Padraig has worked in a parenting assessment capacity as a Family Support Worker with a strong focus on infant mental health and promoting practical parenting skills. Padraig has volunteered in a variety of settings such as Support After Crime, supporting people affected by crime, whether you are a victim of crime or a witness to crime. He also volunteered in the Big Brother programme with Foroige enhancing his skill base using a trauma informed lens.

​

Padraig continued his academic journey in Occupational Therapy with a BSc Occupational Therapy from University College of Cork, all while working full time as a Social Care Worker and becoming a father. Through applying his acquired skill-set as an Occupational Therapist within Social Care, Padraig could see a real need for a more strengths and value-based approach in this field and sought to pursue this with a Masters in Positive & Coaching Psychology in University College of Cork.

​

Padraig now runs his own private practice, The OT Coach, where he offers therapeutic interventions and assessments for young people and adults whom may have experienced adversity in their lives. Padraig brings his diverse experience and specialises in trauma, sensory-attachment, positive psychology and coaching.
