She has over ten years of clinical experience working with clients across the lifespan in various settings. Dr. Culligan’s clinical experience includes work with individuals, couples and groups.

These have included violent and sexual risk assessments, cognitive and adaptive functioning assessments, domestic violence assessments, fitness to plead assessments, medico-legal assessments, and ASD and ADHD assessments.

Dr. Culligan has also worked therapeutically with clients in her private practice.

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
