034 - Mary McHugh

The Online Counselling Podcast

A few weeks ago, had the opportunity to interview Donijka Monk, who is the co-founder of Irelands leading online counseling practice – “The Irish Online Counselling and Psychotherapy Service”. She was a wonderful guest and suggested that I connect with her partner and co-founder Mary McHugh. Of course, I jumped at it and today we get to hear Mary’s beautiful journey of service that brought her to explore the world of online counseling – and then once she learned of the great need that was there, how she started her private practice and then the two of them grew it to a group online practice with 7 therapists in total. We talk about the current lack of regulation regarding online counseling in most of the world and the importance of boundaries in our work. She is an inspiring entrepreneur and role model therapist. I’m so thankful she was able to spend some time with us to tell her story.
