It's good to talk and share our experiences. Sometimes we need someone outside our tribe to hear our story. I will listen to you as a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist and a pre-accredited member of the IACP. I work with adults, 18 years of age and older and bring a lifetime of caring and experience to my work. I value your uniqueness and will tailor my approach to your specific needs.

I work with people who are struggling emotionally, feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves or others.

I am a lecturer in psychotherapy and I bring to the therapeutic room my expertise in the field. I offer psychotherapy to adolescents and their parents, adults, and supervision to psychotherapists and other mental health practitioners.

I help adults make sense of anxiety, overthinking, addiction, shame, and the emotional patterns that keep them stuck.
I work with people who feel stuck in patterns around addiction, overthinking, or ways of coping that no longer work but are difficult to change. Often there’s a sense of shame or frustration beneath this. I offer a grounded, reflective space to help you understand what’s driving these patterns and begin to step out of them. I have over twenty years’ experience in private practice and work fully online with clients across Ireland

When we are suffering we tend to look at all that is wrong in our lives. We sometimes make judgements and assumptions about ourselves or our situations that focus mainly on the negative. We each have developed ways of being in the world that have enabled us to cope with whatever challenges we have had to face. These coping strategies become our defence mechanisms and are often developed by us at an early age when we had few resources. They can sometimes create negative patterns of relating to others and the world around us and become barriers to intimate or professional relationships.

Many of the mothers I work with feel overwhelmed, anxious, lonely, or unsure of who they are since becoming a parent.
My work sits at the intersection of psychotherapy and matrescence. I support all mothers through identity shifts, emotional distress, birth trauma, anxiety, and the often-unspoken grief of losing who they once were. My approach is warm, steady, and person-centred.
