Trua, the Irish word for compassion aptly describes my approach to therapy. As an integrative therapist, I use a person-centred technique, providing my clients with a warm, safe, empathic and non-judgemental space. I work collaboratively with my clients facilitating them to explore past and present issues, providing them with an opportunity for discovery, growth, reconciliation and acceptance thus offering the potential for better relationships with themselves and others and a happier way of life. I truly believe each and every one of us has the capacity to change and I endeavour to help my clients realise their true potential.

As an integrative therapist, I blend various therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs. My approach is rooted in a deep respect for the mind-body connection, recognizing that emotional, mental, and physical health are intertwined. My goal is to support clients in navigating life’s challenges, whether it's managing stress, healing from past trauma, improving relationships, or developing healthier coping strategies. I believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and work collaboratively with my clients to help them better understand their thoughts, behaviours, and emotions.

Therapy is food for the soul ! 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 :)

I have worked as a crisis therapist. and with clients bereaved by suicide with Pieta. Additionally, I work with clients who can often feel misunderstood, unseen, and unheard. Many of us may become overwhelmed and struggle with addiction, bereavement, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, loneliness, feelings of isolation and more. I believe healing is a process. I facilitate a space for you to explore your needs and life goals more deeply, observing your strengths, qualities and values that can offer you a more meaningful life. Sometimes, we may forget who we are. A Sufi saying "I am a hidden teasure and I long to be known".

I promote improved awareness of benefits of a healthy lifestyle with an emphasis on mental fitness and connection to self. BEING as connected and as aligned with our own true essence is probably one of the most challenging aspects of being HUMAN. For most of my life, I allowed my self-care and attention to be shifted and conditioned to serve others over my own core and essential needs. I now help you, through my experience and through the tools and techniques I have developed, to (re)discover, better appreciate and nurture unconditional self-love and care for the beautiful person you are (at your core).

Is life difficult right now ? Perhaps you’re feeling anxious or down ? Sometimes you may feel like you don’t really fit in ? Talking to friends and family can help. Although there may be times when they are not available, or the issue troubling you may be too personally difficult to discuss with them. Talking to someone who is independent, whom you can trust to have your best interests at heart, can be a relief ! In these situations it can help to talk to a trusted counsellor or psychotherapist.

Healing isn't about fixing you, it's about discovering you were never broken. Step into a space where your emotions find their voice. Your expression finds it's freedom. Your past finds understanding and your future finds possibility. I specialize in trauma recovery, particularly PTSD/CPTSD & some of the ways it can manifest. Including recovering from narcissistic abuse, addiction, attachment issues, anxiety, depression & poor self-esteem. Together we can uncover unhelpful and harmful patterns/beliefs and unlock self-loving ways of being. Healing deep seated wounds, embracing the inner child and adult-self with love and compassion.

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.

I have been working with clients since 2006 and my aim is always to offer a space for each client, adolescent or adult, to feel comfortable and safe. It is important to me to offer an experience of ease and flow to the client. I work in a non-judgement and real way which I have found leads the client into a relaxed place within themselves. I am holistically focused, so this means I have quite a few tools in the toolbox to approach the various topics or issues which arise in each session. My motto is Answering the Call of The Heart and embody this in my everyday practice and that spills into my work in the therapy room.
