Inside yourself you realize the importance of resolving what is happening in your life so you can finally move forwards.
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. These are the areas that interest me and how they affect you and I am qualified in.

Perhaps you have been trying to deal with life’s difficulties, but still feel stuck with certain aspects of your journey.
In addition to general counselling, I am an advocate for including a dog (if desired, yours or mine) in the therapeutic relationship, to address potential barriers in traditional talk therapy. I am naturally creative and I can offer opportunity to explore aspects of your life through bespoke exercises.

Our job together is to identify what's getting in the way of the life you want, understand how those patterns took hold, and gently remove the inner and outer obstacles that are keeping you stuck.
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.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
