We have had the pleasure of Niamh Lawlor visiting our home and working with my daughter and my son once a week. My daughter had a lot of issues when Niamh started working with her. She struggled with mental health and had dropped out of school. There was constant conflict in our home due to her issues. With Niamh's help she began to change. She became more confident, communication between her and all of the other family members improved immensely. Then my daughter got accepted into youth reach and Niamh supported her with this big change. (She had been out of education for 2years prior.) I am delighted to see my daughter being happy and content now. She is not shy anymore and also doesn't suffer from emotional outbursts anymore. I love the fun, lovely young lady she has become and I believe that Niamh's brilliant work was what helped her step into being who she is now. I will be forever grateful to Niamh for helping my daughter (and the rest of the family). We all greatly benefited from Niamhs help. Myself and my partner reflected on our parenting strategies and our own negative patterns which was truly clarifying and empowering. Niamh helped our while family to get out of a very long challenging few years and we will be forever grateful. Susanne

My son had a great experience in counseling with Niamh. He did not feel very open to support initially but Niamh has a lovely way with teenagers and he began to enjoy the sessions. He is managing much better in school and communication among the whole family has improved. Niamh has also helped a lot in supporting us to get further support around educational needs.
