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.

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.

Do you feel overwhelmed, lost or stuck? Is there a sense that life could be better, that you are floundering instead of flourishing? Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down and reflect on your life space; a chance to explore and gain insight into unhelpful patterns of belief and behaviour which can cause distress and influence how you feel about yourself and the world. I am passionate about instilling hope by fostering greater connection and meaning in life which you may have lost sight of. Therapy has the potential to facilitate small yet meaningful changes, creating a powerful ripple effect on your mental health and wellbeing.

It is hard to describe what psychotherapy is really like. One of us, Jonathan Shedler describes it well. "We are changing life patterns. There is no path from Point A to Point B that does not traverse the unknown Real transformation occurs when patient and therapist can enter and embrace that unknown Perhaps it is like ancient sailors setting out to sea in search of a new and distant land—but uncertain how far they might have to travel before they once again set foot on solid earth, or what they might find when they get there" There is no substitute for meeting face to face though. And proceeding or not from there.

We provide Adult and Adolescent ADHD assessments, and a range of other developmental and psychological assessments, as well as ongoing therapeutic support. We understand that reaching out for help—for yourself, your teen, or your family—can feel overwhelming. An initial consultation is a calm and reassuring first step, offering a warm space to share concerns, ask questions, and begin exploring what the most helpful path forward might be. I offer in-person appointments from two clinic locations: Clonskeagh, Dublin 14, and Greystones, Co. Wicklow.

I’m an ADHDer. I know what it’s like to feel like the world wasn’t quite built for your brain or nervous system! I work with people who’ve spent years wondering why everything feels harder than it should. Those newly diagnosed, late-diagnosed, or those suspecting they might be neurodivergent and wanting space to explore that. You are all very welcome. Life has a way of pulling the rug out. Perimenopause. A new baby. Starting college and losing all structure overnight. These can be the turning point moments an ADHD brain finally says “enough.” If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
