Assessed by the HeyDublin Go-to-Guide as among the top psychotherapy services in Dublin:“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.!”
Personal Statement
My proven skill set is in simplifying Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) into fast, fun (yes, really!), practical self awareness and regulation training – teaching new skills to every client who attends private sessions or organisational workshops.
CBT 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 – examining and changing bad habits, and building new good habits instead – developing rational thinking skills, and designing emotionally intelligent responses to stressors, with intention – it would save many of us from emotional rollercoasters and self-sabotaging.
Low intensity CBT is not just ‘therapy’, it is fast and efficient best practice 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, and ‘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 that stay with you forever…”.

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.
