"I have no idea what she does or how she does it. She has a way of drawing you out and explaining things in a way that makes complete sense. She links everything together in a way I can’t explain. I have changed a lot in a short space of time. Something has definitely shifted in my perspective of myself and my life…"
Jackie Fitzpatrick
I was always ‘different’ -a disrupter, a questioner, a rebellious soul.
I remember as an 11yr old lecturing my mother following a conversation I overheard between her and a district nurse. I demanded ‘why is she telling you how you’re going to feel, she has no idea what you will or won’t feel. You’re the only one who can decide that. Listen to yourself not her’. Even back then I knew that deep down we have the answers.
In 1995 following a traumatic life changing experience I began with the help of an experienced counsellor my inner excavation. I was hooked. For the next 10yrs I studied and immersed myself in the world of psychology, coaching methodology, Buddhist teachings and meditation. Beginning at BIrkbeck College London where I studied Psychodynamic Counselling. In 2004 I set up what became a very successful coaching practice. What followed was a complete love affair with Western psychology, Eastern Philosophy, Shadow Work, Archetypes, Mythology, Parts work and inner child work. Everything and anything to help me understand what this being human was all about. I couldn’t get enough.
As my depth and understanding grew and deepened so too has my work with clients.
I call my work ‘psychospiritual’ as I work with mind body, soul and spirit. Intuitively I KNEW, but science now confirms that our minds and bodies are an AMAZING INTELLIGENT system organised around a primary purpose - to KEEP US SAFE. Survival is our core motivator. Working with me will help you understand this in a simple way , easing any confusion, releasing trapped trauma, and getting a grip on the myth of SELF SABOTAGE.
We never sabotage ourselves, we are only ever trying to keep ourselves safe.

How I Work
Working with me will help you realise that there is nothing wrong with you- that everything is working to keep you safe even though it doesn’t always feel that way.
My style is conversational & easy going with some tough love where needed. I draw from all of the modalities I have experienced and studied. Weaving in some gentle somatic work, mindfulness, and a little breath work where called for. The mind body connection is inextricable so it is imperative that we work with all aspects to heal.
Having the gift of claircognizance I am intuitively directed to the centre of the ‘issue’ and the best ‘approach’ to take.
My ultimate desire it to help you unravel and disentangle the web of stories and memories woven together without your awareness. These stories buried deep in the subconscious holding you captive and making life more of a struggle than it needs to be are finally released.

I had been through counselling before - it didn’t really do much. I’d read loads of self help motivational books but I couldn’t seem to get a handle on my anxiety. Then somebody recommended I call Jackie. Even after one session I noticed a difference. I have no idea what she does or how she does it. She has a way of drawing you out and explaining things in a way that makes complete sense. She links everything together in a way I can’t explain. I have changed a lot in a short space of time. Something has definitely shifted in my perspective of myself and my life. I was dreading the whole ‘childhood’ thing that counsellors do. But this was different. We talked a little about a childhood experience but it was in a really interesting way. I recommend you give her a call if you are finding things tough and need some help.

“I felt my head was about to explode which is why I booked a session. By the end of it I felt so light. Jackie had diffused the emotional bomb I had been carrying around for weeks. Had it gone off who knows the damage it would have done. Her work is so powerful.”
Brenda, Ireland
Every session with Jackie is enriching. She helped me a lot when I was in times of doubt and struggle with my thoughts about myself, my relationship and the way I look at my life. One of her great gifts is to ask the right questions at the right time. Subtle, gentle, and still very clear. She always gives me the chance looking at situations from a perspective I have not thought of and enough space during the sessions to reflect on these new perspectives. Jackie is an important guide for me. Due to her life experience and her long experience as a therapist she has my full trust, and I highly recommend her.--

RELATIONSHIPS
Through my many years of experience in this work I know that the primary reason for most of our unhappiness, stuckness, struggles, repeated patterns in relationship and life is our uninvestigated stories. It is never about the other person, it’s always about us and our unhealed wound. This wound produces a distorted idea of love which is determining the heath of our relationships
During our time together I will help you
• Identify your unhealthy relationship patterns and learn how to change them
• See your fears and traumas in a new light and become more in tune with your emotions and desires
• Increase your awareness so you can become a vibrational match for fulfilling and lasting relationships
• Learn the ‘why?’ behind feeling stuck in a relationship where you feel miserable. At last you can breath again
ULTIMATELY discover how to heal past wounds so you can heal your present and future relationships.
THE WISDOM OF TRAUMA and healing it’s wound
Everybody is carrying trauma to one degree or another
Trauma is the Greek word for ‘wound’. This would is not what happens to us but how the happening caused an overwhelming emotional charge in our body. This emotional charge (energy) was too much to deal with at the time of impact so was stored (frozen in time) at a subconscious level in our bodies and is lived out in our present day experience. It ‘triggers’ our reactions, behaviours, feelings, and repeated patterns, causing untold pain to ourselves and those around us.
These ‘trigger’ patterns at one level are always ‘serving’ us. Our body is NEVER at war with us. However at a conscious level they are the cause of the distress in our health, wealth, and relationships. This happens as a result of the un investigated wound in the recess of our emotional memory.
Through our working together you will
• Gently weave your way to the point of impact
• When there you will gain a deep understanding of the event and the depth of the impact
• With this understanding you will begin to release and integrate that piece of you that has been struggling to break free
• You will leave with ‘tools’ to help you navigate your life in a more fulfilling way to help you thrive and not strive

STRESS & ANXIETY

Burn out,
Overwhelm

• Understand the relationship between your nervous system and stress
• Gain insight into the intelligence/wisdom of your body
• Dispel the myth of setting boundaries
• Realise that anxiety was an incredible gift in your life

TEENAGERS : YOUNG
ADULTS
emotional health
It’s an incredible privilege to work with young people. Many times during our sessions I can see a physical shift right in front of my eyes. Young people have so much to contend with currently. What with social media and the challenge to live up to the unrealistic standards this altered reality portrays.
Our sessions will help them raise their awareness and distance from this unreality. This facilitates reconnection to the essence and incredible magic of who they really are.
Working with me will help you
• Understand the origin and break the cycle of negative thinking
• Understand the difference between thoughts and thinking
• Navigate realtionships
• Understand the mind / body connection and how this awareness could ‘save your life’
• Release anxiety and feel more connected

“The one thing you can be certain of when working with Jackie is you will leave a session feeling lighter and more in control of your life and emotions. She works with great empathy, and had an astute ability to get to the core of what was going on for me in both my work and personal life with razor sharp precision. She has an incredible way of explaining things that make the complicated sound simple”
Joe, Solicitor, Dublin
Jackie brings you on a journey of self discovery with her insightful and inspiring understanding of humanity to a place of calm, where you can examine your life situation and lifestyle choices and put things into perspective. Working with her provided me with an opportunity to reevaluate and reset my priorities. She had an uncanny ability to know exactly where to shine the torch to help me really see what was creating my discontent and anxiety. My body feels a whole lot lighter and I feel so much better. I cannot recommend her work highly enough.
Fiona, Ireland
Jackie is one of those people who’s charisma and sense of humour immediately strike you. Whilst we all have met people in our life who employ horrid mind manipulation techniques if there is an antidote –Jackie is an exponent of same. The black art* of Jackie's work I knew nothing about until recently. She was exceptional at digging into my mind which was full of destructive thoughts. She helped me understand my journey so far, and helped me get a better grip in the understanding on people in general. This has greatly helped me in my business life and relationship.

STRESS & ANXIETY
At its most simple our body holds the story. It is always alerting us to what is happening in the thinking mind. Our nervous system’s job is to keep us safe. It responds to our unconscious thinking patterns- if these are overwhelming in fear then the nervous system thinks we are in danger and responds. Remember our body is always on alert to keep us safe. Our body is super intelligent.
And they cycle continues
What happens in our nervous system affects our thoughts, behaviours, feelings, sensations, and experience of the world. This is the foundation to everything else. When you gain control over your nervous system, you can gain control over your life.

Testimonials
“You are like Occam’s razor*, able to cut through the bullish*t! with compassion and humour in no time. One certainly get’s their moneys worth when working with you”
James, Director SME
Time spent with Jackie is enlightening, very worthwhile and above all fun. She had an incredible ability to to put me at ease with her light yet powerful way of managing our sessions, I have worked with her on and off over the past three years she has guided me to clarity in the midst of confusion, Jackie is very professional, very practical and very insightful and she clearly loves what she does.
James H, Global Director Blue chip
In a single session, Jackie listened to me with compassion and integrity. She helped me identify key areas for me with clarity, insight and impressive efficiency. Working with Jackie was an amazing experience. I now will complete that masters.
Carol Veterinary practitioner, Ireland
It's difficult to put into words how it is that Jackie does what she does. At a time in my life when I had lost a relationship, was overwhelmed by my role, and anxiety and fear had consumed almost every day for me, I reached out. Meeting and speaking with Jackie was truly enriching, she is particularly skilled at asking the right questions to help you envision an alternative to your current situation. Even after our first conversation I began to feel the weight of the world lift. Jackie is compassionate, non judgemental and has a dynamic approach to this work I wanted clarity and more freedom in my life and I certainly got that, I cannot recommend her enough.
Katie, actress & acting coach, Ireland
When it comes to counselling, mentoring and coaching, Jackie is way ahead of the game. She has an innate knowledge of the workings of the mind and its relationship with the physical, spiritual and emotional aspects of the self. A true holistic approach in creating a state of balance and harmony within the whole self. Working with her is an eye opener. I have experienced quite a few "Aha!” moments where she has the ability to see the bigger picture and intuitively knows what’s really going on. Sometimes we can be blind when it comes to limiting beliefs, core wounds and all that messy stuff we don’t want to look at. She guides with genuine compassion and non-judgement. I truly appreciate her wisdom and inspiration. She has definitely helped me navigate some sticky moments in life allowing me to come home to myself. Thanks Jackie
