"My name is Jim Finnane. I have a history of childhood trauma that led to decades of drug and alcohol addiction. When I first met you, I had been trying to get clean for about five years without success, and I continued to relapse. We spent four years every fortnight getting through my triggers that were directly related back to my childhood traumas. I can only say that working with you would be a big part of why I am 12 years clean and sober today. Not sure how it worked. All I know is it did thanks."

“I started seeing Mirna as I had difficult trusting people. Mirna is extremely kind, caring and wise. She gave me a safe space to be vulnerable and supported me unconditionally. She helped me to manage and process difficult memories and emotions. Working with Mirna has helped me heal deep wounds and learnt to trust again. It has had the most profound impact on my life of anything that I have ever done. I am beyond grateful to her and highly recommend her.”

“I came to see Mirna after an acute event that triggered previous DV related trauma from 10 years prior.

Using EMDR she initially worked on the event itself, but over a serious of sessions was able to go deeper into issues connecting both events and back into childhood. EDMR was the final shift into a new way of approaching difficult situations.

I now feel more able to implement boundaries and communicate more effectively when setting them.”

"I have known Mirna as a supervisor and as a therapist. I have no hesitation in writing a recommendation for her services.

Mirna's extensive knowledge and trauma informed care has been a lifesaver for me. She was able to keep me safe during times of stress and when actively suicidal. Her non-judgemental approach and strong client focused care enabled me the space to grow and change during times of adversity, taught me skills that continue to empower and enrich my life."

“I first met Mirna during a Covid lockdown and, despite expecting a long day of online training, I found myself fully absorbed. The session was uplifting, inspiring, and gave me valuable new insights. Since then, I’ve booked Mirna for all the training I organise for our networks.

Mirna is an outstanding trainer. She’s a clear communicator who makes every session engaging, positive, and thought-provoking. I really value her cultural competence and professionalism, as well as the way she is always respectful and supportive of participants. Her versatility and ability to tailor content to our needs make her training consistently effective, inspiring, and genuinely enjoyable”
