Training, evidence & sources
A clear reference point for understanding what the practice says about training, what public evidence can support, and what still needs person-specific confirmation.
This page distinguishes practice-supplied identity, training records, clinical evidence, and public professional standards. It is not a clinical assessment or treatment selector.
Practice identity
The practice-specific identity line is kept separate from public programme records. A qualification, professional-body membership, and statutory registration are different things and should be checked separately.
Public practice line
Therapist
Jacqueline Moran — Pre-Accredited Member IACP. Membership number M15406. Pre-accredited membership and full accreditation are distinct; exact qualifications and relevant training are confirmed separately.
The practice lists Jackie Moran as therapist. Ask the practice for current registration, accreditation, supervision, and scope-of-practice details before booking.
Training records
These public records explain programme validation and study context. They do not verify that Jackie Moran completed a programme, holds current registration, or offers every named modality.
The QQI validation record describes a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy at NFQ Level 8 with 240 credits. It identifies a validated programme; it does not, by itself, verify an individual’s completion or current practice status.

The reference set below keeps research, clinical guidance, training documentation, and professional accountability in their proper lanes. Review date: 20 August 2026.
APA policy · Clinical judgement · Person’s goals
The best available research is considered alongside clinical expertise and the person’s characteristics, culture, and preferences.
295 studies · 30,000+ patients · Association, not proof
A large meta-analysis found a consistent association between the therapeutic alliance and outcomes, while cautioning that association does not prove the relationship caused improvement.
NICE NG222 · NICE CG113 · Assessment matters
Clinical guidance recommends different interventions for different presentations, severity, history, and preferences; a website cannot diagnose or choose treatment.
QQI record · Current registration · Supervision
A qualification documents education and training. It does not, by itself, prove that a particular intervention will help a particular person.
