A bit about me.
COUNSELLOR & PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Iris
My name is Iris Brennan. I’m originally from Israel but I have been living in Lisburn for over 35 years.
I spent 27 years of my life working at Marks and Spencer as a Section Coordinator. After studying for 5 years, I became an MNCS accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist working with adults, children and young people. When we went into lockdown in 2020, I embraced the opportunity to reflect on my career path and took the plunge to pursue a full-time career in counselling.
I’m a living example that it’s never too late to take the first step.
