Across a couple of weekends in Feb, James and I had the absolute pleasure of delivering our .ie 24 hours CPD approved Professional Cert in Working with ADHDers. 🥳🔥☺️😍

It is always so nourishing and inspiring to facilitate learning and growth experiences for my peers. I grow and learn just as much in the process myself. I feel so grateful to have the opportunity to do what I am passionate about and be given trust and support by my peers. 🙏🏼

We are currently in discussion about rolling out this CPD again, keep an eye out if you are interested. 👀

I have just started into the 2nd year of my PhD at and today I received ethical approval for my research titled “Developing a theoretical and practice framework for working with clients challenged by su***de: A Constructivist Grounded Theory”. 🥳

It is such an honour, and a privilege, to be able to undertake this research and hopefully create knowledge that is useful for clients and the practitioners that work with them.
