About
I love how resourceful people can be. Most of us don't question who we are or how we got here until in a crisis or conflict. Therapy can be useful for many reasons; self acceptance, letting go of others expectations, difficulties in relationships, feeling stuck, a personal challenge, or just learning more about yourself. I love studying the science of human behaviour and understanding why we are the way we are. I combine psychology and science with psychotherapy in my approach. I work with a wide variety of issues, and have additional training in a number of areas, constantly developing the services I can offer.
I'd a corporate background before becoming a mental health specialist. Now I'm a psychotherapist, counsellor, coach, couples therapist, mental health first aider, CBT therapist, workplace wellbeing specialist and GSRD (gender, sexual and relationship diversity) therapist. I founded a therapy centre in Dublin and am also a trainer and director.
I have very limited availability (Capel St, in person has a waiting list). Please get in touch to discuss what times suit you and to book in the initial consultation. I work a lot with personality disorders (EUPD, BPD, BP, ND) and neurodiversity but do not do assessment & diagnosis. I work with people age 16+ and run an anti-oppressive therapy practice.
