Information from Jenny Heron, PhD, MBCAP

(Senior Accredited Psychotherapist)

Anyone who has experienced abuse at the hands of a religious person (priest, monk, nun) in the Catholic Church in Eire can get free counselling from ‘Towards Healing’, an organisation funded by the Catholic Church. They can be living outside Eire, and be referred to a specialist therapist in their area.  Survivors are entitled to 80 sessions of counselling, 12 sessions of couple or family work, and their siblings could have 6 sessions.

For more information please click here or go to www.towardshealing.ie/site/
