ABOUT
Hi, I’m Dr. Saoirse Mac Cárthaigh, Chartered Educational and Child Psychologist with the Psychological Society of Ireland (M12071C). I specialise in educational psychology assessments for children aged 5-16.
My training has given me the skills to help my clients to thrive. I received the Best All-Round Student Award in a Psychology and Learning Disability masters degree. In 2021, I was awarded the Professional Doctorate in Educational and Child Psychology from the University of Limerick, Ireland.
For 10+ years, I have supported young people in schools, universities and psychological services. My goal is to support lifelong change for my clients.
My research skills allow me to apply only the most evidence-based therapies to support the wellbeing of my clients. I received the Karl Nunkoosing Prize for Outstanding Research and have published widely in peer-reviewed journals. For a list of publications, click here.
Autism advocacy is a cause which is close to my heart. I have been involved in advocacy work for AsIAm, Ireland's national autism charity. Learn more here.
