Dr Paul Gaffney helps people get results when working under pressure. He is Lead Consultant in High Performance Sport Clinical Psychology at the Sport Ireland Institute and was Head of Psychology for Team Ireland for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

You may have heard his name if you're a fellow snooker fan, as Paul also works with professional snooker player Mark Allen.

Paul's journey to become a clinical psychologist was influenced by personal loss and the guidance of mentors.

In this episode we discuss:

using intuition to judge if someone needs support or space,

managing anxiety and conflict,

connecting over a coffee to support mental health.

Listen in to hear Paul's thoughts on communication, coffee and connection!
