Hello, my name is Lisa.

​

I graduated with a B.Sc. (Hons) degree in Occupational Therapy from Trinity College Dublin in 2007.

​

I also hold a postgraduate diploma in Psychology, a postgraduate certificate in Advanced Clinical Practice, and a professional diploma in Cross Professional Supervision.

​

In addition to being a CORU registered occupational therapist, I am also an experienced clinical supervisor and an accredited QQI trainer.

​

My Experience:

​

After qualifying in 2007, I was fortunate to work for 16 years across the public sector (HSE), private, community and charitable sectors, giving me a significant breadth and depth of clinical experience, primarily within mental health and primary care settings.

​

I moved into private practice in 2023 and now focus on working with adults who are late diagnosed/identified Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, Dyslexic and/or Dyspraxic.

​

As a neurodivergent occupational therapist, I offer a unique perspective of professional knowledge, skills and expertise complemented by my own lived experience.

​​​

My Approach:

​

As a neurodivergent healthcare professional, I am very aware of how challenging accessing health and support services can be for neurodivergent people and so I endeavour to ensure that I provide an accessible, safe, supportive and non-judgemental space for everyone who chooses to work with me.

​​​

My clinical, supervisory and training practice is underpinned by human rights, disability rights and social justice. My practice is trauma informed, neuro-affirmative and LGBTQIA+ affirming.

​

It is always a privilege when fellow members of the neurodivergent community choose to work with me.
