Welcome to my Autism Parent Consultancy and Support Service, where your journey as an autism parent takes centre stage. With over 24 years of extensive professional experience, including 10 years as a lecturer at University College Cork, I bring a deep and comprehensive understanding of autism from both personal and professional perspectives. As a parent of an autistic child and an autistic individual myself, I have a first hand grasp of the challenges and complexities involved in raising and supporting autistic individuals.

My consultancy offers expertise across a wide range of areas, with specialised skills in emotional literacy and regulation, anxiety management, behavioural support, and enhancing social navigation skills. I am dedicated to empowering parents with knowledge, effective strategies, and tailored support, helping them navigate the unique and often complex landscape of autism parenting.

I offer two session types: individualized one-to-one sessions for autistic individuals and parent-focused sessions. This approach allows parents to select a personalised path for their child’s skill development while also gaining practical instruction and support in advancing skills in both home and community settings.

With over 24 years of professional experience, I have encountered and addressed a vast array of challenges. Whether your concern lies in the home, school, or community, I am here to help. Having consulted with over 50 schools in the Munster area, I can facilitate broad-based interventions, including best practice educational strategies for children in both mainstream and specialised school environments.
