Patient. Reliable. Approachable. I’m an experienced Irish psychologist, with a practice primarily focused on relationship difficulties. These create psychological challenges that can preoccupy us in daily life. Our self-understanding is built up through our relationships, through what gets reflected back to us from those closest to us. As a result, difficulties like infidelity, jealousy, envy, loneliness, repeating conflicts - these can cut to the core of who we are. Working together, I can support you to rebuild trust in yourself, and make greater sense of the difficult relational reality you find yourself in.
I am not interested in 'analysing' you or filling our time with 'therapy speak' - I prefer to relate to you person to person, in direct terms. We'll start by understanding your problems from your point of view, how you experience them. I have specialist knowledge of the psychology of love, connection, and relationships, which we can make use of in our work.
The first contact with someone like me is the hardest to make, but be assured that I'll meet you with respect and discretion from the first moment. I am particularly experienced in online therapy. My practice is now split between the UK (online), where I lived for over a decade, and Denmark (where I now live). I welcome you to be in touch.

Mine is a relational practice. I bring a steady warmth and calmness to therapy. This means compassionate, gentle professionalism that's neither clinical nor cold. Relationship problems typically need a reliable, sensitive presence at a time when you might be doubting yourself or others. I'll be alongside you as we work through it, together. My practice is trauma informed, and culturally sensitive.

I'm a pluralistic therapist, which means I'm trained to make use of a broad variety of therapeutic techniques and exercises. Many people that come to therapy have often tried other things first (e.g., relaxation, specific forms of therapy). I listen to what has helped, what definitely hasn't worked, and we go from there together, approaching your problem(s) with appropriate pace and sensitivity.
