I am grateful that I can use my qualifications and skills in CALMS to help people who are struggling with stress and mental health issues.
Dr Orla McDevitt-Petrovic
PhD researcher
I have worked with CALMS in a professional capacity for almost 18 years. Throughout this time, CALMS has grown from strength to strength in terms of the excellent service they provide to the local community. Their service is quite unique in that they offer high quality psychological therapies, fully qualified Counsellors and Psychotherapist (specialising in Trauma), in addition to Psychological Well-being Practitioners (PWP's) (who provide low intensity CBT for anxiety and depression) and CBT therapists, who offer more high intensity CBT for more complex mental health issues.
