About
Mr. Corey McCrann is a Pre-Accredited Member of the Irish Counselling, Psychotherapy & Allied Healthcare Professionals Association (ICPHAA), working as an Addiction Support Worker. He is based in Mohill, Co. Leitrim.
He holds a Professional Diploma in Addiction Studies. His training covered the psychological, biological and social factors that contribute to substance use and behavioural addictions, theories of recovery, motivational and relapse-prevention approaches, the impact of addiction on families, and ethical practice within support work.
Mr. McCrann's approach is described as compassionate, evidence-informed and client-centred. He aims to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where people can explore what lies beneath their use of alcohol, drugs or other behaviours, develop healthier ways of coping, and rebuild structure, purpose and a sense of control in their lives.
Pre-Accredited membership is the stage of ICPHAA membership for practitioners who have completed their core training and are building the supervised practice hours and professional development required for full accreditation. Pre-accredited members practise within the scope of their training, with regular clinical supervision.
His work is focused on addiction and recovery support, which typically includes helping people understand their situation, set realistic goals, plan for difficult situations and connect with other appropriate services. It does not include formal psychotherapy.

Approach and services
Mr. McCrann offers addiction recovery support for adults affected by alcohol, drug or behavioural dependency in the Leitrim area.
For people who are unsure whether they want to change, he can help them look honestly at the effects of their use, consider their own reasons for change and decide on a manageable first step, without pressure or judgement.
For those who have decided to change, support can include building a practical recovery plan: identifying triggers, developing coping strategies for cravings and stress, creating routines and planning for situations that carry a higher risk of relapse. If a lapse occurs, the focus is on understanding what happened rather than on blame.
He can also support people with the wider effects of addiction, such as low confidence, isolation, family strain and difficulties at work, and can help them think about rebuilding relationships and a sense of purpose.
Where medical, detoxification, residential or psychotherapeutic support is needed, he can help people understand the options. Addiction support is not an emergency service; anyone at immediate risk should contact 112 or 999.
A first appointment is usually used to discuss what has prompted the person to seek support, to agree goals, and to explain practical arrangements such as session length, frequency, fees, cancellation and the limits of confidentiality. Confidentiality is maintained except where there is a serious risk of harm to the client or others, or where disclosure is required by law, and these limits are explained at the outset.
The number of sessions varies from person to person and is reviewed together over time. People are free to ask questions about the approach being used, to raise any concerns about how the work is going, and to end the work at any point. Choosing a practitioner is a personal decision, and it is reasonable to make initial contact with more than one practitioner before deciding.
Practitioners listed in the ICPHAA directory work within the scope of their category of membership and refer on where a client's needs are better met by another service, such as a general practitioner, community mental health team or specialist agency.
Appointments with Mr. McCrann can be arranged through telephone or email. Fees, cancellation terms and availability should be confirmed directly with the practitioner before the first session. Information shared when making an enquiry is handled confidentially by the practitioner.
