Our Team
Meet the Staff
Michelle Bradley
Chief Executive
Michelle is the founder and CEO of The Parent Rooms. She began The Parent Rooms back in 2014 when she was struggling with postnatal depression and anxiety. She was looking for connection and hope; values that remain central to our ethos. Michelle is a mum to three children and when not working at The Parent Rooms, is passionate about DIY and reading.
Chloe McVey
operations manager
Chloe has over 20 years experience working in the charity and voluntary sector in Northern Ireland, focusing on supporting and empowering people through connection and shared experiences. In recent years, she has focused on parental mental health and the importance of recognising and addressing the effects of isolation, particularly for those who have been significantly affected by the current socio-economic climate. Having gone through her own perinatal journey with her 2 boys (now 8 and 10), Chloe is passionate about supporting others through their own parenting experiences. She is an avid reader and writer, and has also recently developed an obsession with jumping into the sea, come rain or shine!
