Community Links Programme - creating opportunity for all

Fiona Masterson - Project Manager.

Fiona joined Pathways Through Education in 2001. Fiona began working as psychotherapist in London after graduating from Birkbeck College in London in 1997 with a Masters degree in Psychodynamic Counselling. Fiona’s work in this area began with a programme for mothers with young children and with adults in organisations with specific remits for Irish clients. Fiona received specific training on workshops with Sue Krowski of the Women’s Therapy Centre during this time. This led to a continuing interest in cultural needs and experiential learning workshops. Prior to that Fiona worked in London in the area of homelessness and psychiatric residential care. Fiona has developed the Pathways Through Education programme to follow psychological developmental models and introduced the highly successful Celtic Myth Film Project in 2003. Fiona completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology in University College Dublin in 1989.
