For about 30 years while working in Dublin, Michelo conducted individual, couple, family and group psychotherapy in the Psychosomatic and Psychiatric Units of St. James’s Hospital, St. Patrick’s University Hospital and St. Edmundsbury Hospital (where he was Principal Psychologist). He is currently in private practice in Monkstown and lectures in psychology and psychotherapy in TCD. Michelo has published about 80 articles on psychotherapy, meditation, mindfulness and evolution.
He has primary degrees in Genetics and Psychology, as well as an H.Dip.Ed, a research M.Sc and a Ph.D. – all from TCD. His doctorate was on the psycho-physiological, personality, mindfulness and other aspects of meditation. Michelo later obtained an M.Psych.Sc. in Psychotherapy from UCD. In 1990 Michelo was co-founder in Tokyo of “The Transnational Network for Physical, Psychological and Spiritual Well-Being” which, by holding conferences internationally every two years and by publishing their Proceedings, sought to introduce Eastern perspectives into Western Psychology. As a result of these Network conferences, Michelo regularly met up with Jon Kabat-Zinn, who introduced mindfulness meditation to the USA.view less
