About Susan

I’m a chartered organisational psychologist and executive coach. I completed my studies almost 20 years ago at a time when the economy was collapsing and “jobs!” was the first thing on people’s minds. It was a tough time but it set me on a very specific path; I became a dedicated student of the world of employment – I learned how to understand my own qualities, how to match them with market needs and how to present myself.

These early experiences took me in two distinct directions professionally.

On one hand, I love to work with people to help them shine a light on their own unique and brilliant qualities, so that they can make choices that work for them and present themselves as they would like on paper and at interview.

On the other, I work with employers to help identify the people that are the right fit for their company; those that will give the best of themselves and have the qualities needed to succeed. A key way we do this is through psychometric testing – to my mind, the most under-utilised tool of the 21st century. At Careercraft we are experts in using these tools to help hiring managers deepen their understanding of a candidate’s personality, emotional intelligence, risk styles, abilities and other attributes.

About Tanya

I’m a Chartered Work and Organisational Psychologist who cares deeply about helping people grow, succeed and feel more confident in their working lives. I’ve always loved hearing people’s stories—really listening, noticing what’s said and what’s not said—and it’s this curiosity and appreciation for human complexity that guides my work every day.

As an accredited coach, certified trainer and experienced facilitator, I design coaching and development experiences that are shaped around the specific challenges, strengths and goals of each individual or team. Whether I’m supporting a leader to navigate change, helping a team work more effectively together, or building emotional intelligence skills, my focus is on creating the kind of space where people feel understood, respected and able to stretch themselves.

I work across technology, pharmaceutical and financial services sectors and draw on a range of psychometric tools to deepen insight and unlock potential. Alongside my consultancy work, I lecture on the MBA Programme at the National College of Ireland and contribute to the Diploma in Executive Coaching and the Diploma in Sustainable Change and Transformation at the Irish Management Institute—two roles that allow me to bring psychological science to life through practical, meaningful learning.
