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 work integratively, drawing on person-centred, relational, somatic, and parts-based approaches.
I’m an integrative, trauma-informed psychotherapist in Carrigaline, supporting adults and teenagers (13+). People often reach out when they’re not feeling like themselves, when stress, pressure, or old experiences start showing up in ways they didn’t expect. Therapy gives you space to slow down, make sense of what’s been going on beneath the surface, and figure out what you need to feel more steady day to day.

Sometimes in life we experience overwhelming times where we feel unseen, unheard or misunderstood. In this place we can feel depression, anxiety, grief, loss, isolation and have a sense that we are disconnected from our true selves. Coming to therapy can feel dauting and so I offer a safe confidential space where one can explore their presenting issues through the lens of their internal and external worlds, identifing their needs and goals. We gently challenge established thoughts and behaviours as we move through a journey of self discovery, awareness, and acceptance in a warm, empathic, supportive & non-judgemental environment.

Trained in English in Person-Centred and Somatic Trauma Psychotherapy, I practice in 4 languages.
You might have been functioning at a high level, professionally or relationally, holding it all together for yourself and often for others too. You can probably name many inner resources that have helped you get where you are, and you might be known for being empathetic, organised, active or wise. You may even be the first in your family to have come this far through expatriation, higher education, building a family of your own or a successful career. It often comes at a cost, and this may be why you're here. If some areas of life feel heavy right now, it's okay to ask for support. This could be your space to feel, heal and grow.

How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
