Are you struggling with issues of self-worth and self-esteem? Perhaps growing up it was difficult to get your needs met or to develop a strong sense of self. As a result, you may experience issues of identity, confidence, addiction, anxiety or a sense of chronic loneliness or emptiness. Perhaps you very hard on yourself or you look to others to give you a feeling of being good enough? If so, you might seek a sense of worth through relationship addiction, spirituality or perfectionism.

Attending counselling can be rewarding for people and can lead to changes in one’s life which reduce distress and increase one’s ability to cope with life’s difficulties. However at times it may bring up unconformable aspects of one’s life. Sometimes aspects of therapy can be challenging but over time lead to a greater ability to cope with past, present or future issues which may arise.

It is my vision to support people, to work with them to find their purpose and talents in order to fulfil their potential in life. When a problem presents itself, I will help you in the search for solutions to the current impasse to allow movement forward. We can seek out the source of the problem to see if it can be prevented in the future, or at least its effects reduced, should it reoccur. I feel that by working like this, together you can learn how to overcome the difficulties life sends your way. In this way, you can become empowered. Using your own strengths you already possess to build a future you want to live in

I believe in the quality of the therapeutic relationship and provide a confidential, non-judgmental and supportive environment for my clients. I see my role as a therapist is to facilitate and assist clients to make meaning of their experience and discover their inner strengths. I am a dynamic and goal orientated psychotherapist who promotes self-awareness, personal growth and well-being leading to more empowered clients.

Sometimes you might find yourself being really sensitive and feeling overwhelmed with emotions that are coming out of nowhere, often flying off the handle, or being tearful and upset. You might not be feeling yourself, like you are carrying a huge weight and you don’t know what it is or why. It might be that you feel really tense, and ‘on-edge’ and it’s difficult to relax. It can also be that you feel totally shut-off from others, detached and disconnected, feeling empty and numb. Life has lost its colour. Others constantly feel guilty, find it really hard to say no to others, and live in a constant state of never being good enough.

I have 30 years experience working with a wide range of clients, coming to see me with many different issues, including anxiety, loss, and stress. In addition hundreds of professionals in the area of psychotherapy, counselling and coaching have attended workshops which I have led. My orientation is humanistic. What this means is that my work with you is non-judgemental and non-prescriptive. Our work together aims to help you to gain greater self-awareness, and with this comes release from internal conflict, less anxiety, a greater sense of freedom, and greater ability to make choices that suit you.

Constant worrying or feeling anxious a lot of the time doesn’t have to be a life-draining force. Have you finally got to that point in your struggle with anxiety that you really want to deal with it? If you are, I’m here to help you. Together we can help you make the journey out of your anxiety. I can help you manage your anxious thoughts more effectively, by reducing your levels of anxiety and enjoy life without worrying all the time.

I treat a variety of common mental health difficulties and life challenges (e.g. mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, complex trauma, relationships issues, stress, low self-esteem, perfectionist traits). Some people aren’t quite sure what’s going on for them, but something just doesn’t feel right. Whatever your struggle is, I want to help you to get your life on track, break out of unhelpful patterns of behaviour, and find meaning and satisfaction in life. I can offer you a safe and non-judgmental space to explore what it is that’s causing you difficulty, and an evidence-based approach to help you to finally move forward.

Online Therapy available now. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed and unable to focus? Feeling worried, struggling with Covid 19 anxiety's? Please phone me today for support - I specialise in working with clients struggling with Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Trauma & Unresolved Childhood Issues. When I first meet with a client, I ask what has brought them to therapy. With this information we discuss how we will work with together. The first session with any new client is to assess if we can work together and if the client feels comfortable with continuing the therapeutic process. Limits of confidentially are also discussed.

I help clients work through issues such as coping with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem and relationship problems. Bringing a warm, non-judgmental space I can help you to explore whatever issue you bring to therapy. I tailor my approach to your needs using my training in a number of models of therapy. I help you to delve deeper into the root cause of whatever you are struggling with so that you can reach a greater depth of understanding and connection with your self. You can then bring this knowledge and awareness into your life so that you are better able to manage yourself whatever obstacles come up in your life.

I am a fully accredited Art Therapist with a Master’s Degree in Art Therapy from Crawford College of Art and Design, and ​I have also completed my clinical training as a Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist with the Tivoli Institute in Dublin. I work with adults, adolescents and children in individual sessions with an integrative and creative approach to therapy.​ I respond to each client’s individual needs and this may be through talk therapy or creative arts therapy approaches to promote healing, generate growth and insight to their situation, help develop their resources and strengths, and to resolve personal issues.

In everyone’s life there are times when we need to reset our learned ways or find new ways as the current ones create emotional pain. Oftentimes it helps to look in detail how things are connected with someone that can provide a safe space to do so. We are all capable to find our own ingenious ways to live a fulfilled life. This very personal learning can be supported by a trained counsellor/psychotherapist therapist. I believe strongly that my function as therapist is to provide the space and knowledge for the collaborative work my clients choose to do and that healing will come from within ourselves where we are in pain.
