Irish Life Counselling in Cork
Sometimes we need a non-bias“outside” perspective to hear our own voices. As an integrative therapist I utilize approaches including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person centered, Solution focused, mindfulness etc. depending on the needs and requests of each individual. Pulling apart what may often feel like a tangled ball of wool in ones head in order to recognise, prioritize and cope with the sometimes over whelming thoughts, feeling and behaviors that present. Providing a secure, non-judgmental, confidential environment in which you can safely express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns at a rate that is comfortable to you

I’m a Chartered Clinical Psychologist. I work with adults who want to better understand themselves and make sense of experiences that may be affecting their wellbeing, relationships, or sense of identity. My particular interests include trauma, shame, self-acceptance, and neurodivergence.
I aim to offer a warm, thoughtful space where we can be curious about what has shaped you without rushing to judge or change it. Therapy can involve understanding patterns that once helped you cope but may now feel limiting, and finding ways to respond to yourself with greater clarity and compassion.

I am acutely aware that it takes courage to reach out and look for professional help. It is important to me that I respect my clients autonomy, and work within a safe and welcoming space which is non judgemental and allows the client to fully engage in therapy.

Many of the people I work with are experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, or challenges with self-esteem and confidence. I have particular experience supporting young adults, university students, and adults navigating periods of change, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm.
Clients often come to therapy feeling stuck, exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or struggling to cope with the demands of daily life. Together, we create a safe and supportive space to explore these difficulties, develop greater understanding, and work towards meaningful change.

I believe in supporting you to lead a more balanced life no matter what experiences you have had or what issues you are currently dealing with.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationship issues, stress or processing trauma past or present, I will support you in your journey to finding your feet again. I have a deep appreciation for the wisdom of the body and tools that support working with instead of against ourselves.

Welcome to my site. Firstly, let me assure me that I know how much courage it took to conduct the search that brought you here … and indeed how much more it can take to make the call. As a first step it is helpful if you acknowledge that to yourself. In the years that I have been a therapist I have yet to meet a client, who committed to therapy, that didn’t get some relief, some hope that their future could be different from their past which washed them up onto the lonely beach they found themselves on. I promise you that I know your pain, your loneliness, and your anxiety. You have made it this far .. make the call ..

I’m an EMDR-trained psychotherapist working with trauma, addiction, and the patterns that quietly organise a life. Before psychotherapy, I worked in the international art world — a way of seeing I still carry: attention to what is held in the body, what repeats, what resists language. I don’t see people as problems to fix, but as nervous systems shaped by experience. Therapy becomes a steady, boundaried space where what has been carried alone can be met, felt, and slowly reworked — until something more liveable, and more your own, begins to take shape.

Research shows that the most important aspect of therapy is the working alliance between client and therapist, and my approach is informed by this. I believe that the most crucial thing I can provide is an honest, human-to-human connection; and before anything else this requires trust. I strive to be warm, present and above all human for my clients.

Nosce Te Ipsum. Therapy begins with a dialogue about what indeed brought the client into the therapeutic setting. Clients’ thoughts, feelings and experiences provide much of the fodder for a therapeutic dialogue. Much of the work in therapy involves making sense of these thoughts and emotions. The therapist educes the client’s stories; clients narrate and share them. This integrative framework provide the lens in which I listen and connect to the narratives and presenting issues of my clients. As the tempo takes its momentum, a gradual progression of humanistic kinship, trust and understanding between my client and I are entrenched.
