Counselling
I offer a safe and caring space where you will be truly listened to and supported with grace and compassion. With the insight that comes from extensive training and experience, my role is to walk alongside you as you work through the unresolved issues of the heart that may be affecting many areas of your life.
My model of counselling is called Theotherapy — a Christian approach that brings resolution and healing to inner & relational conflicts. You are free to share whatever is on your mind, and I will listen intently so that together we can navigate toward peace, strength, and renewed clarity in both heart and mind.
This is a space where faith, understanding, and professional expertise meet.
Training
We are dedicated to equipping individuals, churches & other groups through a range of courses and seminars designed to bring healing, growth, and restoration. One of our core training courses is An Introduction to Pastoral Care and Counselling – Theotherapy Level 1, where we explore the human condition through the lens of the Christian Bible. Level One is the gateway course to other avenues of Training that are validated by Christian Counselling International. There are 5 Levels of comprehensive training in Counseling and other avenues such as the Theotherapy Addiction Studies course and many more.
All Theotherapy predicated with the foundation of reconciliation—restoring a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We can then procede to dealing with ourselves and others. From there, we address real-life challenges such as Dealing with Depression, Navigating Change, and resolving Frustration and Anger and many many more….
What sets Theotherapy apart is its unique focus on ‘The Bridge Of Conflict Resolution’—This is the place where true transformation takes place. Through our teaching courses, we provide practical tools and biblical insights that empower participants to experience and guide ourselves and others into lasting change.
Talks & Seminars
I offer dynamic workshops and seminars grounded in both Biblical truth and sound psychological principles, drawn from over 25 years of counselling experience. My seminars are interactive, engaging, and deeply practical, combining solid theory with real-life clinical insight through the modality of Theotherapy. We explore serious life issues with honesty, humour, and active participation. No question is off limits as we walk through truth together.
Meet Brian Synnott
BA (Hons) Chr&Min, Sup ii BACP, DTT
I am a counsellor, trainer, supervisor, and Christian leader with over 25 years’ experience in pastoral ministry and therapy. My journey into counselling began with a life-changing encounter with God as a teenager — an experience that profoundly altered the direction of my life. Some years later, I found healing in my own heart, which freed me from the negative emotions that had been weighing me down. It was Theotherapy (God’s Healing) that brought deep restoration to my emotional struggles and ignited a lifelong calling to help others find freedom and renewal.
I hold an honours degree in Christian Ministry and Theology from the University of Manchester, am an ordained minister, a qualified supervisor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and have completed my Doctorate Level 5 in Theotherapy.
Alongside my private counselling practice, I have worked extensively across the UK and Ireland with churches, Christian leaders, and more than six residential rehabilitation centres. I am passionate about equipping individuals — especially those in leadership — to thrive emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically.
In addition to counselling, I regularly teach, train, and speak at seminars and conferences. Whether working one-to-one or addressing a room full of people, my heart is always to see lives transformed and people released into their God-given potential.
I live in Ireland with my wife, Doris, and our three sons.
