Many of my clients come to me facing deeply personal and often overlapping challenges. I provide a compassionate space to navigate trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as the complexities of relationship breakdowns, bullying, and coercive control. These struggles are often intensified by the relentless pace of modern life, social media, and financial instability. Whether you are moving through bereavement, career transitions, or burnout, I am here to help. I also support those who have turned to substance or behavioral addictions as a way to cope with the heavy weight of isolation and stress.
I hold an honours degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy from PCI/Middlesex University and a Masters in Addiction Counselling and Psychotherapy. I also hold a certificate in Couples Counselling with the Irish Institute of Couples Therapy. Further training includes level 3 in Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
I invite you to take that first step to begin your journey towards achieving clarity and happiness by contacting me. If you would like to discuss your situation and see if I would be a good fit for you, please call me to discuss any questions you may have. Many thanks for taking the time to read my profile.
