I work with teens (16 years+) and adult clients.
With every client, I work in a collaborative and client centred way to help explore and address the needs or difficulties you identify in a way that’s helpful for you. Working in partnership to empower you around your own needs and goals is central to the way I work.

This means I integrate several approaches to therapy, including exploring life experiences and relationships and how they impact on how we feel about ourselves and others, supporting clients with trauma (from childhood or adulthood), and supporting clients in their search for meaning and well-being.
Online/Telephone accredited Counsellor & Psychotherapist and member of IACP. When we have experienced trauma or difficulties in our lives, we may feel a low sense of worth, lack of belief in ourselves, or struggle in relationships with others. We may feel a lack of motivation, stress, anxiety or depression and find it difficult to cope. Therapy can help to uncover our thoughts, feelings and beliefs about ourselves and others, and how these impact on our lives. Feeling heard can support us to heal trauma, losses or painful experiences we have been through, as well as to understand ourselves better.

I’m an EMDR-trained psychotherapist working with trauma, addiction, and the patterns that quietly organise a life. Before psychotherapy, I worked in the international art world — a way of seeing I still carry: attention to what is held in the body, what repeats, what resists language. I don’t see people as problems to fix, but as nervous systems shaped by experience. Therapy becomes a steady, boundaried space where what has been carried alone can be met, felt, and slowly reworked — until something more liveable, and more your own, begins to take shape.

I'm a licensed therapist with years of experience working with adults.
Feeling trapped in a painful 'push-pull' cycle? One of you constantly seeks closeness, while the other needs space, leaving you both feeling lonely and misunderstood. These predictable patterns are often driven by our attachment styles, creating a dynamic that feels strangely familiar yet difficult to break. I help individuals and couples move beyond managing symptoms to understand and change this dance. Together, we can decode your pattern, heal its roots, and build a secure, loving connection. The goal is not to change who you are, but to help you relate to each other in a new way fostering security, intimacy, and mutual support

Trauma doesn't always look like crisis. Sometimes it looks like coping so well that no one, including you, notices what it's costing. I work with women and mothers who are exhausted from holding it together, and ready for things to actually shift. My clients often function well on the outside while carrying anger, anxiety, or exhaustion they can't fully explain. They've usually already done the work of understanding themselves - what they want now is real, lasting change, not more insight.

Since then I have worked in various community settings around South Kerry, while developing my private practice with Adults, families and adolescents.
Hello and welcome. In my experience of helping people over the years, healing happens when people feel safe and heard. I help people that are struggling in their life, by offering
a safe relational space, by using valuable tools from EMDR Therapy and from knowing what works so that you can feel at ease and comfortable in the session. You can work at your own pace on your desired issue, this can be something from the present, e.g a relatioship issues, stress, anxiety, grief and loss, or depression. With EMDR therapy, we can work with issues of historical trauma, PTSD and physical discomfort and pain.
