About

I am currently the CEO of icap and have been in post since October 2023. Many of you will know icap as the UK based provider of Counselling and Psychotherapy services to Irish people based in Britain. We specialise in the provision of Psychotherapy to the many Survivors and their families of the Institutional Abuse that occurred in Ireland across the decades. We are based at Moray Road in Finsbury park, London.

Prior to this I was the Director of Development and the Deputy CEO at Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England.

I first became involved with the Mental Health First Aid programme in 2007 when it was introduced by the National Institute for Mental Health in England (NIMHE) and was appointed as a National Trainer. I am also a registered Mental Health Nurse and was employed in the NHS in a variety of roles from Staff Nurse to Director of Improvement until March 2013. I am an associate member of the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH)

I spent most of my working life living and working in Kent and more recently moved to the beautiful Chilterns to be closer to family friends. This move also coincided with my reconnection with my Irish roots and I began to take an interest in Irish organisations in Britain.
