We are delighted to have Mark O’Neill and Dr Moayed Hamza of HAON Life Sciences as our guests on the Podcast. HAON is a company that is developing a novel cell therapy for new born brain injury, a very exciting technology that promises to change new born brain injury in a radical way.
Mark and Moayed talk about how HAON is developing and where the product is on its Clinical Path. We delve deeply into the Entrepreneurial mindset and what it means to be an entrepreneur. We discuss how to work together as a team, how to complement each other and how to handle disagreements.
We also cover how to manage Mental Health as business people and as family people, each of our guests having young children. We discuss the importance of having life balance and physical exercise.
The conversation turns to how to deal with third parties in the Entrepreneurial journey, how do you assess and handle feedback, and to differentiate as to what feedback is relevant and what isn’t. We also talk about the phenomenon of “Irish Culture” feedback and what that means in practise!
This is a great Podcast for anyone considering becoming an Entrepreneur and what it means to their mental health and how they can manage it.
Finally we finish out on a song that’s new to me but is very upbeat and hopeful and very appropriate.

The Coffee with your Therapist Podcast is sponsored by Myndgard Mental Health tracking and management. We help Psychotherapists and their Clients by enabling the Clients to develop an understanding of their Mental Health while waiting to enter Therapy. We are particularly focused on young people and University aged people and we would be very interested in talking to Clinics and Services who address this sector.
The benefits to the Therapist is that when their Client enters therapy you will already have a deep background profile of how the Client perceives their own Mental Health.
The benefit for the Client is that they receive encouraging and supportive feedback while they are waiting to start Therapy.

We are delighted to have Dr Dale Whelehan as our guest on the Podcast. Dale started as a Physiotherapist but decided he would do a PhD in Behavioral Science. Dale relates to us how he took this journey.
As a result of this, he is now CEO of an NFP called 4 Day Week which is an advocacy and education group that encourages companies to consider why a 4 Day Work week can actually increase productivity and employee well-being.
Their tag line is to deliver 1 million hours of free time, something I think is very interesting and will make a difference.
Dale talks about how the NFP helps SMEs to change and make a 4 Day week work for them.
Finally, we talk about Dale's experiences in running Marathons and how it initially was a bad experience but ultimately he had a positive experience this year, completing the Marathon. We end up with a very relevant play out song that Dale enjoys.
Enjoy

Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people in the psychotherapy field about their careers, their work and the music they like, all in 20 minutes.
This episode we talk to Dr Colman Noctor, well known Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, Lecturer and Columnist. He talks about his new Book “The 4-7 Zone” which asks us to look at why we need to be at either extreme. Colman points out that being comfortable with the middle is the healthiest and best outlook in many situations.
We talk about the impact of Social Media but Colman also says that Parental pressure is a big factor, we discuss ways that this might be countered. Colman says that the most powerful idea we can use is “Cop On” or Emotional Intelligence.
There are six things we should examine in ourselves including Biology, Psychology and Socialising. The book gives us techniques and case studies to help us, literally, re-centre our outlook and self worth.
We talk about whether there is space in Sports for casual and fun adolescent participation rather than escalating competition.
We finish by talking about music and I found out that Colman plays an instrument and how he remakes “dance” songs in his own style. And finally Colman plays out on a classic song.

Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people in the therapy field about their careers, their work and the music they like, all in 20 minutes.
This episode we talk to Dr Laurence Shapiro, President, of Between Sessions who is based in Miami.
Laurence talks about his journey from being a Child Psychologist to developing his ideas of making games and Psychological Workbooks available to Therapists for them to work with Clients; literally, between sessions.
The materials are all evidence based but also practical and they are highly focused on the specific areas that the Client requires help on. They encourage the Client to develop their own agency to address their needs.
To end the Podcast, we talk about music and we play out on one of Lawrence’s favourite songs. Lawrence is an enjoyable guest, and he talks about his work clearly and with passion, I certainly enjoyed talking with him.

Mark has some great insights on how to work with parents and how to communicate to them their importance to the Child or Teenager
We talk about how much Mark gets from being a GAA Coach and how that benefits the kids, the parents, and also even the coaches.
For some fun, we have a chat about a recent Football match that I think both of us got more than a little bit of pleasure from.
Music is important in Mark’s world and he also uses it in his work as a tool to let people understand themselves a little better.

Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people in the therapy field about their careers, their work and the music they like, all in 20 minutes
This episode we talk to Mary McHugh who is a Pioneer in Online Counseling.
This is something that is common place now but was seen as unusual or even not acceptable a decade ago. They originally started with basic Text Chat and, surprisingly, even this provided a channel that worked for some Clients. This has progressed to Telephone and then to full Video as technology has become more accessible.
Mary relates a great story about one Client that she worked with and how the Therapeutic Relationship progressed through the different technologies successfully.
She also points out one advantage that Online Counseling has over Face-to-Face Counseling, in that it can be kept more private if the Client requires it. And, indeed, some families are often geographically dispersed and technology can bridge those locations.
We also talk about the change in the Irish Attitude to Therapy over the decades and that it is now more acceptable to engage with a Therapist.
Finally we get onto Mary’s hobbies and she has a surprising way of relaxing.
We play out on a song that Mary says makes her thinks about how people view themselves as people.
