Career Guidance Counselling in Cork
As a psychologist specializing in sport, performance and business in Ireland, I work with leaders who have built the career, won the game, and grown the business.
For many of us who strive, there’s a private struggle behind the public success. It's the relentless need to 'get it right,' the feeling of being an outsider even on your own team, and the quiet fear that you're losing the very passion that got you started. My clients are athletes and high-achievers who recognize this feeling. They are looking for a way back to a performance that feels powerful, free, and most importantly, feels like them.

I work with women that feel stuck, particularly in relationships or professional situations that have them feeling overwhelmed, overlooked, unappreciated or undervalued. I help them release any latent beliefs or stories that are holding them back and reconnect to their most powerful and successful selves with a renewed sense of identity, a vision for how they'd like their life to be and the ability to reach their potential to get there.

In terms of counselling and psychotherapy work, I am experienced in holding space for clients experiencing a combination of the following life struggles; relationship difficulties, self-esteem, confidence, anxiety, bereavement, loss (hope, faith, self, purpose, direction), attachment wounding, abandonment, life change/stage, transition (life and career), confusion, dissatisfaction, aloneness, loneliness, isolation.
Grief and loss are often central themes at the core of presenting issues, the grief of losing parts of ourselves in order to make others happy, fit in and belong, the loss and disappointment we feel when life doesn’t work out as we want it, the relationship that was supposed to last but resulted in a breakup, unmet needs, heartbrokenness and a lost future.

Career Guidance Counsellors
How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.
Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
