PCI graduate Barbara Fiori, winner of the 2025 Martin Kitterick Award, features on the newest episode of Therapists Talk Therapy.

Barbara has also been awarded the IACP Undergraduate Research Excellence Award for her research on bilingual trainee counsellors providing therapy in English as a second language.

We couldn't be prouder 🏆

Barbara's work is a valuable contribution to the therapy literature and makes for a fascinating listen.

Tune in to hear more about her research, its findings, and why it matters not only for multilingual therapists but for all therapists working with clients whose first language differs from their own.

5 Myths About Becoming a Therapist in Ireland (And what the reality actually is)

Is a career in counselling on your mind, but you’re worried you’ve "missed the boat" or don't have the right degree?
You aren't alone. These myths stop incredibly capable people from taking a step that could change their lives. Dan O’Mahony from PCI College is setting the record straight.
Did you know?

✅ Most therapists in Ireland start as mature students from non-psychology backgrounds.
✅ You can train part-time while keeping your current job.
✅ Your own "life struggles" don't disqualify you—they often make you a more empathetic "wounded healer."
✅ 92% of Irish adults believe seeking therapy is a good idea, yet waiting lists are at an all-time high. We need you.

Don't let outdated information stop you from pursuing a calling that genuinely helps others.
