I would definitely recommend these life story sessions to my friends. It’s just great to open up. Things like my grandfather being a coal importer. People wouldn’t know that, but that’s history.\u00a0 This experience was fun for both myself and Peter.<\/p>\n
I am very privileged and grateful.<\/p>\n
Love always<\/p>\n

Michelle helped my mother May to write her story. This meant a great deal to my mam and gave her a real sense of joy and purpose. My mother always looked forward to Michelle\u2019s visits. She has a warm, gentle manner and was truly lovely company.<\/p>\n
Michelle\u2019s kindness, patience, and genuine interest made a lasting impression on her. She is a lovely person and exceptionally good at what she does, especially in her work with older adults. I would highly recommend her without hesitation.<\/p>\n

I am an open book and it is my pleasure to be asked to contribute to our parish archives. I found speaking about my life story therapeutic.<\/p>\n
Conversations with Michelle each week flowed and were effortless. People will read it and see that life is not perfect and we should embrace being human.<\/p>\n
I am part of the magic and I’m so grateful for that.<\/p>\n

Over the years it has become very clear to me that every person has a story worth telling.<\/span><\/p>\n Every life story is unique, and every person\u2019s wishes are different. Once your story is complete, you decide what happens next.<\/span><\/p>\n Families often discover stories they have never heard before, gaining a deeper understanding of their parents\u2019, grandparents\u2019, and loved ones\u2019 lives. These stories become treasured keepsakes that preserve family history, strengthen relationships, and bridge the gap between generations.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lifestorywork.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/psychologist-illustration-02b.png” title_text=”psychologist-illustration-02b” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”150px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”tel:0876700837″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Get in Touch with me” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”39bc6ff8-2ae7-478b-8e61-598e5d8cd6de” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Features” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-fa3e187d-20a7-4c5a-962d-49a38117a4cc” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-fa3e187d-20a7-4c5a-962d-49a38117a4cc%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”The Process | How Long Does it Take” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”2bdf6cc2-7a57-4eb5-8a53-80d34575497b” title_text_color=”gcid-bcc99e3b-722a-4dba-85e5-49c6d1592562″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-bcc99e3b-722a-4dba-85e5-49c6d1592562%22:%91%22title_text_color%22%93}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”93eae386-9db0-44f8-af83-e6d406185a68″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Typically we sit or meet for 30 – 60 minutes or so – maybe once a week for 4\/5 weeks.
