I am an accredited counsellor specialising in the area of Grief & Loss. I became interested in helping people cope with grief and loss following the death of my daughter Marguerite in 2004. In 2007, I enrolled on a counselling degree course. Helping others and supporting them on their grief journey helps me find meaning in her loss.
I have spoken on Clare FM and Kerry Radio on several occasions regarding different aspects of Grief & Loss, most recently to Deirdre Walsh on her Talkabout show on Kerry Radio. I spoke about families affected by imprisonment and how the lockdown has impacted them as they cannot visit their loved ones in prison. I wanted to highlight this as this group of people have never had their grief validated in the same way as families who have loved ones in nursing homes or homes for people with special needs.
I have spoken on Clare FM and RTE Radio as well as to the late Gerry Ryan on 2FM about postnatal depression. I experienced it during the mid-80s and had to contact a UK support group for help as there was no support group specific to postnatal depression in Ireland at that time.
I also give public talks and workshops in relation to grief and loss as well as other related topics.
