I am a fully Accredited Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist who works with adults. I believe that by providing a confidential and safe environment can allow an individual to speak freely about their life and/or psychical suffering. This important work can provide insight into one’s relationships, life experiences and lead to the easing of psychical suffering. I place the individual’s unconscious in a privileged position within the work and I believe that it is through speaking that understanding can come about and change can take place.

I work with clients who deal with Anxiety, Stress, Loneliness, Relationship and Family Issues, Depression, Addiction, Identity Crisis, Abuse, Panic Attacks, Eating Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Phobias, Post Traumatic Stress, Low Self Esteem... For more details see liberties-psychotherapy.com. My role is in listening to you and helping you see where your problems come from and why they affect you in the ways they do, since behind a so-called symptom there is always a different, very particular story for everyone, with its elements sometimes connected in unexpected ways, from early childhood on.

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.

It also moves into deeper psychodynamic territory, and holds space for the existential and spiritual.
At the heart of my approach is connection. Connection to self. Connection to another. Connection to something greater: community, the natural world, the divine.

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.

Psychotherapist, MIACP
Dublin, County D02
“One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful”. My work is psychoanalytically oriented and is based on the belief that you already have the solution. So, let’s find it! The practice of psychoanalytic psychotherapy recognises that often, the language (verbal and non-verbal) of that solution only needs to be heard in order to be consciously realised and put into action. I will help you identify and define this language.

If you’re someone who looks like you’re coping on the outside, but inside feels overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, this might be for you. Many of the people who reach out to me say some version of the same thing: “I’m holding everything together, but it’s getting harder. I don’t really know what I need, just that something isn’t working anymore.” You might be putting others first, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling unsure of what you think or feel. On the outside, you may seem “fine,” but inside, you’re carrying more than you know how to manage.

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.

I'm a psychotherapist specialising in migraine and chronic pain. Are you living with migraine and exhausted from pushing through? Constantly working, showing up, keeping going — all while feeling no one understands what it costs you? Do you feel guilty about cancelling plans, worry about the next attack and find it difficult to relax? You may feel like you've already tried everything and nothing makes a difference. Perhaps you also live with other pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and back or neck pain.
