Understanding the Mother Identity
For decades, scholars have stressed the importance of counsellors understanding the mother identity in more depth. Yet, little academic attention has been paid to the mother's experience and identity during middle childhood, a significant period of transition for children which inevitably impacts on a mother. To gain insight into the identity and experiences of mothers in middle childhood, fifteen mothers of two or more children aged between 5 an…
You Have the Choice of Whether You’re Going to Get Help or Attempt Suicide”
Background: Youth suicide is a global issue and a type of death that can be prevented through early access to evidence-based mental health interventions, which can contribute to improved quality of life as well as health, educational and employment outcomes. Young people are encouraged to seek help for mental health problems, yet help-seeking rates remain low. Objective: The aim of this research was to explore how young people with a mental healt…

I Felt Like There Was Something Wrong in My Brain”
Through an enhanced understanding about how young people experience mental distress, developmental pressure points, marginalisation and stigma, mental health providers can prioritise individualised approaches to healthcare that can both respect a young person's individual conceptualizations and positively leverage self-management strategies, which can contribute positively to young people's development, quality of life, and healthcare outcomes
Christian privilege and experiences of oppression among people with a non-Christian background in Northern Ireland
The article aimed to provide insight into how people with a non-Christian background experience Christian privilege in Northern Ireland (NI) and to consider implications for the counseling profession. The current qualitative study was located in a transformative paradigm; it intended to advance a social justice agenda in counseling. Data were collected in five mini focus groups and one individual interview from 15 participants with a non-Christia…
Surviving not living
Bird Box is described as a post-apocalyptic horror thriller, released in 2018, which depicts the plight of a mother raising two young children in the grip of collective trauma, and the ripple effects thereof. In this article, I draw upon key theoretical constructs from the field of trauma studies including attachment and psychoanalytic theories, in relation to the protagonist of Bird Box (Malorie) and her children, to illuminate the effects of re…
If you don’t actually care for somebody, how can you help them?”
Youth suicide and mental health are important issues of global concern that require timely and evidence-based interventions to increase quality of life and prevent deaths. Findings report that young people have lower mental health help-seeking rates, and there is a lack of qualitative research examining why. The aim of this research study was to further understanding on young people's core needs in mental healthcare based on actual experiences (P…
Derry Girls and containment
In this article, I consider role of the television show Derry Girls in providing containment for the unbearable aspects of conflict-related and transgenerational trauma in the context of Northern Ireland. Derry Girls is a situation comedy set during the political conflict of Northern Ireland in the 1990s. The show provides nostalgic, satirical and affectionate observations on the seemingly mundane and at times farcical misdemeanours of a group of…
Self-injury, stigma, and identity
Self-injury research has been located primarily in the disciplines of psychiatry and psychology however it is gaining increasing recognition as an interdisciplinary field, ripe with potential for sociological and psychosocial analysis. In this article, I revisit Goffman’s theory to explore retrospectively the dynamic nature of stigma and identity for people affected by self-injury in the socio- political context of Northern Ireland. Drawing on 30…
What Type of Helping Relationship Do Young People Need? Engaging and Maintaining Young People in Mental Health Care—A Narrative Review
Research reports that young people aged 10 to 24 years are reluctant to seek help for a mental health problem due to multiple factors and that intervention within this demographic is critical. The aim of this review was to critique the existing literature, using a systematic approach on how the type of helping relationship affects young people’s help-seeking behavior, engagement, and maintenance in mental health care. Searches of nine databases p…
Young Men, Help-Seeking, and Mental Health Services
International research has identified young men as reluctant to seek help for mental health problems. This research explored barriers and solutions to professional help seeking for mental health problems among young men living in the North West of Ireland. A qualitative approach, using two focus groups with six participants each and five face-to-face interviews, was conducted with men aged 18 to 24 years (total N = 17). Data were analyzed using t…
‘We’re not monsters … we’re just really sad sometimes
The aim of this article is to provide an insider perspective on experiences of stigmatisation for people who engage in hidden self-injury. The vast majority of self-injury is recognised to be hidden, whereby most people who self-injure do not present to formal health services. By drawing on the data from 20 face-to- face interviews, conducted in community settings, with counselling clients with a history of self-injury and counsellors experienced…
The Healing Journey
Help seeking is known to be a complex and difficult journey for people who self-injure. In this article, we explore the process of help seeking from the perspective of a group of people living in Northern Ireland with a history of self-injury. We conducted 10 semistructured interviews and employed a grounded theory approach to data analysis. We created two major categories from the interview transcript data: (a) "involution of feeling," which dep…
