediately put me at ease, allowing us to dive straight into my therapy sessions. I cannot speak highly enough of her expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – she knows exactly what questions to ask, when prompts are needed and how to tailor each session towards achieving optimum results.
Experiencing anxiety can make life feel like such a struggle sometimes but since visiting CBT and Feeling Good, my outlook on life has changed significantly for the better! By focusing on changing negative thinking patterns that were previously holding me back, I found myself feeling significantly more confident day-to-day.
Overall, This business provided exceptional service from start to finish as well as having affordable fees!. Whether you have been battling anxieties or depressions for years or months only- don’t hesitate- go see Veronica without any delay. I guarantee you will not regret taking this brave step forward toward mental well-being because she truly gave me new lease of life.!”

Sheryle Lyman on December 16, 2017
Hello Veronica – I live in north central Florida, and have been in practice about 4 years (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy.) Also I find that many clients like to work on psychodynamic insight therapy, I tell them all the time that while insight is great, I haven’t seen it motivate an awful lot of change. CBT seems to make change easier to achieve, and your worksheets are stunning. May I share them with my clients? Thanks so much! I will not redistribute nor rebrand them. (Promise
Lisa Peyton on October 7, 2016
Hi Veronica, I am a Marriage and Family Therapists in Florida and provide supervision for therapists who are new to the field and working toward licensure. So often they are lacking in EB techniques that actually work for clients. I would love to be able to share your materials with them for use with their community mental health clients, as is with no re-branding or redistributing. Do you approve? Thanks.
