- Edmund McKillop, Counsellor and Psychotherapist, Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine
Edmund is a counsellor, psychotherapist, consultant, trainer, and founding director of Rosny House Limited. When 18 years old, after receiving unconditional offers to study optometry and pharmacy at university, Edmund decided to train to become a Catholic diocesan priest for Scotland. He was accepted into seminary and began his training in philosophy and theology at the Pontifical University of Salamanca, Spain. After two successful years, he returned to Scotland to complete his training. It was at this time, through a process of discernment, that he decided to not become a priest but to continue his studies to become a high school teacher. Having achieved a Bachelor of Divinity with distinction, from St. Patrick’s Pontifical University in Maynooth, he went on to complete a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education (with distinction) at the University of Glasgow. After teaching for several years, Edmund began to notice that the emotional dynamics in various classes could affect positively or negatively the educational performance of the students. He also became aware of the emotional responses that he experienced towards various groups, and how this impacted on his teaching. Intrigued to learn more, he completed a COSCA (Counselling & Psychotherapy in Scotland) Certificate in Counselling Skills, and discovered that the increase in self-awareness vastly improved his teaching ability. This made him want to learn more, and he embarked on a two year COSCA Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling. He graduated as a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist in 2008, and is registered with COSCA. Edmund taught full-time in high schools for over twenty years, including successful leadership roles in pastoral care and subject management. He now teaches students who are training to be counsellors. He launched his own private practice called Rosny House, and continues to work in education and business as a consultant.

- Rosie Elvin, Coaching, Workplace Training , Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine
Rosie's main focus is supporting adults with ADHD in Higher Education or the workplace, through her ADHD Coaching for Adults services, awareness talks and e books and video courses. She specialises in coaching individuals in creative industries and academia who have received an ADHD diagnosis or exhibit traits associated with ADHD in their adulthood. At the age of 43, Rosie finally received confirmation of her ADHD.

As more adults are diagnosed with ADHD later in life, her extensive 16 years of experience teaching at University level and working in the design industry, uniquely positions me her to understand and address the challenges faced by adults navigating ADHD.
