Burnt out? Overwhelmed? Navigating a life transition? Something in you knows that how you're living and how you want to live are not quite aligning. Whether that shows up as anxiety, trauma, a sense of meaninglessness or a quiet feeling of being stuck, this is exactly the work I do. I am an accredited psychotherapist with specialist training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy i.e. working with what the nervous system holds, not just what the mind can articulate. I have a particular interest in existential questions: meaning, identity, and how to live more fully. My approach is warm, direct and unhurried. I am here to help you.
Accredited psychotherapist offering a warm, body-centered approach to help you manage stress, burnout, grief, and life transitions. Combining relational therapy with Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, I help you process how the body holds onto overwhelm. In-person Mon-Wed (Terenure) & secure online sessions nationwide every Thursday. English, French, Irish.
If you are feeling disconnected, exhausted, or stuck in your head, please know you don’t have to carry this weight alone. Your body and mind deserve a gentle space to heal and slow down. Wherever you are at today, you are so welcome here. I invite you to take the first step and reach out; let’s navigate the way forward together.
