I’m proud to say we will be exhibiting at this year’s Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) Annual Conference, writes TTM’s HPO Business Manager, Therese Breen.

The PSI Annual Conference 2023 is taking place from 8th to 10th of November, at the Clayton Hotel, Silver Springs, Cork. I am looking forward to being there along with Clinical Therapies Operations Manager Dymphna O’Brien. We look forward to connecting with psychologists and discussing the career opportunities TTM has to offer.

Why the Conference is Important

The PSI is the learned and professional body for Psychology in the Republic of Ireland. PSI members help shape and develop psychology as a science in Ireland, and the organisation strives to promote quality psychological practice and foster learning and growth – by setting high standards of professional education and conduct. The PSI promotes a high standard of training, ethics and education for psychologists in Ireland, and provides members with professional development and networking opportunities.

Over the course of the three-day PSI Conference, there will be a series of workshops and seminars – exposing delegates to the knowledge and learnings of psychology professionals and sharing quality research on psychology and health. We are delighted to participate in what is such a key event to the psychology profession in Ireland.

Introducing our Clinical Therapies Team

Our support helps reduce the length of time parents and guardians wait to get the right diagnosis for their child. At the same time, it helps parents and guardians gain access to the relevant interventions and therapies their child needs.

The AON Assessments include initial psychology intake-to-identify assessment pathway, Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), Cognitive, Adaptive, ADHD and Mental health assessments.
