As a neurodivergent individual that has lived in and traversed a neurotypical world, I have travelled across the globe ultimately returning back to my native country,  where I have collectively:

• Worked in multiple academic, statutory and private institutions at an international level supporting neurodivergent individuals at both an academic level as well as within the wraparound care service model to both the individual and their families. 
• Provided 1:1 therapy, couples therapy, and clinical supervision to a range of professionals and trainees either face-to-face, online and a hybrid of both. 
• Provided clinical supervision to both trainees to senior level therapists, other clinical and medical professionals, that also specialised in providing bespoke clinical supervision to either neurodivergent or professionals who supported neurodivergent individuals. This was on a regular or adhoc basis.
• Developed and delivered both educational and therapeutic training across a range of neurodivergent themes to therapeutic, educational, and community care organisations across the island of Ireland and the United Kingdom. 
• Developed and delivered neuroinclusive consultancy to a range of small family businesses as well as consulting with a broader team of individuals from a range of support systems who collectively provide support and care to neurodivergent individuals.

In all of these roles, I have worked in collaboration with a wide range of support networks and devoted my career to connecting with those that often feel disconnected and misinterpreted by the world around them. My goal has always been to empower individuals and the broader support systems that they might inhabit to find their own answers and their own journeys, while being able to meet the individual where they are within their journey. This has always been embedded within a sound evidenced based and theoretical framework, so that I can apply existing knowledge to create new ways of learning as part of a co-creative and co-constructive process.

This is why I focused my doctoral research on building bridges between neurotypes ‘Bridging the Gap between the Autistic Individual, the Therapist, and the Theoretical Perspective: An Intersubjective Analysis’. 

To fully comprehend the depth of working in multiple levels, my own neurodivergence requires me to work on an authentic level, where I believe that understanding one’s value set is central to building bridges between divergent ways of being, in all of these potential support systems.

The KIIERA principles have been a huge part of how I have evolved as a therapist but also as how I live my life.
