Jigsaw Limerick

Study and work

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist. I have a particular interest in meaning-making and helping young people to make sense of their experiences.

Study and work

I worked in administration for over 10 years and moved to Jigsaw Limerick recently. I love how varied and rewarding the role is. My favourite part of the role is interacting with the young people in person or over the phone.

Study and work

I am qualified as a Clinical Psychologist and have previously worked with young people in both child and adult mental health services. I am really interested in collaborating with young people to understand and make sense of the challenges they experience in their everyday lives.

Study and work

I am from Clare but I’ve spent most of my professional life in Limerick working with young people. I studied in Mary Immaculate College and completed my HDip in Education at NUI Galway. I am delighted to be part of the team here in Limerick because it gives me an opportunity to raise awareness about mental health and to help young people feel valued and supported.

Later I trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist and worked in private practice. Initially I worked mainly with adults but as I started to work with more young people I realised how much I enjoyed it. As I was passionate about the potential for change within youth mental health, I felt like Jigsaw would be a good fit for me.

Outside of work I enjoy yoga, hiking, outdoor swimming, being part of a community garden, and sitting in my own garden chilling with the neighbour’s cat.

Study and work

I graduated from NUIG with a BSc in Occupational Therapy in 2022 and was lucky enough to begin my career in Jigsaw.

I am passionate about working with young people to support their health and well-being, through health promotion strategies and the engagement in meaningful occupations. Jigsaw provides a diverse platform to do just that!

Study and Work

I did an Arts Degree when I finished school and went on to do Higher Diploma in Social Policy and a Masters in Social Work graduating in 2010. Before starting in Jigsaw in June 2023 I worked for over 10 years in Child Mental Health. I made the move to Jigsaw because their values were in line with mine. I am passionate about working with young people to work through any challenges they may face and support them to advocate for themselves to improve their pathways in life.

Work and Study

I have also spent a number of years working in University Students Unions and advocating for people that needed it. I then went back to college to get my Masters in counselling and psychotherapy as I am passionate about supporting and empowering people to overcome challenges and to live their best lives. I enjoy working with younger people as they have such a unique energy. It’s rewarding to see the positive impact that supporting them can have. This is why it was a no-brainer for me to work with an organisation like Jigsaw.
