Positive Pathways Counselling, Coaching, and Wellbeing Services

Who is Shauna Cathcart?

I am an Accredited BACP Counsellor/Psychotherapist holding a BSc. Hons degree (First Class) from PCI College Dublin. I have also completed a Diploma in Relationship Counselling with Relate NI in Belfast.

I am a qualified coach having gained a Diploma in Life and Business coaching from The Irish Life Coach Institute.

I work as a Wellbeing consultant, trainer and Leadership coach for Inspire Wellbeing in Belfast. I also run Positive Pathways, my private practice in Enniskillen.

Prior to working as a therapist and Professional coach I worked in the field of Education as a Primary school teacher, Vice-Principal and a school Principal.

My passion for wellbeing led me to be successfully seconded to The Regional Training Unit in Belfast to develop a suite of Wellbeing materials for schools across Northern Ireland to optimise achievement. This was funded by The Department of Education and Barnardos.

I have been privileged to sit on a number of Department of Education working groups focused on Promoting Emotional Health and Wellbeing for pupils and staff in schools. I also sat on Teacher Health & Wellbeing (THAW) working group developing a Strategy for Teacher Health & Wellbeing in Northern Ireland.

I am very fortunate that my interest and commitment to wellbeing has been recognised and I was awarded travel bursaries/scholarships to travel internationally to Australia, Canada and America to research best practice in wellbeing.

I frequently contribute to wellbeing conferences delivering talks and workshops on topics such as Stress management & Resilience building.

I am very committed to my own personal development and strive to keep up to date with new developments in wellbeing. I have been privileged to complete training programmes with some of the leading experts in the field such as Dr Rick Hanson, Dr Tony Humphreys, Dr Sue Roffey, Dr Toni Noble & Dr Les Greenberg.
