I’m a humanistic-integrative psychotherapist! This means that I don’t align myself with one type of practice, I work with the client to find an intervention that will suit their goals and needs. I have a MA in Counselling & Psychotherapy and a BA in Psychological Studies. Clients tend to see results within a month, depending on the severity of the issues at hand, which are then sustained after.

I have worked with adults and adolescents with high-functioning autism for 3 years where I see clients in the ASD Ireland counselling room.
It is my belief that the relationship between the client and the therapist is the basis by which therapy begins. I offer a non-judgemental, open, and friendly practice. The key aim is always to allow clients the space and time to build a strong relationship where empathy and understanding are at the core.

I apply a person centred, integrative, holistic approach. I aim to create a safe, non judgemental space where an individual can discuss their challenges and explore new perspectives, solutions and goals. We all have a unique history, and that history can impact our present day life. Therefore, if we feel stressed , stuck, lost or empty, it is a cue that our emotional world needs tending to. This involves compassionate inquirey, empathy and empowering an individual on their journey from environmental support to self support. Safe in the knowledge that we all need a little extra help and guidance at times in our lives.

”There’s nothing human that is alien to me. If it’s human, it’s mentionable and if it’s mentionable, it’s manageable.." As an integrative therapist, I’m so incredibly passionate about working with young people and relationships. Be it the relationship with oneself, romantic, familial or platonic; I’ve had the honour of supporting clients overcoming their mountains. Experiences of grief, anxiety, loss of identity, relationship issues, confidence, depression, burnout, familial/peer conflict, uncertainty and confusion… Whatever your mountain, and its uniqueness to you; there’s none so small, or none too tall, that you cannot bring.

Welcome to Inner Power therapy, where individuals, families and children with a variety of emotional, behavioural and social needs are supported. My background involves working with young people with Autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental conditions in an educational setting. Here, I developed a strong understanding of behaviour, communication, and the importance of tailored interventions. This proved invaluable when transitioning into psychotherapy. My progression reflects a deepened commitment to helping others, expanding from direct support in educational settings to offering therapy aimed at emotional healing and growth.

I work with Adolescents (13-25), Adults and Couples.
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.

Prior to pursuing a career in mental health, I studied and worked as an artist. I had always felt that words and verbal communication could not fully express my thoughts or feelings to the people around me through traditional verbal conversation. This inspired me to find a way that I could communicate to the world what I needed to express. My medium is art, but many have not been exposed to expression in this way. I endeavour to support others through their own expressions in a therapeutic and supportive space - Listening to and supporting people through expression no matter their background or demographic.

Many people come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Often stress and past experiences are held not only in the mind but also in the body and nervous system. I offer a trauma-informed psychotherapy approach that gently integrates emotional processing with somatic and nervous system focused techniques. My work supports clients in feeling calmer, more grounded, and more connected, allowing healing to unfold in a safe and respectful way.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
