With over 15 year experience as a clinical psychologist in the mental health services and hospital settings, I am experienced in working with people who have experienced complex challenges in their lives, including early trauma and those with longstanding mental health challenges. I have a particular interest in helping people who have been suffering with physical symptoms (chronic pain conditions, functional neurological disorders among others) where medical treatments have not brought relief.

Life presents us with challenges—whether it’s anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, or personal roadblocks. My clients are people who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps. They experience stress, low confidence, or difficulty navigating relationships, grief, or major life changes. More than anything, they want clarity, resilience, and a sense of direction. They seek not just relief from their struggles but the ability to take control and create meaningful change in their lives.

Sessions may be reimbursed through private health insurance ( Vhi, Laya, Irish Life).
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or finding it hard to navigate your emotions or relationship with food? You don't have to do this alone. I work with adults and adolescents, offering a warm, grounded, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. My approach is integrative and psychodynamic, meaning I work with you at a deeper level to make sense of your experiences, while also drawing on evidence-based tools like CBT-E for eating disorders and trauma-informed interventions.

Do you look capable on the outside, but inside you are running on empty, constantly on edge, and trapped in survival mode. I see adults struggling with chronic anxiety, heavy overwhelm, and the isolating exhaustion of burnout. I work with those navigating perfectionism, low self-esteem, deep grief, and complex relationship or family patterns —including co-dependency, adult history of adoption, or the impact of narcissism and addiction. If life's personal and professional systems have left you feeling stuck, detached, and carrying heavy emotional baggage, you are not alone.

Difficulties and distress can arise in anyone’s life at any time. Even with the support of family and friends, it may still be difficult to cope and function effectively. Sometimes, it may be easier to talk about personal, family or relationship issues with an independent person. Even without being in crisis, or on the verge of one, underlying feelings of dissatisfaction with life in general may still be experienced. This may also involve profiling and assessment to assist the therapeutic care plan. The Phoenix Centre can help you with these issues in a friendly, professional and confidential environment. www.phoenixcentre.ie

There can be so many reasons behind why we are feeling awful, and it can be very hard sometimes to articulate, to share, or even to understand, our inner pain, but by engaging in a relationship with an empathetic therapist, you will experience someone who seeks to learn, to support, to understand, to sit through the hard conversations with you.
