Suzanne Breen

Suzanne is a fully qualified Neurofeedback Therapist and Play Therapist.  Her main work focus for 20 years has been with children and families as a primary school teacher and children’s worker with Women’s Aid.  Together with an honours degree in Psychology, her work has enabled her to specialise in child development and to observe first-hand the various life events which impact children.  More recently she has focused on childhood trauma and its many effects on the individual throughout the lifespan.  Many traumatised children struggle to self-regulate which affects their emotions, behaviours, attention and well-being.  Consequently, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are now well known to be the foundation of many adult problems such as addictions, sleep problems, anti-social behaviour, relationship difficulties, eating disorders to name a few.  It was a desire to help soothe the traumatised young brain, in terms of prevention, that was a main driver behind Suzanne’s career move to neurofeedback therapy.  She has now expanded her neurofeedback practice to include adults; in particular she has worked with adults who have had strokes, or are experiencing anxiety and depression.  In addition, she has successfully treated clients who have been diagnosed ADHD, Autistic, clients with sleep problems, PTSD and those who wish to improve their creative performance.
