I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that are difficult to shift alone. This can include anxiety, low mood, OCD, trauma, or longer-term emotional difficulties. Some people are managing day to day but feel burnt out, disconnected, or struggling with self-esteem. Many are high-functioning and used to coping independently. I work in a neurodiversity-affirming way and aim to bring clarity to what is happening beneath the surface, so change feels more possible. You don’t need a diagnosis to begin therapy.

I really understand how debilitating anxiety and depression can be, that relationships break down and how mind boggling it is for a victim of narcissistic abuse or to subconsciously carry around Intergenerational Trauma or navigate your daily life if you are Neurodivergent.
Maybe you are someone who has tried with some success to deal with your own issues but have reached the threshold of your own ability and now need a counsellor you can build trust with. You like to be independent and looking for professional help is not something you do easily. So maybe Today is the day! Inside yourself you realize the importance of resolving what is happening in your life so you can finally move forwards. You feel it's time to talk to an experienced accredited counsellor who is empathetic, who will listen non-judgmentally and objectively and give you space so you can make the right decisions for yourself.

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 :)

In therapy, we work together to explore how anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties may be connected to unconscious conflicts, early experiences, and repeated emotional patterns.
People often come to therapy when the ways they have used to manage emotional pain are no longer working, or have begun to affect their relationships, confidence, and ability to feel at ease with themselves, yet something keeps pulling them back into anxiety, low mood, grief, painful relationships, or emotional instability. I work with adults who want more than short-term reassurance: they want to understand the deeper roots of their difficulties and begin to restore psychological stability, emotional balance, and lasting change.

I have a particular interest in family relational dynamics, attachment trauma/deficits (CPTSD/ACE), that are often the source of stress, anxiety, low mood and depression.
Deciding to come for counselling can often be a difficult and drawn-out process. It is often also a very rewarding and enriching experience leading to changes in one’s life that reduce distress and increase one’s ability to cope with difficulties and challenges. By it's nature the process involves engaging with uncomfortable aspects of oneself and our relationships that are challenging. The goal of the process is to increase self-knowledge, self-acceptance and self-compassion to enhance our capacity to relate to ourselves and others in healthier and more fulfilling ways.

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.

Are you finding it difficult to cope or having problems in your relationships? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by your emotions or you find yourself overthinking? Psychotherapy can help you connect with yourself, make sense of your experiences and find solutions. I believe that life is complex and no two people experience it the same way. Therefore therapy is not a 'one size fits all'. I draw on years of experience as a therapist and I integrate approaches so that the therapeutic space is centred on you and your needs.

I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulaton, and relationship issues, often rooted in underlying trauma responses.
For many neurodivergent people, the nervous system is already stretched before anything dramatic happens. Then something does — a new job's relentless demands, a relationship slowly coming apart, a loss you couldn't shake. Other people move on. You tell yourself it wasn't a big deal. But your body doesn't get that message. Managing sensory load, masking, adapting. And then something overwhelming lands on top. The system can stay braced long after. On edge. Freezing where you didn't before. Chest tight. Sleep changed. Reacting and not sure why. It doesn't always feel like "trauma." Sometimes it just feels confusing.
