I graduated with an Honours Degree and continued with my studies by completing a Masters Degree in Oxford, U.K. Through further education and training I obtained qualifications in Psychotherapy and Child Psychology, with a focus on depression, anger management, bullying, creative arts therapies and family therapy.
I have worked as a teacher in Post Primary Education in both VEC and Secondary Schools, which included work on a behavioural support programme for excluded students. I also worked as a Youth Officer with Foroige, designing and facilitating programmes for young people. For a number of years I have been a keynote speaker on a range of topics affecting teenagers.
I continue to work in private practice and in a number of schools as a therapist and facilitator and for the last number of years have focused on working with families, to include courses for parents of children, pre-teens and teenagers.
