VHI Counselling in Carrickmines
I offer a supportive, non judgemental space for whatever is holding you back from living life to the full. Expressing what is on your mind can be the first step towards feeling better. Therapy can involve finding ways to manage life's current challenges whilst also exploring patterns rooted in the past that can keep us stuck. You may need support to recover from loss or trauma, help with an issue, behaviour, or relationship that is causing distress. Perhaps you would simply like space for self-exploration and personal growth. Listening carefully to the unique needs of each individual, I tailor sessions accordingly.

We provide Adult and Adolescent ADHD assessments, and a range of other developmental and psychological assessments, as well as ongoing therapeutic support. We understand that reaching out for help—for yourself, your teen, or your family—can feel overwhelming. An initial consultation is a calm and reassuring first step, offering a warm space to share concerns, ask questions, and begin exploring what the most helpful path forward might be. I offer in-person appointments from two clinic locations: Clonskeagh, Dublin 14, and Greystones, Co. Wicklow.

I strongly believe that the client is the expert. The client is the one who lives inside the self and has had the experiences. They know when something resonates with them in a therapy session. They know what they can and cannot cope with. They know the areas and issues that need to be addressed. I believe that there is a natural predisposition towards health in everyone. People just need to gain a confidence in listening to what their body, mind and emotions are telling them. I listen to what the client brings to me and their goals. This may be short-term counselling, or a more processing through psychotherapy.

Our physical and mental well-being are interlinked. At times we may feel our worries and anxieties are dictating the way we live our lives. At times we find ourselves not able to enjoy things that we used to and get no sense of achievement in activities that we do. Do you want to make changes, but you have no idea on how to begin.

I provide receipts for health insurance and am registered as an approved psychotherapist by Laya, VHI, etc
When we are suffering we tend to look at all that is wrong in our lives. We sometimes make judgements and assumptions about ourselves or our situations that focus mainly on the negative. We each have developed ways of being in the world that have enabled us to cope with whatever challenges we have had to face. These coping strategies become our defence mechanisms and are often developed by us at an early age when we had few resources. They can sometimes create negative patterns of relating to others and the world around us and become barriers to intimate or professional relationships.

You may be capable and self-aware, yet still feel overwhelmed, detached or stuck. Relationships may feel intense or confusing. Perhaps you have been told you are too sensitive, too much, or overthinking. You might wonder why you react so strongly, struggle with rejection, or feel successful on paper but internally dysregulated. I work with adults navigating neurodivergence, including ADHD and autistic identity, Rejection Sensitivity, shame, personality patterns, attachment wounds, trauma and identity shifts. Together, we make sense of what is happening in your nervous system and create something more workable.

Through many years supporting clients with a myriad of challenges I have discovered that one of their greatest needs is for hope - an expectation and desire that change is possible. It is an absolute privilege to walk some of that journey to hope with my clients and I would be delighted to explore together how I can support you. I have a breadth of experience in counselling in private practice, with community based counselling services, on Employee Assistance Programmes, at a residential drug rehabilitation centre and in supporting those affected by their involvement in the criminal justice system.
