Do you feel 'stuck' or overwhelmed by life's transitions? I work best with individuals who feel disconnected from themselves or weighed down by anxiety and persistent stress. Perhaps your usual coping mechanisms no longer feel like enough, and you’re looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to process the weight of burnout or complex relationship patterns. My ideal clients are ready to look beneath the surface and want a therapist who is both a compassionate listener and an active collaborator. Together, we will move from simply 'getting by' to living a life that feels authentic, empowered, and deeply aligned with who you truly are

My work is guided by the understanding that many emotional patterns and life challenges develop quietly over time, often outside of our immediate awareness. As Carl Jung wrote, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” In therapy, we gently explore these underlying patterns together, helping you gain insight into how past experiences, emotions, and beliefs may be shaping your present life.

I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for people who may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or at a crossroads in their lives. Often, those who come to therapy are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, greater emotional awareness, or support in navigating difficult or uncertain circumstances. My approach is integrative and relational, supporting exploration of thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may no longer feel helpful. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and reconnect with a more authentic sense of self. I look forward to working with you.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it's important to understand a therapist's treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It's also important to consider a therapist's training when seeking care. Therapists in Ireland hold various credentials depending on their training. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are often registered with the Irish Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (IACP) and/or the Irish Council for Psychotherapy (ICP) and their qualifications and practice are overseen by these professional organisations. Many Psychologists are registered with the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI), signifying that they are currently working toward or have completed postgraduate training and supervised practice, and can use the titles of Chartered Psychologist (C.Psychol. PsSI) or Graduate Member (M.Ps.S.I). All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
