Hello, I’m Deirdre
I’m an Advanced Nurse Practitioner Nurse Perscriber and a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist with over 15 years in CAMHS. I work creatively with children and young people aged 6–18 and their families. I support young people through anxiety, low mood, big feelings, mental health crisis, school worries, family changes, trauma and neurodiversity, including ADHD. Above all, I want every family to feel heard and supported.

Online Parent Support
-
A small, warm 4-week online group for parents of teenagers after an ADHD diagnosis. A space to understand what’s going on for your teen, and to feel less alone and to navigate the challanges of supporting your teen with how to navigate ADHD their way.
-
Growing and navigating the world currently is HARD and WILD!
We will discuss how ADHD shows up in teens (especially girls), big feelings and masking, friendships, school and home, and staying connected.
-
4 weekly online sessions of 1.5 hours, a small group of 7–10 parents.
Not like any other Program I do a one-to-one follow-up call three weeks after the group ends.
-
€250 per family. Next group starting in November.
Diagnosied Medicated Still Struggling?
-
Medication can help, but it isn’t the whole answer. I see ADHD and medication as a balancing act. If home still feels hard, or your young person is finding the teenage years challenging socially and emotionally, you’re not doing anything wrong. You don’t have to figure out the next part alone.
-
Medication as a balancing act: what it can help with, and what it can’t. The after-school come down and the overload of day to day.
Big feelings, motivation and self-esteem. What helps alongside medication, at home and in school. How to have better conversations with your young person, with their prescriber and/ or school.
-
4 weekly online sessions of 1.5 hours, a small group of 7–10 parents, and a one-to-one follow-up call three weeks after the group ends.
-
€250 per family. Next group starting January 2027.
