Therapy provides a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors; whether you are in crisis, needing support, or you want to make changes in your life. Here you will be met with acceptance, empathy and compassion as you begin your unique journey. I view each client as an individual and believe if given the appropriate conditions, the client will develop an awareness and insight into themselves to help overcome their challenges. I work relationally and collaboratively with the client. Research identifies the best outcome for the client centres on the therapeutic relationship.

If you are searching for a counsellor, then you are likely going through some event in your life that is causing distress and possibly impacting your day-to-day quality of living. We go through so much in life that we don’t feel adequately prepared for, because how could we? Coming to counselling provides a confidential, impartial space to explore what your own uniquely individual experience is. How we experience life events and the strategies with adopt to cope, is influenced and shaped by so many things that at times it can feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate, and this is where coming to counselling is so beneficial.

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.

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.

Cork, County T45
Sometimes we get overwhelmed by life and what life throws at us. Trying to make sense of what is happening can often feel like we are going around in circles. We may feel we are not coping and have little options available to us. I have worked with survivors of intimate partner abuse for many years. During my time working with survivors, I have encountered depression, anxiety, addiction and low self esteem. Relationships are our key to a healthier life, if your relationships with friends and family or work are causing you anxiety, expressing what is going on for you is the first step to freeing yourself from patterns you experience.

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.

Quote Pema Chodron- 'Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know'. It takes a brave person to reach out to another, whether it is for help with an issue you are already aware of, or as a means of understanding yourself a bit better. We can all become 'stuck'. I believe the potential to grow and heal comes from within. Alot of our life's struggles are relational, how we are in relation to our view of ourselves and how we experience the quality of our connection to others.
