I have over 30 years experience with children, young people, families and couples, working with Trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties, family conflict and anxiety.
Life can throw many challenges and sometimes we can get a bit stuck and not sure what to do to change the situation. I understand that it can be difficult to ask for help but seeking some help is the first step to improving your situation.. Sometimes it is easier talking to someone out side your family circle or friendship group about an issue that is causing you or your family distress and instead to talk to a professional therapist I offer a free 15 minute consultation if you are unsure if talking therapy can help. Therapy can help build self esteem, reduce anxiety , improve relationships with family and peers .

For 11 years+ I have worked with adults and young people, now specialising in developmental trauma, attachment and child development.
I am a Specialist Clinical Psychologist offering psychological support for young people, adults and families. I understand it can be hard to make the first step to seek help and there are many reasons someone might wish to reach out; including anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, behavioural difficulties, low self esteem, distress following traumatic events, or personal exploration. I offer an opportunity to safely explore the challenges you may be experiencing from an integrative psychological perspective with the aim of developing a treatment plan based on psychological theory and evidence based practice.

From talking therapy including CBT, to therapeutic art and play for children, each client is an individual and therefore their counselling should be individually tailored for them.
Adults, children and adolescents all need a space to explore and express their experiences, and for some this tends to be more difficult as they struggle to understand what they're feeling, never mind find the words to describe them to someone. People often find that when they voice their experiences, feelings, and worries, and confide in a professional who can offer support and help them make sense of these, they feel heard, understood, and often a little lighter from sharing the weight of these. I aim to help my clients to feel that little bit lighter.

Hi I'm Carole, thanks for checking out my profile. I have always been interested in people, how we all experience our world, and how life events affect us. I understand that we can have difficulties with thoughts, feelings, circumstances and relationships leading to confusion, low self esteem, lack of confidence, stress and difficulty coping with life. The effects of the Covid 19 pandemic have resulted in more stressful situations, with less effective coping skills, due to isolation, bereavement, fear and lack of opportunity to look after our mental health as we previously did. I understand your experience is unique to you.

Hi, my name is Aisling. I am a registered Art Psychotherapist. In Art Psychotherapy we use a range of creative materials to communicate feelings, emotions and experiences. It’s not necessary to be “good” at art as we don’t focus on the final product. It’s much more important that you are open to the creative process; sometimes how we feel isn’t pretty, so the art we create isn’t pretty either. My aim is to provide a safe and confidential space for you to open up and explore your inner world; my role is to hold space for what may come up for you. I aim to meet my clients where they are, with understanding and connection.

I understand that it can be daunting coming to counselling for the first time for you or that of your child/teenager and it is important to find the right fit for you.
Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, negative thinking patterns/ behaviours or intrusive thoughts? Struggling to bond with your baby or having relationship difficulties with your child/teenager or partner, leaving you overwhelmed with guilt? Thinking you’re not doing a good enough job? Parenting can be overwhelming, placing a high expectation on getting it right. You are not on your own, many parents feel this way but find it too difficult to talk about in fear of being judged. Adults, children and adolescents all need a space to explore and express their experiences, to understand what they are feeling and to be heard.
