About
At Margaret Parkes Therapy, I believe that effective counselling is founded on respect, warmth, and trust, coupled with a gentle but encouraging approach. I understand that it's the authentic, interactive relationship between therapist and client that paves the way for transformative change.
With this guiding philosophy, I've had the privilege of assisting countless individuals, couples, families, and organisations in realising positive and timely change in their lives.
What You Can Expect From Me
Your trust and privacy are paramount. My work with clients is held in the strictest confidence, and my approach is marked by transparency. I want you to fully grasp the therapeutic process every step of the way.
To achieve this, I believe in sharing knowledge, imparting valuable skills, and offering education whenever it's needed. I adapt to your pace, exploring issues as they naturally arise, ensuring that you're always in control of your journey.
How You Know You’re In Capable Hands
I bring a wealth of qualifications and experience to the table, ensuring that you receive the highest level of care. My credentials include a Professional Diploma in Psychotherapy from The Tivoli Institute, an MSc in Systemic Organisation & Management from The Clanwilliam Institute Sunderland University, and three years of gestalt experiential group experience from The Gestalt Centre. I also have a specialist diploma in Neurodiversity Informed Psychotherapy.
Additionally, I am an IACP Accredited Supervisor and hold a BA in Business from Dublin Business School, along with being a qualified Trainer. With over 20 years of running a thriving private practice in Dublin, I've amassed a robust client base of individuals, couples, and families, serving as a testament to the effectiveness of therapy.
How Organisations Can Benefit From Partnering With Me
The benefits of therapy extend beyond individuals and families. I also specialise as a management and training consultant, as well as a mediator in the corporate sector.
I facilitate various personnel development programs that contribute significantly to enhancing the bottom line of organisations. My work has a tangible impact, and I'm eager to discuss how your organisation can reap the benefits.

Having come from a family business background myself and having completed two theses on the subject. This has given me an knowledge into their uniqueness. This study and experience has given me the skills to help overcome family conflicts that can continue to occur in the business by supporting the relationships and structures within, and in short by professionalizing the business.
