Richard Hogan impressed me with the work he did on the TV show "Raised by the village" because I am a believer that it actually does take a village to raise a child! So, I reached out to him and invited him on my podcast!Richard is a psychotherapist who specialises in working with families. He is from Cork and, following his English degree from University College Cork, he qualified as a secondary school teacher. His early classroom experiences prompted him to train as a psychotherapist. He has been in practice for a decade and is clinical director of the Therapy Institute in Dublin. Richard is the recipient of a Fulbright Award and is completing a PhD exploring the intersection between psychological models of the family and educational theory, with a particular focus on inclusion. He writes a weekly Irish Examiner column about the mental health issues of teenagers, couples and families and makes frequent TV and radio appearances, including as a regular contributor to Brendan O'Connor on RTÉ Radio 1 and as the series psychologist on the Virgin Media One show Eating with the Enemy. His first book was Parenting the Screenager and also has a bestselling book "Home is Where the Start is". Richard lives in Dublin with his family.
