If you’ve found your way here, perhaps it’s because something within you is ready for change — or simply to be heard. Whatever brings you, I want you to know that your feelings are valid, and you’re exactly where you need to be. My intention is to offer you a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can gently explore what’s going on for you — at your own pace, in your own words. You don’t need to have everything figured out. If something feels heavy, uncertain, or out of balance, that’s more than enough reason to reach out.

As a therapist, I will offer a safe place where you can explore your issues and begin to understand your reactions to situations. With this understanding can come power, control and ultimately change. This will be a journey we take together with acceptance, curiosity and understanding.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, self-doubt, or old patterns keep showing up, even when everything seems “fine” on the outside. You may notice tension in your body, feel restless, or repeat familiar patterns in relationships. I’ve been there myself, struggling with anxiety and self-doubt. Many people want a gentler, steadier experience of themselves — a chance to slow down, feel calmer in their body, and reconnect with their own strength and resilience.

During journey of our life we come across many challenges, some posed by external environment, some by our internal environment. We manage most of them by our coping mechanisms and problem solving skills. I believe everyone of us has the capacity to deal with our external / internal environment using our strengths / values / attitudes / communication to name a few. According to Carl Rogers we are on a continued path of becoming a person. In order to achieve this, self awareness becomes one of the most important factor. I consider myself privileged to to have accompanied my clients on their journey of their becoming..

My work is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy, with an emphasis on helping partners slow things down, understand what’s happening underneath the conflict, and rebuild a sense of emotional safety with each other.
In couples therapy, I help partners understand what is happening beneath the surface of conflict - often patterns of hurt, disconnection, or unmet needs. The goal is to help couples feel more secure, understood, and emotionally connected.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and questions around identity, including LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent experiences. Many feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and are seeking clarity, balance, and a deeper understanding of themselves. As an integrative, humanistic psychotherapist, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space, adapting therapy to each person. Through reflection, practical tools, and (where suitable) Walk & Talk sessions in nature, I support clients in moving forward with greater self-awareness and confidence.

Psychotherapist, MA, APPI
Dublin, County D02
I work with young people, individual adults and couples. At our initial consultation, I have two objectives: to assess whether we can work together as therapist and client, and also to assess what is the appropriate therapy to offer you. Therapy is work. I offer a carefully-bounded confidential space in which to speak of anxiety, depression, hopes and dreams. My principal mode of working is a talking therapy but where appropriate I may recommend coping strategies (e.g. for panic attacks) and psycho-education (e.g. books or podcasts). In return I expect you to attend weekly, speak freely, and pay promptly.

I work with children, adolescents and families navigating emotional, behavioural, developmental and relational challenges. Families often come to me when a child is struggling with anxiety, low mood, emotional outbursts, confidence, friendships, school difficulties, family change, loss, trauma or neurodiversity-related challenges. Through play therapy, creative psychotherapy and therapeutic parent support, I help young people understand their experiences, build emotional resilience and strengthen relationships, while supporting parents and caregivers to respond with greater confidence and connection.

Whether you saw it it coming or didn’t, the feeling is the same: You’re devastated. You gasp at your vulnerability and wonder, “Why did this happen?” Life dishes up so many hardships: heartbreak, illness, injury, death, abandonment. Though we may share similar experiences, every hurt is personal. No matter how many times well-meaning people say, “We understand,” they don’t.
