About

 
 


 
Welcome to my Coaching and Counselling blog.

I have a busy counselling practice which I have run in Waterford City for the last twenty-five years. I am accredited with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). I receive referrals from Doctors, Employee Assistance programmes (EAPs) and self-referrals.

I work as a Coach with Neuroscience to help people to build their confidence, to find their voice and achieve their goals. I am accredited with the World Association for Coaching with Neuroscience (WACN) Coaching with Neuroscience provides a solid base from which you can explore your strengths and resources, your goals and aspirations. I work online with ex-pats and clients from different nationalities who live in other countries. I have awareness and knowledge around multicultural issues that have to be considered when coaching or counselling people who are from a different cultural background.

There is an online booking system on my website where a free 15 minute coaching “discovery” session can be booked to see if coaching with me suits your needs or a 60 minute coaching session or a 60 minute counselling session. Appointments can also be made by phone or email. Please stay in touch with me on Facebook, Twitter LinkedIn or Instagram as I will be sharing more information on Coaching with neuroscience to build confidence and other topics and on Counselling.  (@MonicaJackmanIE)
