Welcome to Next Step Therapy, an experienced and friendly therapy practice in the heart of Dublin. Our clinical services are: counselling and psychotherapy, addiction assessment and treatment, EMDR for PTSD and complex trauma. I see my therapy room as a sacred space where people can explore things they usually don’t talk about. I approach therapy with an attentive reverence and an attitude of kindness and compassion. The process of therapy is to offer a safe place to explore and name and then change, or accept, these thoughts, attitudes, feelings, moods or behaviours and to experience someone who listens and supports.
I'm a qualified experienced and accredited addictions counsellor and generic psychotherapist with 22 years hands-on clinical experience in many settings. I place great importance on the humanity of my practice of psychotherapy. As well as my skills and clinical knowledge, I also bring compassion, kindness, curiosity, fascination and humour into my sessions.
I place great value on the first stages of therapy and believe that the act of reaching out and asking for help is a very courageous and healing act. I honour this act and aim to make the process as smooth as possible by providing a friendly, caring and non-judgemental service. I offer a free 15 min friendly chat so you can meet, question and assess me.

When we finish our session, I will send you an invoice that contains the payment details. As the business is a not-for-profit social enterprise, I try to keep expenses low, so IBAN would be the preferable method of payment.

I view all forms of mental and emotional distress as signs that the autonomic nervous system is following long-established laws of nature and evolution and is beginning to react to protect the system. The causes might be in the past or the present or thoughts about the future. All this is natural but doesn't feel natural. The solution is understand and identify what needs to change. And change it

Our first session, or maybe two, is carrying out a comprehensive assessment and collaborating on a treatment plan with short-term and medium-term goals. This might be the alleviation of symptoms of anxiety or stress or working with addiction or PTSD. I mainly use humanistic therapy, addictions treatment, CBT, EMDR, mindfulness etc. I place great importance on the relationship between us.
