I’m Emma- the founder of Croí Óg Occupational Therapy.

Croí Óg was developed to support young people to develop tools to cope with the adversities of daily life and to thrive in the activities that are meaningful to them.

I am an Occupational Therapist, with a real passion for child and adolescent mental health. I have worked across both HSE and private settings, supporting young people from 0-18, at different stages of their life.

I have a wide range of experience working with young people struggling with anxiety, low mood, social isolation, disordered eating, and trauma. I have developed a particular interest in supporting mental health in neurodiverse populations, and I have completed additional training in this area.

Each young person I meet has different styles and preferences for engaging in therapy, so I have completed formal training in Teen Yoga, Creative Mindfulness and Sensorimotor Art Therapy to ensure that a diverse range of interventions can be offered, alongside traditional Occupational Therapy.

A strengths-based approach is taken with every young person that comes through the door, and I am to support them in recognising their true potential through evidence-based interventions.
