Lunch and Learn

(virtual)

"Lunch & Learn: What's Next? Life after your psychology degree.Our next speaker, Michelle Cregg, is an HCPC-registered Consultant Forensic Psychologist and an accredited Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) Practitioner specialising in the assessment, formulation and treatment of individuals with complex psychosis, complex emotional needs and personality disorder. She currently works within a specialist Complex Psychosis Team in the NHS in England, where her practice integrates relational, developmental, and systems-level approaches to support individuals with high levels of clinical risk, psychosocial needs, and long-term functional impairment.Michelle’s clinical and research interests centre on relational continuity and its role in promoting meaningful and sustained recovery for individuals with entrenched difficulties, including personality disorder and trauma-related presentations. She has a particular academic focus on how therapeutic relationships foster engagement, stabilise risk, and enhance long-term outcomes for people with complex and co-occurring needs. Her ongoing professional work also reflects a strong commitment to reducing health inequalities in psychological services, with specific emphasis on age and gender disparities in access, experience and treatment outcomes.Alongside her clinical roles, Michelle is an experienced Expert Witness who provides specialist assessments for Parole Boards, Immigration Tribunals and statutory agencies. She is highly skilled in risk assessment, including structured professional judgement methods for violence and self-harm, and is frequently consulted by multi-agency panels on managing risk in culturally diverse and high-stakes contexts. Her experience spans forensic, prison, community and local authority settings, giving her a broad applied understanding of how clinical, legal and social systems intersect in the management of complex risk.Originally from Roscommon, Michelle completed her BA in Psychology at NUI Maynooth, followed by an MSc in Forensic Psychology at London Metropolitan University. She subsequently completed the British Psychological Society Qualification in Forensic Psychology, achieving Chartership in 2012, and later undertook specialist training as a Cognitive Analytic Therapy Practitioner.Michelle brings a distinctive combination of clinical expertise, academic curiosity and policy-relevant insight, making her well positioned to contribute to health and social-care and justice sectors. Her background equips her to support in the areas of:• advanced risk assessment and management;• service development for people with complex psychosis and personality disorder;• expert evidence to inform high-stakes decision-making;• development and evaluation of trauma-informed and relationally informed practice;• teaching, supervision and research collaboration.Her work is shaped by a commitment to high-quality, recovery-oriented care and a strong belief in the value of evidence-based, relationally driven psychological practice.We can’t wait to learn, connect, and grow together. Let’s make this an amazing start to something special!Our speakers will share their educational journeys, the decisions that shaped their careers, and what their day-to-day work actually looks like now. Whether you’re curious, confused, excited, or all of the above, this series is here to give you real insight, real guidance, and a whole lot of inspiration.Each session, we’ll be joined by both past UL psychology students and other fantastic guests who all started exactly where you are now: with a passion for psychology. They’ve since gone on to take very different, and equally inspiring, career paths.This series is all about exploring life after your psychology degree, featuring real stories, unexpected turns, challenges, and the opportunities that open up once you step beyond the classroom.We’re absolutely delighted to kick off our first-ever Virtual Lunch & Learn Series with the University of Limerick Psychological Society! "

The Siege of Limerick

(North Campus Pitches )

"The Siege of Limerick 2026 !!!All are invited to The Siege of Limerick, the best tournament of the year!! Hosted on our very own campus, teams come from all over the world to play in Ireland's largest outdoor frisbee tournament that caters to both the Women's and Open division. To kick off the weekend we will have our annual fundraiser on Friday the 6th in The Locke Bar to raise money for Jigsaw, a charity that provide valuable resources for young people's mental health. Games begin on the Saturday over on North Campus and we'll see a great mix of battles between college teams and clubs from Ireland and oversees. After a long day of playing we bring the party to Dolans for a night of music, meeting fellow tournament attendees, and extravagant costumes to fit the theme - check out the instgram @thesiegeoflimerick to find out what this theme is. Then we'll drag our tired heads and bodies back to North Campus bright and early on Sunday morning to continue the fun and decide who the winners of The Siege of Limerick will be. Of course those of us still standing will gather for chill pints/debrief in Hurlers on Sunday night to reminisce on the great weekend we just had (and maybe start making plans for next year). Participation in this tournament will be organised through our main communication platform- WhatsApp so if you aren't in the group send us an email and we'll sort you out!"
