About

Hello and welcome to Coaching PosAutivity. I am a psychological coach and have completed Accredited Coach Specific Training with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). My training has helped me to explore what it means for me to be autistic and how I can be my authentic self with my clients. I want to support autistic clients by creating a safe and neuro-affirming space for them, and tailor sessions for each client. Here, they can explore ways of moving forward in areas where they may feel stuck; harness their strengths and potential; work through issues that are important to them. I collaborate with them to achieve their goals.

​

I previously worked as a laboratory technician before taking a career break to give extra support to my family. During this time I knew I wanted to balance my family and caring duties with work and decided to retrain. While undertaking a Diploma in Autism Studies I began to realise that I could be autistic. Discovering my autistic identity as an adult has been life-changing for me. I am proud to be autistic and part of a neurodiverse family. Being back in college also reignited a passion for learning. I love to know what motivates people. I went on to complete my HDip in Psychology before training as a professional coach. I am currently studying for a MA in Applied Psychology (Positive Psychology and Coaching).

​

I am a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and abide by their ethics and professional standards. I am a graduate member of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) and a member of Special Interest Groups in both Coaching Psychology and in Autism. I am fully insured.

I am based in Cork, Ireland and provide coaching and consultancy online, or I can facilitate in person meetings in the Cork area.
