This is a round-about way of working with distress in order to get at the heart of the matter.

I am a MIACP Multilingual (English, Italian, Romanian) qualified Psychotherapist. As of now, I am currently pursuing a four-year Clinical & Professional MA in Psychoanalysis at UCD School of Medicine. I have completed additional training in Couples Therapy, Family Therapy, CBT for Menopausal Symptoms, Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), 'Lets Talk About Suicide', Logotherapy and Existential Analysis, and Death Doula. I strongly hold the belief that worry, and sadness take up a lot of people's time, and it can be challenging to concentrate on anything other than simply existing, and that could bring unhappiness!

For more than twenty years I have walked the path of healing, weaving together the insights of psychotherapy with the wisdom of Body, Breath, and Spirit. My work is integrative, grounded in Psychodynamic and Humanistic approaches, enriched by Somatic Experiencing, Reichian bodywork, Family Constellations, and Bioenergetics. It has also grown beyond the clinical, into a sacred space where esoteric spiritual teachings, crystals, and energy healing meet.

I have been working with clients since 2006 and my aim is always to offer a space for each client, adolescent or adult, to feel comfortable and safe. It is important to me to offer an experience of ease and flow to the client. I work in a non-judgement and real way which I have found leads the client into a relaxed place within themselves. I am holistically focused, so this means I have quite a few tools in the toolbox to approach the various topics or issues which arise in each session. My motto is Answering the Call of The Heart and embody this in my everyday practice and that spills into my work in the therapy room.

As a therapist, I don't aim to 'fix' my clients. Instead, I believe they possess the innate capacity to heal and uncover their inner strength. My role is to guide them on their journey, helping them uncover the tools and resources they've been carrying within themselves. Many individuals have lost touch with their inner power, their voice, and their resilience due to trauma and other life experiences. As a therapist, I use various approaches, including art therapy, psychodynamic techniques, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to empower my clients to reclaim their voice and inner power.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside everything feels tangled and heavy. You may be carrying anxiety, self-doubt, or the weight of a major life transition—while wondering why things that seem manageable for others feel so overwhelming for you. Many of the people I work with feel stuck, exhausted from overthinking, or unsure how to move forward, even though they’ve tried to “hold it together” for a long time.

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Counsellors
What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.

How do therapists treat NPD?
By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.

Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?
Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.

How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?
It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
