Smart TMS Dublin, Ireland

Joe has always had a natural curiosity to understand how and why people do the things they do. His keen interest in human psychology encouraged him to pursue a BA in Psychology at University College Dublin. It was during his time in UCD that he discovered the intriguing field of Forensic Psychology.

Joe’s interest in Forensic Psychology informed his decision to complete an MSc in this field at the University of Surrey. He completed a range of modules which covered the area in which human psychology and the law intersect and chose to study a novel form of deception detection that had been pioneered by his supervisor in collaboration with the CIA as part of his Master’s thesis.

Joe then returned to Dublin where he held a range of posts in the field of mental healthcare including: Assistant Educational Psychologist, Suicide Risk Assessment Officer, Assistant Forensic Psychologist, and Residential Social Care Worker. He developed a keen insight into the harsh reality of mental health disorders and further honed his empathy. He also learned the subtle art of facilitating therapy and how to score and interpret psychometrics, as well as a variety of psychodiagnostic techniques.

Joe loves rock climbing, slacklining, cycling, motorbiking, drawing, gaming, writing and travelling.
