Brighid Daly

Brighid Daly is a Biodynamic & Integrative Psychotherapist, Supervisor, Health-Creation Mentor and the Founder of S.A.O.R Counselling and Psychotherapy Centres available in counties Kerry & Galway.

These centres provide a safe and private setting where confidential professional care is available for the child (Play Therapy) the adult (Counselling & Psychotherapy) and the family unit (Family Therapy).

The centres also offer educational evenings and the annual availability of Stones Across Our River, which is a four step self-development course dedicated to raising awareness and restoring a deep sense of meaning, awe and wonder to life and our inherent right to experience the privilege of living it more peace fully.

Native to Kerry, Ireland, Brighid emigrated to the United States in 1984, where she began to study the Indian philosophy of Yoga.  This proved to be the foundation of a life-long fascination with cross-cultural wisdom teachings and their universal message of wholeness as the highest and healthiest state of being human.  As a result of a subsequent move to Denver, Colorado in 1989, she discovered and began to study the Native American culture and its richly humanistic, oral tradition.

Piqued with curiosity, Brighid spent 1991 on a world tour, during which she immersed herself further in multiple cultures and their health and healing systems. While living in New York City in 1992, Brighid was first inspired to create profoundly-engaging classes encouraging people to attend to their deeper needs as pre-requisites for healing and wellbeing.

Brighid brought this rich foundation to Galway, Ireland, in 1993 and began teaching two groups weekly in the Galway Bay Health Centre, where she introduced ancient Irish symbols as valuable teaching tools.  She continued developing this concept at the centre until 2004 while training as a Bio-Dynamic and Integrative Psychotherapist an eventual Supervisor.  This strengthened her ability to impart these beautiful and powerful teachings in a more professional and programmatic way.

In 2001, Brighid was invited to bring her work to Slánú Cancer Care Centre where she co-facilitated the weekly programme.  Whilst there, she trained as a Health Creation Mentor with Dr Rosy Daniel, founder of Health Creation, UK.

Brighid returned to live in Kerry in 2006, where she has since practised as a Psychotherapist and Supervisor and continues to explore creative ways to help us explore our potential and encourage growth. She continues to offer her Bridge annually as a life- affirming natural path encourages us to walk from the land of self-care as burden to the land of self-care as privilege.
