I grew up in Dundrum in Dublin with my parents and older brother and sister. My grandparents, my mother’s parents, lived very close nearby. It was sort of cosy enough. My parents are family therapists. My mother was an occupational therapist with the health board, and then she became a family therapist. My father was a psychologist, he became a therapist then.
