In her long career spanning 30 years, she has worked with children and their parents, adolescents and adults in settings that have included, Montessori pre-school, learning support in primary schools, play specialist in Crumlin children’s hospital and support worker in community centres in areas of social disadvantage with Dublin City Council. Most recently she has worked as a school counsellor in a DEIS secondary school and with an adult counselling service. Dera also worked in the Australian outback for 12 years, where she ran a pre-school. This afforded her the experience of working with children (and their families) with diverse cultural heritage.
She qualified as a psychotherapist in 2010 and describes this move as having been the best way forward for her to use her experience and continue to work supportively with people. Dera believes that therapy will help you to explore what you need in your life, to best support yourself and to bring about change. She provides the warmth and safety necessary for people to be able to freely express their thoughts and feelings about their experiences.
She believes that healing happens in the therapeutic relationship.
