Who is behind it

The team behind the team.

The Wellbeing Team grew out of Athlone Care Clinic, where a team of eleven psychotherapists, psychologists and allied practitioners, with professional training and lived experience, spent three years building and refining this programme before bringing it into workplaces.

The ethos is whole-person and whole-family: body, mind, heart and soul, adults and children alike. Led by founder and clinical lead Siobhán, the team works from a simple conviction, and family cover is built in rather than bolted on because of it.

Nobody struggles apart from the people they love.
