How we got here

Alan and Helen have each spent over twenty years working in healthcare, often alongside people at some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Their paths have developed differently over the years — Alan through counselling and psychotherapy, and Helen through group facilitation and shadow work — but both have been shaped by a curiosity about what helps people heal, grow and connect.

Croí Connections — croí is the Irish word for heart — grew from that understanding and a belief that meaningful change needs space. A place for connection, openness and exploring the parts of ourselves that can sometimes be difficult to reach alone, whether through individual therapy, group work or retreats.
