TODAY'S GUEST

Mick Devine is a Counsellor specialising in the area of addiction. He is Clinical Director of a leading addiction treatment agency in Cork, Ireland, Tabor Group.

He has over 30 years of experience as a counsellor and has been a member of the Diamond Approach Inner Work School for over 20 years.

His particular area of interest is working with people impacted by addiction, their own and others. He is especially interested in working with people raised by parents who had alcohol use disorder.

In addition, he is interested in people’s ongoing personal development and how life issues and crises open opportunities for spiritual growth and development.

Mick is also an accredited clinical supervisor and enjoys delivering training focused on experiential learning.

WHO AM I?

I'm your producer and host, Eve Menezes Cunningham, author of 365 Ways to Feel Better: Self-care Ideas for Embodied Wellbeing (Pen & Sword, 2017), freelance journalist and Editor-in-Chief of the Irish Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I'm also an online trauma therapist (with lived experience), supervisor and Self care coach (integrating yoga therapy, NLP, EFT and crystals as appropriate) helping people connect with and take better care of their Self. Past Chair of BACP Coaching, I run Feel Better Every Day with Eve Menezes Cunningham (aka selfcarecoaching.net).

I started The Feel Better Every Day Podcast because I realised that even with the focus of my work being self and Self care (for 20 years now!), I often struggle. And so do so many of my colleagues. We're all human! So I interviewed several of them including neuroscientists, authors writing about health and wellbeing, fitness professionals, therapists, coaches, energy workers and medical professionals.

We ALL have gaps and even gulfs between what we would LOVE to be doing for ourselves each day and what we actually do. My hope with each episode is that you'll go easier on yourself and do something rather than nothing from your own ideal self or Self care repertoire. Create a life you don't need to retreat from! Let me know how you get on! I really love hearing from y'all.
