"We can’t thank Katrina enough for coming in to us this week. The team really benefited from the day, we all felt we gained loads of tools to help with our day to day and deal with any struggles we have. The team was in such great form after the day! We will definitely be doing it again and 100% recommend to other businesses to have Katrina in."
"Extremely helpful and professional."
"Helpful, insightful and informative videos and articles from highly skilled therapists, a real asset to county Cork."
"I found the services at Smaointe excellent. Noel was really easy to talk to and he gave some great advice and strategies to use. He also helped me to think about things in a different light. All of the staff are very friendly and accommodating. I have no hesitation in recommending the services at Smaointe."
"I was extremely lucky to have my employer organise for Katrina to come into our place of work for a 2 hour workshop last week. From the start I felt very comfortable and at ease. Katrina was excellent and the content of the session was relevant to our job and challenges we may face. I learned different tools and techniques that I could use in my daily work life to benefit me. I would highly recommend Katrina, I believe any work place would hugely benefit from her sessions and the information that is provided."

"Katrina has changed my life! I started going to therapy because my self worth was quite low, confidence in myself was also low, and I felt that my ability to make decisions about anything was impossible! but at the time I didn’t know any of this! I didn’t even have the awareness of this, I just knew I was anxious all of the time! Sweating, avoiding conversations with people, I didn’t like events or crowded places, or attending anything on my own.
And wow was my head a noisy place of “There is no way you can do that” “But what if this or that happens, we can’t go!”
​
During my therapy sessions so much unraveling was done in the most incredible way! I always felt like Katrina session were a safe space and also a space where I faced these fears I had head on and showing me in the most practical way of learning skills to help me with my thought process of well what if the worst case scenario actually happens, is it really that scary?
Of course it never was that scary, my thoughts were just obsessed with being negative as they were stuck in a rut.
​
Today though, I am a transformed woman! I have so much confidence in myself, my abilities, my decision making. No, I don’t always have the answers and can control every situation but what I do have is the skill set and the knowledge to handle absolutely anything that comes my way! So much so that I quit my full time permanent job recently to start up my own business in something I am incredibly passionate about! Let me tell you that the old version of me couldn’t EVER have even dreamt of this moment!!
If you are anything like me, please go for it and take the first step and book that session in! Your future self will thank you and wow does it feel amazing to feel the stress of the world off my shoulders :-) And to feel excited about life again :-) Be brave, you can do it :-)"
Looking back at all the times I’ve sat here with tears that I had and I never thought I would be where I am today.. But I always get there.
And I’m sitting here today just so proud of myself and very grateful for myself for getting to where I am. I am happy and very grateful to you for helping me push past the tough times
