My therapy sessions are covered by tax relief and all UK health insurance providers, including Aviva, Bupa, AXA etc.
I work with adults and adolescents who are navigating difficult times: anxiety, grief, loss, trauma, life transitions, and the kind of stuck that's hard to put into words. My sessions are online, which means I work with people across Ireland and worldwide, in English and Italian. I'm integrative in my approach, which means I don't follow a rigid method. I work with what the person in front of me actually needs. The foundation is always the relationship: warm, honest, and without judgement.

When anxiety and neurodivergence meet adolescence, families can feel lost. Perhaps your once-confident child is now overwhelmed by school, friendships or everyday expectations. Maybe anxiety has taken hold, routines have become rigid, or you feel like you are constantly walking on eggshells at home. Many of the families I work with are supporting teenagers who are autistic, ADHD, or exploring whether neurodivergence may be part of the picture. Often anxiety sits alongside this, and what can look like avoidance, shutdown, or refusal is actually a young person whose nervous system has become overwhelmed.

Many people come to therapy carrying emotional pain that feels confusing or difficult to make sense of, while others may be struggling with loss, relationship challenges, or the impact of past experiences. Some clients come with a clear issue they would like support with, while others simply know that something does not feel right and want a safe space to explore it.
