ART psychotherapist, Patrick Byrne, says our elderly population has “possibly suffered the most since the pandemic landed on our shores over a year ago”.
He believes that the provision of emotional support as we begin to emerge from Covid-19 “is crucial” for the wellbeing of all our population, and particularly for our ageing population.
Patrick is the resident art psychotherapist at the Carrigaline Family Centre. He also has a private practice in Wilton.
