You may be feeling lost in your relationship, overwhelmed by emotion, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change. Perhaps you’ve lost yourself while caring for others, struggle to communicate, or long for deeper connection but don’t know where to begin. My clients often want clarity, steadiness, and a healthier way of relating — both to themselves and to the people they love. They’re ready to understand their patterns, strengthen their voice, and feel more secure and grounded in their relationships.

Extensive experience and expertise in working with adults, adolescents, children and families allows me to appreciate each individual's concerns, collaboratively work out therapeutic goals so that the person can lead a more fulfilling life.
Within a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Systemic framework, clients engage in a collaborative assessment in order to map out the story of their concerns and define individually-tailored therapy goals. My flexible approach facilitates and promotes active engagement in the process of change and achievement of positive results.

A space for you to share your life experiences. You can disclose what you feel comfortable talking about at your own pace in a confidential, safe, private space. Many people come to therapy to help with current struggles or past experiences, but many also attend just to maintain a good mindset. Each person’s life experience is different and as we know sometimes it can be challenging, therefore talking can help to clear our minds, uncover our struggles, and understand our emotions. Therapy can be challenging, but it can also be very rewarding. Everyone deserves to be heard and supported. Looking forward to meeting you :)

Psychotherapist, MSc, MIACP
Serves Area
I have 15 years experience working with adolescents, adults, and older adults from diverse backgrounds, supporting people through the issues that bring most of us to therapy at some point — anxiety, depression, complex trauma, grief and loss, addiction, and the relational patterns we find ourselves stuck in.
I offer sessions both face-to-face in Carlow and online with secure video. I bring particular focus to complex trauma, anxiety, and depression, three areas where patterns often run deep and where steady, careful work makes a real difference over time. I also work regularly with people navigating loss, addiction, relationship difficulties, stress and burnout.

Sparkback Consultancy
Psychotherapist, MA

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.

Psychotherapist, MA, MIACP

Source Counselling & Psychotherapy is founded on the belief that within you is a source of happiness, inner strength and resiliency that can enable you to deal with the pressures and struggles life can present. It is from these many sources that greater understanding of who you are emerges, a key factor in finding ways to deal with issues and problems you experience. Exploring your issues can provide you with a deeper awareness and understanding of the cause of these problems - the source. Knowing the source of a problem is only part of the work.
