“Our Unvarnished Impressions of CBT and Feeling Good (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) Dublin:
From the moment I stepped into CBT and Feeling Good, it was apparent that Veronica is passionate about her profession. Her infectious energy combined with a truly caring nature immediately put me at ease, allowing us to dive straight into my therapy sessions. I cannot speak highly enough of her expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – she knows exactly what questions to ask, when prompts are needed and how to tailor each session towards achieving optimum results.
Experiencing anxiety can make life feel like such a struggle sometimes but since visiting CBT and Feeling Good, my outlook on life has changed significantly for the better! By focusing on changing negative thinking patterns that were previously holding me back, I found myself feeling significantly more confident day-to-day.
Overall, This business provided exceptional service from start to finish as well as having affordable fees!. Whether you have been battling anxieties or depressions for years or months only- don’t hesitate- go see Veronica without any delay. I guarantee you will not regret taking this brave step forward toward mental well-being because she truly gave me new lease of life.!”
One to One CBT review examples
Hey Veronica – greetings from Amsterdam! I got on the flight! It was fine! I ate, I read! Amazing. Thanks for all your help.
Hi Veronica
Hope life is peachy for you.
Since you’re so wonderful at what you do, I wanted to send you a testimonial to use on your site if you like. And it only took me three months to sit down and do it, fair play to me.
“Veronica is wonderful at what she does – I still can’t believe that in three short hours, the techniques she showed me changed my life completely. I went to Veronica suffering from crippling anxiety which had basically taken over my life and prevented me from doing the things I wanted to do. She was easy to talk to and made me feel understood. She gave me some coping techniques and challenged me to question my way of thinking. The results were instant. Before CBT, I really thought I was beyond help, and that life would be terrible forever. Now I feel like I can deal with anything. If you’re anything like I was, I would strongly recommend going to Veronica and seeing for yourself the profound changes CBT can make to your head and your life.”
That’s it! Thanks again Veronica, I’m a new woman – but still entirely mad, of course.
Live long and prosper.
Veronica!! I just wanted to update you on my progress since our session in Camden street almost 2 weeks ago. I cannot believe the change in my thinking around public speaking. A few days after our session I delivered the calmest presentation of my life to a major client and actually enjoyed it. This from a person with a full on phobia. As it turned out, I had to give another 2 presentations this week to the business and while I did have to consciously manage myself, I did just fine. I’m loving The Chimp Paradox – my only concern is that I’m nearly finished reading it. Please send me more suggestions. I am utterly converted for life to CBT! I’d have spent the rest of my life in a tiny box, afraid to play big and fulfill my potential if I hadn’t been introduced to CBT. I cannot thank you enough or overstate how important the work you do is. I’m sure I’ll be in touch again for top ups in other areas of my life. Thank you!!!
Hi Veronica
I thought I would just drop you a note to say thank you for your advice and the work book you sent last week.On Monday I stood up in front of 20 people and delivered a 70 slide presentation with very few nerves and the feeling of absolute control of the crowd “I loved it”.I honestly feel I have replaced my bad experience of presenting with positive thoughts and enjoyment, with the simple thought sheet in the back of the work book.So once again thank you for showing me the power of CBTMany thanks.
“I highly recommend Veronica’s CBT program. I initially went as I was finding it difficult to deal with the pressures and worries caused by infertility and IVF. I discovered a philosophy and techniques that I can use in every aspect of my life and work. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and no matter what life throws at me, I have the tools to deal with it!”
Hi Veronica, just a quick message to say I started my new job and haven’t had any issues with meetings etc so thank again for the workshops. They’ve really helped. All the best.
“I actually still can’t believe that after only one afternoon I can now give presentations in work without falling apart. I still don’t like it, but I can do it and I can do it well – Veronica is a legend!”
“Hi. Felt I had to write to tell you how much has changed for me, even though I only had a few sessions last year. Veronica – everything has changed for me! It’s mad. New job. New girlfriend. New everything. Thank you! Also, hurrah for beta blockers, I’m telling the world and his wife! Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re the best.”
“Dear Veronica – I went to see you in December and have been meaning to get back to you to say thank you. I really got so much out of the afternoon and my back pain is dramatically less as a result of the session. I just ‘dial it down’ now instead of up and it’s just amazing what one line can do. So thank you – it was just what I needed. Kind regards [private client].”
Dearest Veronica, just a little thank you card for all your help and learnings since I started working with you. It really has changed my perspective and I love the laughs on the journey too :-)
“I’m sorry I’ve not been in touch in a while. I just wanted to let you know that your sessions with me made a really big difference to my particular issue! I’m almost completely free of the dread of flying – the anticipatory element in the lead up to flying – and the flight itself was fine.
I’m flying next week and I’m not at all worried about it and in fact even looking forward to the destination. I’ve more flights then to [redacted], [redacted] and [redacted] in May and June.
I’d have been dreading that and seeing mid June as the ‘watershed’ when I’d my flying ‘done’ and I could get back to ‘life’! Now I’m actually looking forward to the destinations and am even able to google about them – I couldn’t even bring myself to do this before because of the dread.
I’m doing the exercises that you gave me and I’ve taken to visualising my Amygdyla (if that’s how it is spelled!)
Anyhow – I just want to let you know how grateful I am to you and to say how skillful you are at communicating all that you do and in putting me in a space where I could listen and also be heard by you. I’m really indebted to you.
So – anyhow – I’m going to keep working on it and hope that I keep improving.”
Company and Organisation Workplace training review examples
“I thought this was one of the best presentations I’ve seen in a long time, Veronica was so engaging and managed a difficult subject with humour.. I’d very much recommend Veronica’s talk to everyone”
“She was brill, really engaging and made the topic memorable and entertaining”
“Veronica was inspiring and reassuring, and I would recommend her both to individuals and companies”
“A very inspiring hour which flew in, great insight to how things have changed over the years and food for thought to use on a daily basis – thank you!”
“Veronica was like a breath of fresh air, informative, engaging, funny, reassuring!! I know that I left the room feeling happier”
Veronica Walsh recently completed one to one CBT sessions with a number of our clients. These clients had reached a certain point in their lives and their recovery from addiction and were unable to move forward. This left them struggling to commit to attending anything that might help. Veronica worked with these clients where they were at and tackled their individual blockages with them. She taught them strategies to recognise and overcome similar situations if and when they should arise again. Client attendance for the 5 week Programme was 100% and all clients have since expressed an interest in continuing this work. The insight into their self-sabotaging thinking has empowered these clients beyond recognition. I think that these results speaks volumes for her work, her understanding of people and her empathy for them and her commitment to facilitate change in their lives.
“Veronica Walsh presented Mind Mapping to a staff group from three organisations and delivered an interesting and stimulating session which captured the basics of visual note taking and presentation in a half day event.Participants were engaged throughout and found the creation of relevant mind maps in a group setting a valuable way to embed the learning.”
Our staff thoroughly enjoyed Veronica Walsh’s recent CBT presentation, ‘Happiness In The Workplace.’Feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
Veronica is engaging, inspiring and compelling. A breath of fresh air, we highly recommend her for staff development.
“Veronica is a gifted trainer whose down-to-earth approach is tailored for every client. Brilliantly perceptive and generous with her time and talent, she makes a real difference to those with whom she works.”
“Veronica is an excellent and compelling advocate for CBT: her presentation content, coupled with her engaging speaking style, greatly added to the experience of our event for attendees.”
The Northside Partnership has used Veronica Walsh to deliver her Coping Skills and Feeling Good programme to our unemployed clients. The programme has been extremely well received both by the Northside Partnership and the participants. Veronica is professional in her approach and has great empathy with our clients. We definitely intend using her again to deliver this programme.”
“A huge thank you to Veronica Walsh who recently spoke at our Executive PA Forum on Visual Note-taking and Mind Mapping Technique, which went down extremely well at the event.
She also delivered a workshop on the Cognitive Science of Public Speaking – her presentation style is highly engaging, she is enthusiastic about her subject matter, and held everybody’s attention for 3 hours.
We had hugely positive feedback on both of Veronica’s presentations and I would highly recommend her for any speaking engagement or training.”
I can highly recommend Veronica Walsh who was a guest speaker at my first year Critical Thinking and Independent Learning Skills Module at Dublin City University (DCU). Veronica took the class for a seminar on Mind Mapping and Visual Note Taking and her presentation was both stimulating and engaging.
The intention was for students to be persuaded of the benefits of visual note taking and to see how they could utilise the techniques for studying, writing essays and more. Due to the ever-present budget constraints Veronica only took one class, but the feedback was excellent and many of the students asked whether she could return.
Veronica’s delivery is accessible and the vast majority of students, whether or not they had engaged with the topic beforehand, found her engaging and effective.
I would highly recommend this hour, or preferably more, to other institutions interested in enhancing the student learning experience and preparing students for studying and exam success.
Since the economic downturn, the County Library Tallaght has responded to the particular needs of customers who find themselves at a pivotal point in their lives. They may be facing into long-term unemployment or battling for attention in a highly competitive job market. Either way, people have found that they now need a different set of skills to help them manage in this uncertain environment – one which may be troubled by feelings of stress and anxiety.
In order to address some of these problems and concerns, we asked Veronica Walsh to run her very popular Coping Skills for Jobseekers course at the County Library in September. Participants were introduced to CBT techniques which empowered them to think about their situation in a different way and face the future with a more optimistic frame of mind.
Feedback from the course was unanimously positive. People praised the friendly atmosphere of the group which encouraged the participation of all involved. They learned how irrational thoughts can effect how you behave and what to do about them. Participants were taught different techniques of effecting attitude changes and how to apply them to their own life in a practical way. The day was fun and lively with plenty of discussion and participants left armed with their new knowledge.
Calasanctius Collge, Galway, highly recommend Veronica Walsh’s ‘Student Smart Skills Workshop’. This is a professional, informative and engaging workshop teaching students practical coping skills for everyday life. Superb presentation and group work delivering worthwhile coping skills, particularly in ‘Fight or Flight’ situations. Our TY students thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from the work shop.

Sheryle Lyman on December 16, 2017
Hello Veronica – I live in north central Florida, and have been in practice about 4 years (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy.) Also I find that many clients like to work on psychodynamic insight therapy, I tell them all the time that while insight is great, I haven’t seen it motivate an awful lot of change. CBT seems to make change easier to achieve, and your worksheets are stunning. May I share them with my clients? Thanks so much! I will not redistribute nor rebrand them. (Promise
Lisa Peyton on October 7, 2016
