Feeling stuck? Low? I work with individuals around ADHD, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, self-development, social anxiety, and more. In my structured yet warm approach, I equip you with the tools to recognise and challenge your issues, instead of just putting a plaster on the symptoms. While working to uncover, challenge and dissolve unhelpful cognitions, we will also identify suboptimal aspects of your present life that are changeable, and work together to strategise forward.

It starts with a hello...but I know that starting the conversation can be difficult at times. Life brings its share of challenges but no one needs to suffer in isolation. I am here to walk this journey with you, so you can become a better version of yourself. I am a firm believer that not everyone experiences even the same issue the same way. Therefore, being flexible in dealing with the differing needs of clients, is a necessary skill I have honed over the years.

We aren't meant to fit into boxes. I believe that you are the expert of yourself and that my role is to help you explore whatever you bring in a nonjudgmental way with awareness, curiosity, and support. What brings you here today? Sometimes we seek therapy because we need someone to listen without judgment. Other times, we may feel that we have lost ourselves, or are trying to figure out who we want to be going forward. While there is no magic wand to get there in an instant, my practice style is to come alongside you and hold a safe space for you on your therapeutic journey.

Life has a way of taking us down some pretty rough roads at times, and it can make us feel alone, anxious, angry, confused, all sorts of emotions, that when left can build and bring us down even further. Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed and it can interfere with our enjoyment of life and keep us stuck. Breath, you are not alone. Sometimes you just need someone to hear you. I’m here to listen and assist you with the issues you are experiencing. I have a passion for helping people learn to cope with and overcome the issues that are hindering their lives. It can be daunting to reach out, but that is where I can help.

Patient. Dependable. Approachable. I’m an Irish psychologist and my practice primarily focuses on helping people work through relationship problems. These might be either in your intimate relationship, or among connections with family, close friends, or colleagues. We all carry undeniable relational needs - the safety to be found in a sense of belonging, of getting along, of ties that bind, of a sense of home, plans for the future. Our sense of self is reflected back to us through our close relationships. Trouble within them can weigh on our self-esteem, our valuing of ourselves, eating away at our peace of mind.
