ADHD, Autism & Neurodiversity Talks Across Ireland and Internationally
Whether you’re organising a conference, professional development event, workplace seminar or CPD training day, I deliver engaging, evidence-informed presentations that combine clinical expertise with lived experience.
My talks are designed to move beyond awareness, giving audiences practical strategies they can apply immediately in their work.
As an ADHD and autism psychotherapist specialising in neurodivergence, I regularly speak to healthcare professionals, educators, counsellors, psychologists, social care teams, charities and organisations seeking a deeper understanding of neurodivergent people.
Why Organisations Invite Me to Speak
My presentations are recognised for being:
Practical
Attendees leave with tools, strategies and approaches they can immediately apply in therapy, education or the workplace.
Evidence-Based
Every presentation is grounded in current research while remaining accessible and relevant to everyday practice.
Lived Experience
Alongside my clinical work, I bring the perspective of being an ADHD adult myself, helping bridge the gap between theory and real-world experience.
Engaging
Audiences consistently comment on the balance of research, practical examples, humour and real-life stories that make complex topics easy to understand.
