In a few words, I identify as autistic, non-binary, queer, a video game fanatic, and occasionally an alternative drag/cabaret performer.
I offer both traditional talk therapy, as well as Brainspotting, a powerful tool for processing and releasing your emotions or symptoms of distress. My work is experiential, tailored more towards your emotional and somatic experiences, rather than just your thoughts or cognitive elements, as your wellbeing is reliant on the harmony of your entire self.

Are you struggling with an issue in your life and need some professional help? Perhaps you are experiencing low moods or have lost your motivation. You may be suffering from anxiety and find everyday situations hard to manage. Do you want to change how you feel, but have no idea how to do this? You might not want to talk to friends or family, as the issue is a deeply personal one. I provide face-to-face services from my practice here in county Kerry to adults over the age of 18 years. I also work online, providing the same professional service to clients anywhere in the world!

You may be feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in difficult patterns, or struggling with relationships, self-esteem, or life changes. Sometimes emotions can feel confusing, especially when life seems “fine” on the surface. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and life transitions, including the emotional impact of immigration, loneliness, and adapting to life in a new country.

Men's Mental Health, Anxiety & Relationship Counselling If your mind rarely switches off, you may find yourself overthinking, replaying conversations, or feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts. Even when you want things to feel calmer, it can be difficult to step out of these patterns. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, and relationship or intimacy concerns, particularly where overthinking and emotional overwhelm begin to impact confidence, connection, and daily life.

As a therapist, I am trained to listen to you in a particular way that is different to how you might be used to being listened to. When I sit or walk with you, I am paying attention to the different ways that you express yourself with words, tone, movement, and metaphor to see if we can get a sense together of what might be underlying what is troubling you or keeping you stuck. Our work together is a space in which you can be as you are, speak as you need to, play with ideas and dreams, and tune into your body as a rich source of information, but importantly, a place in which you can do this at your own pace.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re not sure where to begin. You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or simply longing for a deeper understanding of yourself. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to face it alone.

I believe that most individuals can heal, grow and find resources within in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. I will work with you in exploring issues from the past and how they are affecting you in the present. I will also help you with tools and resources to help you in the day to day. I have a special interest in working with all members of the adoption triad specifically around, loss rejection and a sense of identity.
