Profile of John O'Donoghue
I specialize in providing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Stress Management Training to both individual and corporate clients.
CBT is scientifically proven to help people with a wide range of psychological problems. My belief in the power of CBT to help people is such that the main trust of my continuing professional development for the last couple of years, has been in CBT. I am fully accredited by the Institute of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and I was delighted when they recently asked me to become a director of the institute.
I decided to break into mental health initially having been Competence Development Manager for 5 years in a large telecoms multi-national. It was my experience in this role that prompted me to engineer a stress management course specifically for professional people in the technology and finance sectors. Thankfully a much wider pool of people have seen the relevance to their lives also.

Personal testimonies regarding John O'Donoghue
“I wholeheartedly endorse John’s achievements. There is much rhetoric spoken in companies
about the importance of people, "people are our greatest asset" etc but there is often
insufficient effort applied to people issues such as employee satisfaction and competence development.
This is often because managers do not necessarily know what to do !.
John O'Donoghue knows what to do !”
– John Geoghegan (CEO Electus Resources)
"Seldom in my time as a School Administrator have I ever received such a positive reaction
to a visiting speaker, your presentation on Friday was an inspiration for us all.
Your clear delivery, follow-up on questions and your availability afterwards was greatly
appreciated. Your handout is excellent and I will be recommending your services to my
Principal Colleagues."
