DR DERVILA GEC

I am a clinical psychologist and I have worked for the past 15 years primarily in the public health sector in the areas of adult mental health, young persons’ mental health and for a specialist personality disorder service.

 

I completed my doctoral training in Ireland and as part of my training I conducted research into the experiences of recovery of individuals who live with severe mental health problems. I have also developed and facilitated group programs for people living with a personality disorder and I have provided secondary consultation, training and reflective practice to mental health teams working with people diagnosed with personality disorder. 

​

I am a curious, calm and passionate clinician and I will provide a non-judgemental and reflective space for you to explore your concerns. I draw from a number of therapeutic traditions including mentalisation-based therapy, schema therapy, CBT, mindfulness and psycho-dynamic approaches. I am experienced in working with people with a range of mental health issues and I am passionate about helping you to understand the nature and function of your concerns which can lead to more flexibility and choice in your life.
