'It is a privilege to work here in Cork as a counsellor, psychotherapist and mindfulness teacher with Cork ARC Cancer Support House; LINC, advocating for lesbian and bisexual women in Ireland; the CRANN Centre; and Mahon Family Resource Centre. It was an honour to volunteer with the IACP SRC and be a part of the valuable and rewarding work carried out by them. It has proved to be the source of many wonderful friendships over the years.
