Press enquiries and confidential information

Journalists and editors are welcome to get in touch with general media questions. Please do not send identifiable client, patient, family, or third-party details, private documents, or detailed clinical histories through public comments, ordinary website routes, or ordinary email.

If confidential documents or details are needed for a legitimate reason, please ask first so a more appropriate private channel can be arranged. This helps reduce the chance that sensitive material is sent through the wrong route or appears on the website.

Press contact does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or advisory relationship and is not a route for clinical care, urgent help, or confidential case review. If a story involves a real person, keep details anonymised unless proper consent and an appropriate professional process are already in place.

This website is not an emergency or crisis service and messages may not be read immediately. If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, call 112 or 999 in Ireland, go to the nearest Emergency Department, or use your local emergency number outside Ireland. You can also see HSE urgent mental health guidance and the Mental Health Commission urgent help page.

Reading this page, sending a message, or booking an appointment through the website does not by itself create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or counsellor-client relationship. A professional relationship begins only after it has been expressly agreed and the necessary clinical, consent, privacy, suitability, and practical arrangements have been made. See the full disclaimer and privacy policy.

Press

I am happy to support journalists

Journalists, editors, producers, and researchers are welcome to contact me if they are looking for careful expert insight on mental health, psychotherapy, counselling, and related topics.

I try to be helpful where I can, whether that means a short quote, background context, or a clearer way of thinking about a mental health topic for the public.

Media enquiries

For press or media requests, please email me with the topic, your publication or programme, the deadline, and whether you need a written comment, a brief conversation, or background perspective.

A brief note on scope

I cannot always respond immediately or comment on every request. I also cannot provide diagnosis, personal medical advice, or comment on confidential clinical details by ordinary email. Please avoid sending identifiable case material, private documents, or highly sensitive personal information unless an appropriate method has been agreed.

Resources for thoughtful mental health discussion

Over the years, I have always enjoyed collaborative work on mental health topics, whether with journalists, editors, researchers, educators, student wellbeing teams, or community groups. I am happy to help where I can with background context, careful wording, and public-facing explanations that make difficult topics a little clearer and more useful.

I believe meaningful mental health discussions, reliable information, and a well-informed public are among the foundations for improving mental health across communities and reducing stigma. The pages below may be useful starting points if you are preparing an article, resource list, teaching note, public conversation, or support page.

These resources are educational, not diagnosis, crisis care, emergency support, medication advice, or a substitute for working with a qualified professional. Crisis-adjacent pages include routes to urgent or specialist support where relevant.

Research and Publications scholarly background, selected papers, and public research routes What Is Psychotherapy? a plain-language explanation of psychotherapy and how it may help Mental Health Help a broad, non-diagnostic route for readers looking for support options Anxiety Self-Help practical steps for anxiety, overthinking, worry loops, and next support routes Physical Symptoms of Anxiety anxiety symptoms with medical red flags and professional-help boundaries OCD Self-Reflection Guide a careful self-reflection guide, not a diagnostic quiz Panic Attack Plan a practical public guide for planning around panic attacks Trauma Bonding a safety-first explainer with coercive-control and abuse-support routing Medication Review Conversation Checklist questions to prepare for a medication discussion with a qualified prescriber Uplifting Stories and Short Readings gentle public-domain readings for reflection, rest, and perspective

These pages may help with background information about the services and the wider mental health information on this site.
