Dr. Claire Conlon 22nd November

Clinical Psychologist.

She fell in love with psychology whilst working in Great Ormond Street Hospital in the UK over a decade ago. She currently works in the health service in Ireland and for many years has provided support to parents, children and families across a wide range of issues. In 2021, she set up The Caterpillar Clinic with the goal of making psychological support and knowledge more accessible to all, not just those in services.

Sarah Sproule - Sex educator

When Sarah was 11 she was afraid she was only growing one breast and didn’t know who to turn to for help.

Now as mother of three teens, with two decades experience as a therapist and a masters in sexuality studies, Sarah uses her skills as an occupational therapist and sex educator to ensure every parent and caring adult knows how to nurture deeper connection with their growing kid(s).

Because no child should ever feel alone and unable to reach out for help with their body, their boundaries or their knowledge about sexuality.

… and yes Sarah eventually grew two breasts roughly the same size.

Olwyn Beresford - Cyber Safety Ireland

Olwyn worked in the software industry for many years as a trainer, consultant and product manager, combining her technical (B.Sc. Computers) and business skills (MBA). As a mother of four she gained first hand experience of the challenges that parents face today in keeping their children safe online. Olwyn volunteered for Extern Problem Gambling, where she took a particular interest in reducing gaming and gambling related harms for young people, and was a regular guest blogger for CyberSafeKids before joining the trainer team at the start of 2020. She greatly enjoys her role today as a content creator and trainer for CyberSafeKids, which enables her to assist children, parents, teachers and organisations, to develop vital digital media literacy skills.
