Experienced social worker with over seven years of practice across Ireland and Australia, working across supportive case work, complex assessment roles, and leadership positions. My background includes child protection, family preservation, fostering, domestic abuse services, addiction recovery, and disability support. I have supervised multidisciplinary teams, supported practitioners through reflective guidance, and overseen high risk casework in fast paced environments. My approach to supervision is grounded in clear communication, structured thinking, and a strong commitment to ethical, person centred, and trauma informed practice. I bring a balanced focus on professional accountability, practitioner wellbeing, and high quality decision making across diverse statutory and community settings.
Master’s in social work from the University of Galway and BA honours is applied social care from GMIT.
I have completed advanced training in responding to domestic abuse disclosures and in working with men who use violence through Cara House in Australia, as well as training in therapeutic play skills (CTC), Practice Teacher training (ACU, Australia), Leadership Foundations (UNSW, Australia), and responding to disclosures of sexual assault (Active Consent). I bring strong analytical and organisational skills to supervision, including producing clear, structured case notes and supporting practitioners to refine their own documentation and decision making. I communicate sensitively and respectfully with professionals at all levels, helping them navigate competing priorities and complex case dynamics. My experience across frontline and leadership roles allows me to offer supervision that is reflective, supportive, and grounded in ethical, trauma informed, and strengths based practice.
