Who am I?
Hi! I'm Sara Galvin a registered mental health social worker and late diagnosed autistic individual nice to meet you. I have worked with autistic adults for over 10 years and have seen the gap for a more personalised service offered with many individuals often falling through gaps in services. I aim to bridge that gap. I am also a mother to two neurodivergent young adults and have been through the battle of diagnosis, EHCP and mental health support so fully appreciate the difficulties and stress involved and can empathise on both a personal and professional level. My 'special interest' is mental health ie why I work in the field that I do however I also adore cats (I own 4 indoor ones). I also love listening to Rammstein and Backstreetboys!!
I look forward to meeting with you and supporting you in your own personal growth.
I offer a free 30 minute consultation to ascertain if I am a good fit for you and plan what you would like to work on going forward.
