She is a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Family Therapist with a passion for exploring Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity in both her professional and personal life.

Working with marginalised groups such as those at risk for homelessness, ethnic minorities, the LGBTI+ community and people diagnosed with HIV allowed her to witness first-hand the direct relationship between poor mental health and discrimination. Throughout her career she has brought an EDI lens to her work in multiple types of organisations with adults, youth, couples, families and groups. She values the diversity in the work that she has done which has allowed her to be challenged by different perspectives on an ongoing basis. Along with Liliana Morales, she is co-founder of PARC Training and has developed and delivered training on proactive non-discriminatory practice for mental health professionals. She co-formed the EDI subcommittee in Family Therapy Association of Ireland and represents this group on the FTAI Executive Board. Her current position is in youth mental health as Regional Clinical Manager for Jigsaw. She continues her life long striving to have humility when working with people who are different from her.
