Meet our third speaker for Women for Women 2026 – Georgie Igoe

Georgie Igoe is an Irish Relational Gestalt Psychotherapist, Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, artist and facilitator.

Georgie will be joining the Irish Support Agency’s Women for Women event, where she’ll facilitate a session exploring Shame / Náire through an intergenerational and cultural lens.

Drawing on her work with relationships, embodiment, Irish heritage and intergenerational experiences, Georgie invites participants to explore the ways shame can be carried — within ourselves, our families, our culture and across generations.

Her session offers an opportunity to approach Náire with curiosity and compassion, creating space to reflect on what has been carried, what has been silenced, and what might become possible when we bring these experiences into connection.

Introducing our second speaker for this year's Women for Women event - Tania Rose

Tania Rose Arts Psychotherapist is a neurodivergent psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, educator, researcher and creative practitioner with a particular focus on neurodivergence and cognitive difference, wellbeing and sustainable living and practice. Drawing on both professional expertise and lived experience of being and AuDHDer, her work is grounded in neurodiversity-affirming, person-centred approaches that emphasise individual biological, sensory, cognitive and regulatory needs within their environmental context.

Tania is also a long-standing creative practitioner, music artist, and co-founder of now professional arts and disability organisation Restless Dance Theatre. Across psychotherapy, supervision, education, creative practice and doctoral research, she is particularly interested in translating complex ideas into accessible, practical frameworks that support greater understanding, autonomy and more responsive living and practice.

On October 17th, Tania will be discussing why neurodivergence is often under and misdiagnosed in adult women.
