Each week, photographer Ruth Medjber asks one person to share a tale from their own life. This week, she meets Cara Byrne who set up Hike Psych, which offers psychotherapy combined with walking or hiking in Dublin

Cara Byrne’s story is one of pure resilience. We hit the trail in Tiknock, Co Dublin, on quite a lovely April afternoon and Cara is looking very glam – not at all what I’d expect from a professional hiker/psychotherapist. “I’m still a make-up artist in my soul,” she says, referring to her previous career.
Life has not been without its challenges. She lost her business and her life savings in the recession, but she didn’t let it stop her. She pivoted hard – and in a really fantastic way.
