My name is Anne Crossey and I run MindMatters as a private mental health service in West Cork, Ireland.

My background is in Philosophy, and I have an M.Phil in Psychoanalytic Studies (TCD), M.Sc in Psychology (Brunel), a Postgraduate Diploma in Treating Trauma and CPTSD, and a Professional Diploma in Counselling Psychology. I am an accredited CBT Practitioner and have trained with well-renowned figures in the field such as Bessel van der Kolk, Peter Levine, and Janina Fisher. I teach night classes in Psychology and have spoken at Universities in Ireland and in UK, incl. TCD and UCC, about mental health issues. I also have a life-long interest in the psychology of happiness.

I use a combination of techniques: CBT, variations of EMDR-type approaches, and other techniques from coaching psychology, psychotherapy and counselling psychology, as well as my own Affirmative-Flourishing system.
